THE DEAN MACHINE

If he would of hung around on monday while his mechanics were taking his engine out he would of seen volunteers sweeping up the pits after the meeting

And I repeat how much longer are fans going to be lied to

Not good enough, signed for Plymouth first, you either ride here or you don’t, sick to death of crap like this, taking the pish out of British speedway, things have to change

How much longer is this reoccurring situation going to be tolerated? How much longer is the public going to be openly lied too? With all the problems British speedway faces it’s crap like this which is rubbing it in our faces

He riding tomorrow for Rzeszow, nothing today

Qualifying now cancelled

Who ? Could get Nicki Pedersen to see out season, he out of a job at moment

Big Kev malkiewisz is going to win the final then announce he signed for Birmingham till end of season 😂

William cearns or Vinny foord

Only in speedway would you get a situation where the people who pay for the most expensive tickets have to get wet so the referee can see the track

Andy Grahame and Arthur browning are available, it’s getting that desperate

What does(HMS) mean after Martyna Mroz name ?

Maybe because this is a government matter (visa’s) they are not allowed to say to not jeopardise the procedure ?

It’s alway reduced to 3 laps for the uprights on the iow because we are all a bit older and we ain’t as fit as we used to be and it’s a big old track 😂

Which when you break it down into it’s simplistic terms is £6850 per minute, not sure I’d get out of bed for that to be honest 😂

Correct decision imo, the lad obviously has the natural talent but there is a mental block in there somewhere, it was all on show last year at numerous meetings where he just shut off and you can’t race speedway like that,you will get injured, speedway is one of the most head strong sports there is and if your head isn’t 100% in it you’re better off out of it

I don’t believe riders of the past were any better motorcyclists than today’s riders, what was different especially in the 70s was you would often find riders competing in grasstrack trials,scrambling and hill climbs events etc on a Sunday afternoon where as now they are riding in Poland

Imo the extra couple of 1000revs generated by the modern bike is just wasted and is doing nothing more than wearing tyres, engines and tracks out quicker while not generating any more forward momentum and I believe making the bikes more dangerous when they do encounter a rut or bump or deep dirt,a chat with one of my friends who I won’t name says he believes the bikes are quicker down the straights and definitely into the corners but slower round the corners because they have to scrub the speed off that they have generated going into the corners therefore the overall the same, so the bikes are going faster in actual speed but not faster over a lap

I’ve got 4 well maintained raceable uprights 1 jap, 1 weslake and 2 GMs and you’re right I wouldn’t hand them over to anyone, cost too much to get to that standard and if anyone is going to blow them up or bend them it’s going to be me and I think that’s pretty much the stance of the majority of owners

Not as easy as it sounds, where are the upright bikes coming from ? The is quite a few knocking around but not owned by current riders and unfortunately 70% of those knocking around are museum pieces and not raced anymore

I have debating these very questions for a while now and there was a piece in the speedway star last week prompted by me about the modern bikes in the modern era are not going any faster than the bikes of by gone years, I was using the race times at Sheffield as an example, the times last night at Sheffield were around the 61-63 seconds mark which is the same times as Hans Nielsen and Shaun Moran at the same track in the 80s, now track surfaces, tyres and silencers are a factor but the fact remains we are going no faster despite the £1000s thrown at it, what is going faster is the back wheel speed but the bike speed is roughly the same, an interesting video to watch is Dan bewley riding a godden at Workington when he out with another rider on his modern laydown and how the godden pulls better out of start to first corner, when they were going round you can here the godden struggling for revs coming off the corners but holding its own speed wise but Dan is on an untuned engine with probably the wrong gearing which eventually blows up, so imagine if it was a tuned up godden with the right gearing ?

Anyway can we get back to Workington, if we need to discuss the sport can we start another topic

Woryna had one of those meetings where his points don’t represent the effort he put in

Believe whatever you like mate but the increase in ferry price is 3 times what it was last year, it’s the most expensive ferry crossing in the world per mile traveled, it is true they rely on holiday season but, they always have but this season 7 meetings was only decided on at a meeting on june 13th, if it went the other way, then a couple of the meetings were hopefully going to be at another track on the mainland, if it was as you think, they could of said in march /april we not running till July, these are the fixtures as the riders needed to know as early as possible

I think with Hanson and pawlicki’s, Wrocław would of been sweating tonight, Kurtz, bewley,laguta and janowski all look a bit underpowered at times tonight
