THE DEAN MACHINE

Good fair race then between all 4 riders

Freddie Jacobsen has proved quite a signing for grudziadz

Look at it this way the sport is littered with riders who quit then went on to be injured or killed doing other things, life is for living, if you still can then why not

That’s not how the mind of a racer thinks, once a racer always a racer and when the age of reason hits the reason side of the brain is often over ruled by the racer bit

I think pawlicki has reached the point Pedersen was at a few years ago, pedersen has matured a bit and although hard doesn’t seem desperate now pawlicki is desperate and dangerous

Who is RR for in Grudiadz team and where are the ultra fans on the 4th bend ? Stand is completely empty

Some decent racing in this falubaz meeting

Zmarzlik clearly didn’t like that track but put 3 good heats in his first 3 rides, pretty much putting him the semi and put in good 2 first corners when it mattered and it’s job done, stretches his world championship lead

A couple of heads have dropped cause of track surface and a few others are settling for safe places after 1st corner rather than chasing the win, can’t blame them really but it’s meetings like this that make a world champion

Couple of weeks back Piotr pawlicki was using someone else’s bikes at Lublin , it looks like smektala is using the same bikes tonight

I think the sport on league level has reached a point of its needs a mechanical overall, it’s becoming more like F1 by the year but a poor man’s F1, the product this year has been very poor in all countries but nothing will change, the sport is run by the riders and the tuners for the riders and the tuners

Was just about to post this too but it’s not just Toruń, Częstochowa and grudiadz have become gate and go tracks too, with the later 2 nobody is riding round the fence like in previous seasons, is it these anlas tyres ? Or is a new shale being used ? Whatever it is it’s not doing polish speedway any favours

Who was the young Dane that rode for gorzow last year ? He had jan o pedersen helping him

I posted about this at the time, pawlicki is bordering on dangerous when he isn’t scoring well but the exclusion of dudek was bizarre, he was still going so didn’t stop the race, the ref stopped the race because he saw what we saw that was dudek getting well and truly stuffed but then excluded him for it ?

Me, I won a few pennies on him too

On what grounds was dudek excluded ? He got stuffed by pawlicki but was still going when the ref stopped the race

Pawlicki is bordering on dangerous, he has always been wild but he is crossing the line

Batchelor looks like he riding an engine with an unfamiliar set up for him, he was riding like a novice who’s bike was taking him for a ride and he had no confidence in it ,so given that you have to ask why he was used in heat 15

Not that’s it really relevant but my memory of that day was a strangely poignant one, although still riding I was also mechanic for hynek stichuer and we had gone to stay with hynek while going to the czech GP, on the Sunday we went to pardubice track, there were only us there and we were having a drink in the workshops under the pits of which one was formally lee Richardson’s, his stickers were all over the benches and cabinets, we locked up and went for food and we heard the news he had died, it’s was sickening when I think back to it but just felt odd and poiniant that we had been in in old workshop at the time he was killed, as I said not really relevant but reading this thread just reminded me of that day

Don’t think even the dreaded joker could save this sinking ship tonight

Leszno are dreadful tonight, pawlicki not using his own bikes ?

The track has quite a large adverse camber on both bends a bit like rye house had making impossible to use the last quarter of the track up by the fence, if you watch Jorgensen in one of his rides last night he had a good outside run but went over the camber and just lost ground, the adverse camber wasn’t always there but has been there for a few years now, not sure why it’s been allowed to happen or if it was deliberate but it places most of the racing focus on the white line which doesn’t make for good speedway, the size and shape does make it a technical track but imo it needs the adverse camber taking out and the racing would be better

Wanted GM SR upright Engine or GM SR crank cases

This is my last post about this on this ,Then they will fully aware that this war has been going on since 2014 not February 2022 and 1000s of Russians (and Ukrainians)living in Ukraine have been killed by Ukraine,and by us I mean the government not the bsf , thought that was obvious but clearly not
