THE DEAN MACHINE

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

What has happened to Toruń’s track,? it used to be such a good racetrack but lately it’s become the new gorzow, 7 races and not a whiff of a genuine pass

Russia didn’t start this and that’s the point, the blame for this lays firmly at the door of the USA and the UK and NATO, your reasoning should also ban woffinden etc cause of Britain’s invasion of many nations, we the people are being played and this will end in a world war unless people around the world start seeing past the propaganda

Our blood thirsty government is us

Decent meeting, I think Bartoz is nailed on for champion, he is in a different class but very open for runners up, I’ve always watched the GP on polish tv but they are not showing it so had to watch English last night, don’t like Marcella but she is what she is, strange music on replays sound like Egyptian music but not really relevant, camera work of racing was suspect as usual, with camera focussed on riders at the back while battle on at front

Pushing for war then

The whole thing is wrong full stop, both sides are wrong but the worst of all is us we are just peddling war

You see what Ukraine soldiers are doing to their own citizens right ? Oh that’s right you don’t because they don’t want you to see it, it’s war their are no winners just losers, neither side are blameless but what is reported in western media is just lies,
