Looking over the fence it is not looking good, all the banking from the bends has been removed to centre green level and is now a 15 foot pile of shale just before the entrance of the 3rd bend.

They should race a speedway bike against a flattracker to show the superior speed of a speedway bike

I'll look at the general lee from the dukes of hazard in different light now!

The 70's 2 valve Jawa handbook claims 48 bhp @ 8000 rpm, current GM's are making around 80 bhp.......

If they are the same make as ours with a red stripe then they are the softer type.

The tyres supplied this year are a softer rubber compound, hence more grip.

Would be good if charging a tenner, it increased that crowd of 500 up to 1000. I have spoken to a few people lately who say they used to go and enjoyed going but found it became to expensive and haven't been since. I also appreciate you know the costs of running speedway.

Can't see why Nicki was excluded because Kildermand turned early and tried to block him.

Well as I have said before have a rule that says the winning engine can be bought for at least full retail price at the end of the meeting. That should stop anyone spending £50,000 on 10 engines to make a good one.

I see Rye house were missing Kasper on Monday because he crashed and injured himself in Poland.

Don't worry there will always be speedway, but riders will have to pay to race just like in go karts and moto x. Did the poster's around town pay off for long eaton, is it still going strong.

Then have a clause that any one can buy the winning engine from the rider for retail price plus a bit more to cover the cost of an engine rebuild the rider might have incurred.

Virtually every rider has a GM any way, so the BSPA should get a camshaft developed to make some usable mid range power, fit rev limiters and use air filters that actually filter the dust out of the air also ultimately have an oil filter on the engine and these engines now used would be bullet proof. This should be paid for by the BSPA and use type approved homologated parts.

That was in the past, remember your only as good as your last race. Well done Chris.

There is nothing stopping riders maintaining there own engines,in fact I personally find it easier to remove the head and barrel from a gm compared to how you had to on a weslake or 2 valve jawa, never did enjoy putting the head back on my 2 valve jawa with them funny square bolts.
