Wimbourne road has not been great to ride this year so I have been told by a couple of riders I know, it use to be awesome. Tracks use to have a lot of good shale on it and after each race the rakers brought it back, they use tractors now, you can see the lack of shale after 4 heats when the tractor grades it. Man made tracks are getting better

A lot of tracks don't buy enough shale too

Spot on with the just for starters lol uk speedway is a real mess. Tracks have got worse in the UK over the years compared to those abroad.

one race night in the UK would never happen as most stadium owners don't give speedway promotors a choice, also Leicester who own there stadium only want to race Saturday's.

But promotors still want big money from the fans even though the top riders have long gone, speedway is a £10 sport, promotors need to budget for that price as its too expensive now.

The UK is just pocket money or somewhere to test bikes out in a weak league,however the top guys don't need either. The only way they would comeback is if UK promotors offered them mega deals, big money talks. When the British champion turns is back on British speedway that to me is more of a concern than the likes of Pedersen,Hancock & Others not wanting to ride here.

I have forgot more than you would ever know

Just watched super tai on a normal speedway bike tonight and not a special rocket powered one.

Not really as a lot of riders in the elite league also ride in the premier league, plus speedway should only be £10 for normal meetings anyway.

An 8pm start for the sky match will be interesting as the first race might not start until at least 8.20pm as the sky puppets will be so excitable about this match and won't stop for air lol

That was a Big off

Couldn't believe the constant delays,they knew the rain was coming, talk after heat 15, think your right, heat 15 looked belle vues to lose, think it would of been 5-1 to BV. I just came in as rosco was finishing is interview about zagar, did he get loads of stick lol

Bomber is as tough as carter was back in the day. I can't see bomber missing it.

People question my posts lol are you serious ? How many Brits gets regular rides abroad 2 or 3 how many Brits want to race abroad loads, problem is other countries look after there own first which is something we don't over here,British promoters put more money into the average foreigner than up and coming Brits. You have no idea the treatment British riders get in their own country

They should of beat the rain to heat 15 but it dragged abit tonight, great win for belle vue.

You are right on a number of things but having tai in British speedway would be good for the sport here ?

Bomber is one of the toughest riders I have seen so I can't see him letting the bees down for the play offs.

you are clearly clueless on why the sport is dying over.

yes it wouldn't matter world champion or not. it's time the BSPA grew some and stopped riders using our leagues when it's convenient for them as the sport is dying in this country. Tai chose not to ride in Britain and if I was in charge he wouldn't ride for team GB until he did. It would be the same if bomber didn't ride in the UK then I wouldn't pick him. Riders should Support British speedway or simple don't ride for Team Great Britain. He did British speedway and his British fans no favours by not riding here, actually he has lost a lot of fans for doing just that, tai looks after himself and no care for British speedway survival.

don't hear NKI,Holder,Zagar,Batchelor,Harris to name a few complaining,they still support British speedway, I guess you don't see clearly he turned his back on British speedway and shouldn't of been picked for team GB in the World Cup. Not engines where they could go by people who looked like they were stopped

It's not a big dislike of tai, I think he is a awesome rider but not only me but many are very disappointed he couldn't fit his home country into his schedule as other GP riders have who don't even come from the UK,I feel he let British speedway down, the sport needed him to race here,he puts bums on seats, young fans who are the future of the sport seem to love him,think he was badly advised to turn his back on the UK. As his bikes, like I said his speed is beyond amazing. read my post to bwitcher then Just wondered have you raced ?

I can also tell you when I first started a well known rider had more than a 500cc engine he was using, as too your question adjust the ignition timing or how I got out of the gate well without spinning was a smaller sprocket on the front and in the tool box I had a sprocket conversion guide plus my previous gearing for every track. Any other questions ?

What curfew at Brandon ? Is it a new one and only for speedway ?

I don't think tai would of rode the same race but that's why it's a forum,people have different opinions. So you only have a link through someone you sat next too ffs Like I said been there done it, got the memories & scars and I don't need to give a surname as its my right not too.
