Good luck to whoever signs him.After all he needs to be here for his son.

Happy new year to all Lynn and speedway fans in general.

I've been to a fair few banger meetings at Lynn.The crowd varies a lot.A run of the mill meeting in cold weather may attract 1000-1500.A bigger event like a world final and the place is packed 4,000 or so.Theres a lot of " Finals" and "championship" meetings in bangers that see a good 2-3000 attend in good weather.. As far as I know the race/meeting winners get a trophy and pay to race.A mate of mine used to race bangers.They put a lot of time and effort and some spend a bit of money as well to prepare a banger.My mate would pay about £100-£200 for the car.Spend a whole weekend getting it ready to race inc altering the suspension,welding the car up to make it tough at the front(illegal i think).He used to race a lot of Honda's.So he had a lightened flywheel,changed cams etc,all illegal,just to get a win. The car might last 1 meeting.Meeting last from 4-6 hours.Not been for a few years,if I remember entry was between 10 and 15 quid.Compared to speedway,these a lot of action for your money.

Probably because the modern engines rev so high,with peak power high up in the rev range.When these modern bikes hit a bit of of extra grip,it kills off the revs a bit and the bike grips hard and takes off. So in general the tracks have less shale than they use to to make these modern bikes easier to control,less grip in general = slower times,up to a point. However as we saw in the Lynn v Poole meeting on "that" night if a rider attacks a grippy track,the race times are faster than on a slick track.. A lot of riders want a smooth consistant ride over a 'tighten their bum cheek ride' on a really grippy track these days.

I'd have Sarj in my team on a 2.6.Would be the best No.7 in the league.Agree I think he will double that with the new rules.
-
Was once just a speedway stadium only.If my grey matter serves me correct.
-
The same was said about KK,but not by you. Holder has done Poole proud in the past,but after injuries and Ward and his attitude to British speedway,i don't think you can go by the past that much.
-
He will be ok i think.Pretty sure he will be proud to where the countries race jacket.

Come on Stars fans..I'm sure Lynn will field a competitive team in 2018. With Mr Brundle on board i can only see Buster putting out a strong team.Robin has vast experience and would of wanted assurances that things will change in 2018.Otherwise why waste his time. Lets cheer up and look farward to 2018, and finding out the team in Jan.It's not long now !! Happy Christmas to all fans and get well soon Starman
-
Good to see the world champ in British speedway in 2018.Nice little Christmas pressie for the Somerset fans.
-
Houses in the pits.I hope it works out for the Robins.We don't need anymore closures One league in 2019
-
And went well....S*atch and Folder.Separated at birth.
-
It's not how you start is how/who you finish with.Still think that who finishes top wins the league.Maybe 2nd and 3rd have a trophy to ride for over 2 legs.
-
In this league I think Eddie will up his average by at least a point with Rye has his home track.

2.56 would be a bargain.
-
I didn't realise it was 90 years It's always good to hear something positive from your club .
-
Would rather MPT on a 5.57 myself.We shall see.
-
All the best to CVS.I'm sure all speedway fans will want to do the same.
-
Jack is on a bargain ave,but he thinks of himself and has an attitude,probably to British speedway.Because both Holders wouldn't act the way they have to their UK promotors to thier Polish ones.
-
I agree.The ambitious teams will make a change or 2.Maybe Swindon,Poole,Wolves.Early days is not so important.Thats what I was thinking when I made the comment.
-
But you could do
-
But look what happened last year
-
Looks like that's the case.I can't see any club paying £25k for him as mentioned elsewhere.I doubt he has many years left over here and I don't think he's a rider that will still be riding into his late 30's.
-
Fits nicely.MPT would be in the top 5.Allen would start at 6.
