The cylinder head is a different shape due to the valves being larger. There are both laydown and upright engines, using the same crank cases as the four valve Jawa version. One of the two valve iceracing engines was being used in an upright grasstrack class quite recently. The laydown engines are not as popular in iceracing, but they will fit directly into the frames that are currently used in speedway

2 valve Jawas are used in ice racing, so they do exist

Woffinden may need the GB wildcard

Sensible ride by Zmarzlik in the final to extend his Championship lead.

Hard to tell now, who is not trying and who is fixing their averages I guess.

There have been cases where a rider has been excluded by the referee for not making an attempt to race.

Minimum 77 kgs is for the whole bike

Something must of changed, Dan Bewley rode in the French league on the 19th of February.

Is this the same Wolves and CVS that was widely quoted as saying they wouldn't compete in a six team league. Yet here we are again same old same old

Promoters egos ?

You missed one, no promoters

The whole idea of SON was to allow a lesser nation the chance to win, it works

IF this is correct why hasn't it been disclosed, why keep it secret

I'm more confused after reading this thread than I was before

I would be more worried about Birmingham, if they close, hopefully they won't, which of the premier clubs will jump first to take their spot

A bigger league will only benefit 5 promoters of which he is one. Self-interest above everything, it is why speedway is where it is.

Oxford would be better off following the isle of Wight style of meetings, it has to be better than the BSPL

Bewley not really doing himself any favours tonight at Sheffield, three last places.

No tactical substitutes in semi finals I thought

Not been much in the way of quality to beat. A comparison of Lambert and Bewley on Polish form would be better. Plus home track knowledge will count for nothing, once fireman Phil has had his hands on the track

If you want TV to help the sport it should be a 15 minute highlight programme. The TV could still show the "best race of the meeting" from four different angles, but the potential punters wouldn't be aware it takes over two hours to run.

Thousands of ex supporters won't pay £20 to watch anymore why should Sky

Some good races on a well prepared track, the future seems to be bright for Germany and Latvia. The UK need to get their youngsters abroad, the promotors refusing to release riders from pointless league meetings is stifling the talent.

So the promoters decided the qualifying meetings don't matter, more fool anybody who paid to watch the worthless league.
