Blazeaway Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 So if laydowns can be used in grass track why is it an issue for speedway riders to be riding laydowns in 'tricky' conditions? I'm not trying to catch anyone out, I'm just trying to understand. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think its probably something to do with how the power is distributed/centre of gravity.

21st century heathen Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I mean it's been suggested that laydowns are suited to smooth/slick surfaces, and don't give the control needed for the grippy/heavy/tricky surfaces. However they are used in grasstrack. Although I know nothing about grasstrack, I do know you wouldn't describe it as smooth/slick. Does the suspension make all the difference? Is the laydowns v uprights just an excuse used by some riders that can't handle a 'proper' track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 have you ever had a go in a go-kart? if so, think how bumpy it was on the track ... then think what it might have been like going round the track in a car with suspension. there's your difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemma Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 have you ever had a go in a go-kart? if so, think how bumpy it was on the track ... then think what it might have been like going round the track in a car with suspension. there's your difference <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So basically then if we want to see racing on anything other than perfect tracks and with laydown engines, we need to have speedway bikes with suspensions?

T.N.T. Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Presumably a few riders had already made travel arrangements to get them to Poland for tomorrow's fixtures there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As the meeting drew on into the night,fixtures in Poland needed to be met and the pay in Poland by far out does the pay in the ELRC when is this meeting replayed? Who cares??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whor rides more likley . . . how many changes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
