Leszno Gp 30th April 2011

Then you ought to be supporting the PZM, which, when all is said and done, runs speedway in Poland an awful lot better than the ACU does here, or the FIM globally.

The GKSZ and PZM are great. Hand over the whole sport to them, I say.

I have to say, i cant tell the difference in the sound of the silencers from last year to this...

you really are sound ridiculous now,you don't have a clue

 

Let me see, how many rules have been ignored in Poland this year? Compare that to what the ACU and SCB allow in Britain. First off, we have the 8-11 meeting rule being ignored in relation to Pawlicki, giving Coventry an advantage over other teams (incidentally, has anyone noticed how the "rolling averages" has worked out perfectly for the Bees - from allegedly being written to disadvantage the Bees, they now look to have been written to advance the Bees). Then we have Poole re-declaring an injured rider into their team. On top of that we have Birmingham granted a spurious facility for Kasprzak. Not to mention Edinburgh being allowed to drop assessed riders.

The BSPA chairman was called "almost criminal" by Avtar Sandhu; a comment that has never been publicly retracted.

The new silencers don't sound quite as bad as some were making out they would, but when you hear a bike with an old silencer on again there is no doubt it's far louder.

I've got a recording of a mate of mine on his Vincent outfit back in the day - you want noise?

Yeah that was evident when we were sitting in the stand at Gniezno on Sunday . There is no doubt that the Leszno track was slick on Saturday evening , and that riders were struggling to pick up any drive off the bends - especially where we were sat at the 4th bend .

It did throw up a pretty sterile GP , with little or no passing . Though i'm not convinced the silencers are to blame for that as i've seen plenty of decent racing this season already .

Cracking atmosphere outside the track before the meeting though , as we basked in the warm sunshine drinking beer and munching on the wonderful Polish sausages .

Polish bloke sitting next to us at the track would give us a nudge , and with a proud look on his face , told us every time " Tomek " made his entrance , you could see his chest swell up every time his holiness arrived on track .

Before the final however most Poles round about us were unsure whether the local hero , Jarek Hampel , or the " annointed one " would emerge victorious . At this point i turned to Bluejam and said " i'd piss myself laughing if Nicki Pedersen beat both of them " , and so it proved as the " evil one " flew round the outside from Gate 4 to cruise to victory .
