comet49 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Joking apart speedway must be one of the hardest sports to follow with injuries, doubling up and international commitment etc. I've gone off over hyped football a lot but at least teams have squad players to come in and fans don't have to be wondering if they'll have a team all week. I know squads & 6 man teams have been mentioned for speedway, squads especially seem unworkable with full time riders. The sport needs a good shake up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engines need pegging back imo, all these injuries are leaving a real nasty taste in the mouth... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comet49 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Are they really going any faster? Race times say they are notthe track record at DP is 62.7, in the 70s it was well over 70 secs. The track hasn't changed that much..I think the skill of the riders is a factor. That's a generalisation, not about any one incident.

BluPanther Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Are they really going any faster? Race times say they are not They have got faster, track records are still being broken. The main problem is the way they pick up drive and lift, although this could possibly be a combination of engine and the new silencers... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bikes do seem to have become more volatile since the new silencers were introduced. They may kill the noise but they also seem to kill the engine before it suddenly springs into life? When it's consistent power that's actually wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Isn't it to do with the higher revs the lay downs pull. So when they do hit a rut or patch of grip the front wheel goes skywards? Yes they may be going faster but surely it's not massive amounts. Maybe and extra 5 mph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtree123 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Robert Lambert was there yesterday, he was still suffering from his shoulder injury, but didn't want to let his team down, watched them unload the van which was witnessed by several people, walked in to the pits, to be ushered out saying they had got the reserve in an he was not riding. BIG LACK OF COMMUNICATION ON GEDS DALE CARL PART Peterborough Promotion Ged have got to come clean about all the mess ups he has caused with regards to Robert Sadly they will never own up to the truth, They are the ones that have messed up but young Robert gets the fingers pointed at him. Seems to me they make themselves look good......sod the rider they can take all the flak, think they can get away with it just cos hes 17 years old Sadly Young Robert get pulled over the coils for not saying anything, but when he does say something he is being slated again saying that he shouldn't of put a statement out, screwed what ever way he goes all his family are being treated unfairly by Peterborough Supporters But it was good to see him walking around mixing with the crowd, chatting to people, signing autographs, and having his picture taken with fans COME ON PETERBOROUGH PROMOTION TELL THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes they may be going faster but surely it's not massive amounts. Maybe and extra 5 mph? It's not so much the speed, it's the bucking bronco's they have become. A motorcycle has to be predictable to be safe, but that's not the case with speedway bikes in the last few years. Certainly never happened when i was riding at Mildenhall on a two valve Jawa in the last century.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) That's the thing with lay downs. All the power is at the top end. The uprights had lower revs and a better spread of torque so they wouldn't buck as much. Also most riders now use a short stroke instead of long stroke. Plus the riders are getting their butts back so early now to drive forward, again you didn't have to do it so much and so early.

Have a back bone Ged and tell the truth He needs to be careful unloading vans, it's dangerous and someone could get hurt. How come he isn't riding for Kings Lynn tonight then? So that's Peterborough, Kings Lynn and Robert himself say the same thing and we are to believe your story?
