The White Knight Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 The only thing that you can be certain of is that they will change the Rules - - - AGAIN!!! On the other hand - they might do something sensible and get rid of Double P{oints. :approve: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I believe buster has the balls for radical change and a way forward however he has to convince all the promotors of his vision and it won't be an instant reward fix and I believe they would kick him out before going for his ideas 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the Honda experiment at Sheffield a few years back?

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Whatever the machinery solution is it must have big flywheels cause the nature of speedway requires them and neither the Honda experiments or the current f2 idea has them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is an agenda that is currently circulating. By an large agenda's aren't particularly revealing so even if we could see it I doubt we'd feel much better informed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly I think pushing the use of converted averages as prepared by SCB would result in equitable and transparent team building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if would be difficult to police, but I suppose they could then bring in even more exotic materials, to make them smaller, but heavier..

I assume that a capacity limit is in place, so how is it enforced? I know there have always been "trick" engines in bike racing and as a result, at the higher levels of the sport, dyno testing, sealing of motors and if necessary strip down have become almost routine. Sorry for my ignorance about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
