Recommended Posts

Egon was hailing it as the future.I remember being at an indoor speedway meeting in Denmark and he was interviewed saying he wanted Smoli to ride it in the meeting,but it was too powerful!!! Then the internet site announced the coming of the,i think,european electric speedway league and it died a death even quicker than the FIM Champions League thingmy.....

The site now appears to be dead and there is one for 'electricspeedway' with nothing on it now about speedway at all.Egon seems more interested in plugging his new cd and audio story of his life....

With the wind farm next to the Eddie Wright Raceway i can see Scunny becoming the centre of the universe of Electric Speedway.

I can't wait for the start of every race as the bikes line-up at the tapes and all you can hear is the sound of a hundred pairs of teeth munching pies, chips and peas then next lap as the bikes pass by you they are drowned out by the sound of a flock of starlings.

exactly the same as in meetings as there run today

the meeting will be abandoned

no power means no start or red stop lights

no floodlights

and no automatic tape release

and no pa systems

 

A was thinking, in more relation to the bikes,,, but as you factor in other things, it will be more problematic.

Can't argue with the facts and that was entertaining

i understood what you ment but i was just pointing out a power cut will stop a traditonal meeting just as easy as a futuristic electric 1

ive spoke to a few trials riders and watch them perform with electric trials bikes and i can only say i was very impressed

obviously speedway is slightly different as the lack of noise would play a big part in things

most people wont undersatand the actual power and torque of a electric motor  they are that powerfull they need geared down or soft start otherwise they could shear a solid shaft on start up
