I wonder where Swindon and Berwick feature in this speed list (of course average speed doesn't mean the highest peak speed i.e. at the end of the straight)?

I've seen Batch practicing at Lynn, so the track wasn't grippy like a race night and I think he hit 68 if me memory serves me correct, so at 70+ on a race night The thing I noticed was how much the bike slows down when in the turns. Must take it out of the riders holding on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough 336m and 50.88 average speed And is the 2nd fastest track in the country apart from Sheffield 54.66 ave speed. I know fast don't mean good racing btw.. I wouldn't have replied, but the Panthers along side Ippo are the enemy in 2019 Surely Belle Vue has to be the quickest track now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not listed, but if you have the length and the track record, it could be worked out. If 347 m and 58.2 are correct, its 53.36 Edited November 19, 2018 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 A speed gun situated at the end of a straight on a track would be an interesting addition to speedway, a bit like they have for skiers. Not all the time as it would get boring but now and then. Surely can't be that hard? Big screen at the track I think would have the biggest opportunity to improve fans interaction but a speed gun could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to invade Ippo's thread, but people seemed interested. Not us Ipswich fans I see, so can you kindly take your “average speed” convo elsewhere. Ta.

old bob at herne bay Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Sounds like Buster is bringing in some cash ££ to keep the P ship off the rocks and Ipswich are a convenient choice for Buster. MAybe KL will loan some of their riders to give Witches a chance of some success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
