It was that quick at acceleration to the straights it nearly always went wide in the corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted Tuesday at 01:20 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:20 PM (edited) Can reccomend this, when I was way younger my Dad took fishing to Filey, North Yorkshire, this woulda bin late 1970's / early 1980's ?, & I was delighted to discover sand racing was taking place - who knew ? I had just got into speedway a few previous & recall there were different classes: grass / sand track bikes, Moto-X, sidecars, diff engine capacities, etc. Recall one guy seemed to be in almost every race, we watched him & his just re-fuelled & went straight again. Speaking to him afterwards he told us he rode a 250 so could compete in many more classes (250, 350, 500, unimited, etc) so more skids for his buck. One last thing: we know how a speedway track changes so rides different as a meet progresses (dries out, dirt moves, etc) well the Filey track actually changed shape as the tide came in, from a 'Belle Vue shape', towards to the end was a long 'sausage-shaped track', imagine, say, IOW's straights with Lakeside's bends. But, yeh, a good day out, reccomended. FOC too.... Edited Tuesday at 02:04 PM by martinmauger date, (lack of) cost info added 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
