ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted February 13, 2018 17 minutes ago, Sings4Speedway said: Actually a very interesting point. With the addition of so many wind farms popping up everywhere what about the possibility of dual usage of the land? Given the gaps between these monsters surely a speedway track could be squeezed into one of these wind farms? (Obviously not the ones at sea). If teamed with electric bikes and electric bus/train/tram/monorail from the car park to the stadium it could be a giant leap into the future? Yes, definitely not the ones at sea,,, cos water and electric don't marry well together,,, Could maybe have fishing clubs there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattK 3,447 Posted February 13, 2018 This would be a perfect opportunity for a forward thinking promoter to partner with a bike manufacturer, come up with a design which has crossover appeal (therefore looks more like a dirt bike than a speedway bike) and promote a race series using standardised machinery.

yoda 81 Posted February 13, 2018 with the current bspa mc anything is possible. no doubt no testing will be done and they will go ahead and buy several bikes from the bspa funds . #soundsfamiliar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,935 Posted February 13, 2018 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.... http://www.bahnsporttechnik.de/body_electricbike.html http://www.electric-speedway.com/electric-motorbikes/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Shoe 58 Posted February 13, 2018 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.
