I ignore all posters on this site , I am very happy .

In the last could of years I’ve been racing a 1952 jap 4b in a 2 valve Jawa chassis and it’s an animal to ride, it maxes out about 6000 revs and because I come from a latter era( last of upright/laydown)it took some getting used to but you just can’t hold it flat out going into a turn because it just wants to go straight on, infact the first time I rode it, I just thought how different can it be and in the air fence I went😂today’s riders are peaking the engine at the end of the straight but instead of blipping the throttle to get into the corner they just holding it open, that bit is pretty much where speedway is actually faster today, they rest is the same

If you look at races from the late 70's riders seemed to be reaching the maximum speed of their machines towards the end of the straight if you look at them today they look as though they'd just keep on accelerating way beyond that.

I actually did volunteer a while back, as is the Speedway way... I was just ignored 😂

Neville tatum

Kings Lynn season is riding on whether young Rushen can keep fit. Unlikely to be the last injuring he suffers the way he rides. much rain in Lynn today?

Hampel is a strange one for me, seen some exceptional overtakes from him at League & GP level. If Hampel is included then Hancock would be also wouldn’t he?? For me, the biggest gating slag I'd ever seen was Adam Allott around King's Lynn. Never seen anyone like it.

What a surprise lol

Fraser Bowes has posted that he hopes to be back on Wednesday.

They are quite right to decline after the last 2 Saturday debacles, thought there would have been a Monday debrief on the website about changing the weather apps they use 😂😂😂

Regulate the engines to max 10,000 revs is the answer but don’t do it by just putting the rev limiter set at 10,000, it needs to be so the engines won’t get up to 10,000 revs, limit cam lift to 10mm,maybe smaller inlet ports or a 2 valve head which isn’t actually that costly, sealed engines could work with cooperation on all sides but only to ensure only homolgated parts can be used, no 2 riders have same engine characteristics so a standard one size fits all wouldn’t work, gearing also wouldn’t work because although they may use a similar ratio they all use different configurations to achieve it, if you look at someone like MJJ he uses really small back sprockets probably in high 40s but will be using 13 on countershaft to achieve it but it will still be same ratio as others or alternatively chuck a load of dirt on every track and tell the riders to man the f up and get on with it, they will soon plum for softer engines

You sure he was going to be riding this evening?

Not a fan of him kicking out at Bartosz like that in the GP

Horse power. Farmers used them years ago on the land.

Correct, we both mean the same thing, it's 2 fold. Rider's & engineers are constantly looking for more power & speed. While at the same time, rider's want less & less dirt & water on tracks, in the name of "safety". Both are counteractive hence the lack of broken track records. In fact, most races are now 2-4 seconds slower than 15-20 years ago. If seeled engines are not an option, the FIM could introduce a rear sprocket regulation, max of 57-58 teeth. This would force riders & tuners to look for torque rather than horse power, this would make bike that more adaptable for all conditions.

And me too.

I’ve got a decent alarm clock if they need waking up.

Rushen rested, Charlie Southwick rides.

I could join the crew if voted in

Is there a problem then?

Well volunteered

While disappointing that Dan Thompson and Tom Brennan aren't in the draw proper, it is absolutely correct that the British Final finishing order is used for GB nominations.

I'll respectfully disagree, if they're good enough, should've finished ahead of Harris in the British final. Glasgow promotion will likely be pleased. You could argue Robert Lambert is the one "taking opportunities away" as he's almost guaranteed a wildcard if he doesn't finish in the GPs top 6! But he earned the right to choose.

Making a rearranged meeting on that night a no-go. The previous week (next Saturday) was offered to both Scunthorpe and Redcar -- both declined. Week after is Belle Vue GP. Roll on June 13th!

Correct British final places decided the qualifiers.
