I don't want to get controversial - but I will. I think a big part of Speedway's problems started with the Laydown Engines, and the 4-Valve bikes used in the 70's. It started the free for all with the Engine Tuners. Spiralling costs due to Engine Tuning etc. contributed to increasing the price at the gate, thus taking the Sport out of reach of very many people. Costs became prohibitive crowds grew smaller and smaller. This is where we find ourselves now. There is no doubt in my mind that the old 2-Valve was cheaper to run, safer for the riders, and no real advancement has been shown on the Track. The 2-Valve may have been fractions slower but, what we gained in speed, we also gained in injuries. Tracks built for Speedway nowadays can't cope with the the new 'rocket ships' that riders are using at the moment, hence the big increase in injuries. Tracks haven't changed much since 1928 - but the bikes have. THAT to me is a problem also. I don't believe that the GP System has done British Speedway any good either. Personally, I much preferred the old 'one off' World Final.

SGP Challenge line up:

Doyle has crashed in Rybnik- on his way to hospital.

Miracle recovery from Nicolai Klindt today in Rybnik winning his first 2 races must have flown over Lourdes on his way ✝️

Although he once decided the track needed extra moisture prior to a meeting and reportedly took a water bowser onto the track at the Cowley stadium but heavily overwatered it, leaving the circuit completely unrideable and forcing the meeting to be abandoned.

Rushen is available for this one so of course they won’t! They’ll give this one every chance.

Or last Thursday....

These VK links have always been free.

No.

Sorry for the late arrival, but do we have to pay using this link now. I used to be able to get on it for free?

Just randomly came across this on Twitter/X. Superb 👏🏻

Yes i have picked up on others over the years.

... and why haven't the Poles got words for "Man of the Match"? Listening to the commentator jabbering away in Polish and then all of a sudden I hear them say "Man of the Match" 😂

What throttled off

It will be off.

Something up with your hearing. Hear ye

... or yesterday 😂

Loktaev doesn't look very happy 😂

That's maybe where im going wrong. I count 5 then without the KOC meetings.

I reckoned yesterdays meeting completed his 3 home 3 away, KOC meetings don't count I believe.

Forecast is for rain later in the day so if they are consistent then they will call this one tomorrow morning if not sooner.

The stats reckon only 5 so far.

I don't know how that works. The 2 minute timer is there for a reason. If he can get to the pits and return within 2 minutes, then fair game.
