All Activity

Absolute joke 3weeks time,Poole manage to re arrange for the next week and Redcar can’t be bothered and go 3 weeks later pathetic !!!

In all fairness You can't punish a man for not turning up until he hasn't turned up. So until the meeting is over he could turn up & if he doe's is a punishment applicable & if he fails to show then the punishment can be applied after the event

An inch difference in the bedroom also makes a hell of a difference too let me tell you.satisfaction is the key.

Rearranged for Sunday 5th October at 6pm

With the exception of Fricke there are substantive arguments against everyone else. All the other GP riders were simply mediocre. Nobody could be said to be unlucky in the Challenge. The SEC will give us Dudek (either as winner or 4th wildcard - all his closest competitors are already in), there are no consistently impressive performers in the major leagues that haven't already been accounted for. And that just leaves Emil and Artem. Assuming we don't expect a 5th Pole the best candidates are: Highest ranked rider in 2025 GP series not already qualified: Mikkel Michelsen [or Doyle if you take account of his missed GP] Highest averaged rider in Ekstraliga: Michelsen again Highest averaged rider in Elitserien: Ryan Douglas Highest averaged rider in Premiership: Douglas again [or Doyle if you include KO Cup matches] So based on results it has to be Michelsen and Doyle or Douglas - but I suspect commercial considerations will override the evidence.

More speed at the end of the straight can be achieved with something as simple as smaller sprockets, the more teeth you take off the further the bike goes in a straight line before it hits its maximum speed but it’s a fine balance because the compromise in that is it takes longer to get to that optimum speed and the straights are short, a bigger sprocket will help you get out the start but that’s no good if half way down the straight the engine has maxed out, think of gearing like the gearbox in your car, 1st gear will always pull away faster than 3rd but it will run out of speed at 100yards and 3rd takes over to take it to next level of speed, one other thing that zmarzlik does which no other rider does is sit at the back of his seat entering the corner, everyone else sits at the front, back in the 80s Bruce penhall had his engine plates especially made so the engine was an inch further back in the frame thus moving the engine weight further towards the back wheel, an inch may sound nothing but in speedway every slight change can make the difference

What ever the sport, you go into a competition knowing the rules and the parameters. Whether they are seen to be right or wrong by some is irrelevant. The biggest disappointment for me is the general preparation and state of the tracks, they have been terrible and almost gate and go. Well done to BZ but Brady conducted himself well as a human being let alone as a sportsman. The record books will show BZ as equalling winning the most world titles, if he wins one more then he will be the GOAT,

No better than the rest of the field

He has too turn left at the end of the straight though,which the rest can’t do .!!

and its OFF.

Any news for the Ribbon event on the Saturday

The trouble is the top 2 (especially this season) are so so so far ahead of the rest, 2 clear GP wins, that somebody, other than BK, heading BZ in the final was always going to be unlikely. A lot of riders need to take a long hard look at themselves over the winter, many of them seem far too comfortable to earn the big coin over in Poland and treat the GP's like a lot of them treat the UK as pocket money. Has the World Championship run it's course? It's no longer the biggest show in town, akin to International Football vs Champions or Premier League Football.

Met office has heavy rain 4-7pm. Tuesday looks ok at Poole, potentially raining from 9pm.

Well I've looked at a couple of weather forecasts (Inc met office) and they seem to be not too bad, not that much rain to come and pretty much all over by 7:00pm. Not sure I would be prepared to make the journey on the strength of the evidence but at this very moment I'm optimistic that racing will go ahead. P.S Tuesday in Poole not looking so good.

🤨

Not good , get well soon

He is great to watch, however, most of his passes are down the straights using phenomenal straight line speed... Meaning he has a proper "rocket ship" under him, as skill alone wouldn't generate such straight line speed that is so much quicker than everyone else... All top iders have top notch fast machinery, and all can gate too (it's a fallacy that the likes of Bewley and Sayfutdinov cannot, as it they couldn't, they simply wouldn't be top riders)... A decent GP season, for once, as it went literally to the wire, with the only negative being the appalling track soakings that a certain someone seems to think enhances the racing... It definitely doesn't ..

....and always at weekends?

I presume banger racing and stocks are always at weekends or occasional Bank Holidays?

No my point is that Kurtz's plan ( fair play to him I have no issue with him ) was to gate scarper off try and build up enough of a lead while BZ who was dead last in a least three of the last five finals fights his way to the front . I take nothing away from Kurtz ,Hancock won his last two titles that way I do however remember how people moaned it was boring something never said about BZ ! The big problem if there is one for s/way is BZ only thirty years old IMO has another five yrs ( barring injury ) riding at the level he is now.Might even get better who knows I certainly think there are more titles ,I could watch him winning them all day long personally because of the manner and skill which he demonstates as he goes about his business .

Thanks to London Racer the winners prize donation will be winging it’s way to the Ben fund this coming week. i will carry on my goal of seeing everyone skint long before the final round lol

As a result of Thursday night, I am absolutely delighted that Zmarzlik is the World Champ.

Only one season for the depression to set in 😂

Try Jan Steachman. He has a business that reproduces old footage from cine film, VHS & DVD to a new version
