Subedei 0 Posted May 1, 2005 There are some races you wish would last a few more laps and others you wish were over after a couple. Swings and roundabouts I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pudding 0 Posted May 1, 2005 Would certainly give us more action for our money <{POST_SNAPBACK}> exactly plus it would produce even better races , just think off racers like loram/screen etc with another lap or two , & surley the motors would have to be tuned to be more durable to last those extra laps and the extra weight added with more fuel needed should provide closer racing , it would not cost much to implement , every body wins dont they ?

SCB 0 Posted May 1, 2005 In the 1999 and 2000 Elite league, heat 15 was 6 laps, it did nothing, you just had 2 more laps of processional races as by that time most riders have settled down into a position because if a rider is going to pass someone he will have done it by then any way.

AndyM 1 Posted May 3, 2005 what about 3 laps then <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why change a winninng formula? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pudding 0 Posted May 4, 2005 Why change a winninng formula? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> because in my opinion its not a winninng or even a winning formula anymore , one of my mate's ( my sandracing mechanic ) recently attended his first speedway meeting & when i asked him what he thought he said there wasnt enough racing , and with other topics on here regarding improving racing with upright's / laydowns ,tuning cost's , adding weight's , riders insurance etc etc i just thought 6 lap races could solve some of these problems , hey it was just a idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you give the arse about the comments about being processional these races when the dudes are going for it are well worth the money i reckon...
