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 😂

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?
