Only time will tell . I dont really expect them to be in use much longer than april 2020 , first time somebody crashes because the limiter kicks in mid turn , or the misfiring leads to bore wash ,or worse still hydraulic lock that smashes the conrod , these things are history . lets just hope when the crash happens nobody gets seriously hurt . IMO theres no comparison between speedway and any other form of motorcycle racing . reducing the revs at the start will lead to problems of flipping people off as well ,

there is a rule that ignition must be from a single source and static , rev limiter could fall into that category , about 3 years back Martin smolinski had a Polish button fitted , (advances the ignition ) and Holder and another whining aussie reported him for cheating , several of the Poles had been using them for a while unnoticed ,remember those blasts around the fence from Gollob and everybody wondering where the extra speed came from !!

very much doubt it , rev limiters work ok with petrol and on tarmac , methanol is whole different ball game , and riding on a loose surface where a consistent level of spin means you can safely steer . how many times have you seen riders with the front wheel off the floor mid turn , yanking on the throttle to get the back wheel spinning and the front wheel back down , try doing that when a rev limiter kicks in !!

tuners of course ,££££££££££££££££,. care to name any riders Or in fact any ex riders who are in favour ?

the best way to limit revs is with your right hand , if you get that right you become a great rider like hans neilsen , I saw him break a couple of track records never heard his engines screaming for mercy at any time though . on the slick or knee deep in dirt

so were positive cutouts . solid block tyres and carb throat restrictors . how long did any of those compulsory items last ? . I'm guessing from your eagerness to promote them ,Briggs is involved somewwhere along the way ,

Just the same as the positive killswitch , solid block tyres , carb restrictors , foisted on the riders untested ,by people who don't have a clue about the effect , all things brought about with little or no thought , and all things that got dumped after somebody else had the expense of buying them , I forgot to say , the GP riders don't bother testing them because they have no intention of ever using them .

not many hold them full on , half to 3/4 then let the clutch out and give it full throttle , when taters was the worlds best gater he used to say a fast start happens in the first 3 yards by feathering the clutch and throttle to make it grip , full throttle from the start will just help to dig a hole .

We'll see how many are in favour when they have to start using them , my guess is it will be the people who make or sell them that will be all for them and nobody else , the FIMs knowledge of speedway could be written on a postage stamp , and the fact that you suggest the working party thinks that the operation of a speedway bikes engine can be lumped in with other forms of motorcycle sport is a more than adeqaute demonstration of that . imposing a potentially dangerous piece of equipment without proper testing or approval from the people who have to use it is another one ,

if its not going to kick in other than the start , ( most are not even revving full out at the start anyway ) hows it going to save any engine wear ,. Unban titanium which gains extra power by allowing higher revs but costs the earth , then bring in a new untried piece of clobber (no doubt another expensive piece of junk ) to prevent what you assisted by un banning titanium .. somethings stinks here . can't wait to see who's behind this money maker

one mans loss is another mans gain , I'm sure the flat trackers will grasp the opportunity , handed to them by the BSPA

Problem with that is " They " just follow you ,to whatever thread you choose . start slinging opersonal abuse and when they get some back try to be the victim .

I said £20 a meeting ,

Jason pipe taking somebody elses idea and making it look amateuristic , now theres a surprise !

I can't add up . just like you are unable to see the point I was making

not available or bike not running is the best way for whitmore to score points . at least it gives some of the youngsters a few extra rides .maybe not a bad plan

no it leaves the team 3.5 under . half on the total alllowances total .and whitmores 3 = 3.5 points they definitely won't be getting

It's Penhall , and I agree looking like Mickey the Monkey from the Gyppo camp , may be a factor .

Depends on whether you view Ivan as a sppedway rider or 7 times world champion sportsman , for me he was both but the undeniable fact is he was a great sportsman abd as such should have have a mention on a program which is based ,,supposedly on sporting achievement . Myself i complained to the BBC Online ,didn't even warrant an auto response

anodise is only microns thick , it wont cover the old shale rash . powder is not much thicker but it covers rough stuff better and it tougher

whats the title Mark

you need an adaptor for the dial guage . and its rather too complex an operation to explain by text .better off to go to a track and ask if theres anyone who can show you , you definitiely need to get it right to get you in the ballpark , because if you dont ,it either wont start or it will chuck that much fuel in it will wash the bore and sieze

should be prepared to take £20 a meeting more like , £20 a point for a scratcher like Halder that means max Clegg would get more over 2 grand a meeting paid out in points money ,

Halder is at Lesta I think

newprt had a great shaped track for racing .but the surface was always poor ,slick and potholed ,nice stand which sadly was never properly comlpleted , decent changing rooms and rerasonable pits , one of the problems with it was Tim Stone himself . heart 100% in speedway ,but an utter meglomaniac , we used to go to southern track events there that dragged on for hours and hours ,because he wouldn't let anyone help him , instead of letting somebody drive the water truck while he graded he had to do both . and every 4 heats , in a meeting that has 60 heats that's a very long time , I have heard only second hand mind ,that he pissed off sponsors because he was a little arrogant , having said that . a bloke who is prepared to collect supermarket trollies and put the money into his speedway team , maybe he had felt he had a right to say his piece ,
