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 ,

Ronnie Moore MBE , Ivan Mauger OBE, Get on the BBC website and complain , I already have , lets see if we can get an apology

This is not the first time Judas has done this , and even when he has stuck with the team he chose he only rides when he feels like it , why does he keep getting tem places ? lets start a team Dean , offer him big money m then once all the other teams are complete , say we have had a better offer so goodbye

There was more involved in newports closing than the cost of the toll . something very very dodgy to do with the promotion and their transport business , i can't remember what it was ,but the pervert SCB knew what it was , and blamed I a member of these forums for colluding in the closure

Dissapointing to see young Jack left out , similar with Andy Mellish . with a team like like Colts being a second team . riders who are A , popular with the fans ,B, have some sort of local draw to put as many bums onseats as possible are needed to help bring people in , throughout the league there are riders left out who ,were I an NL promoter would be first on my shopping list , and others who have team places that I wouldn't give the time of day to .

I dont think anybody other than the BSPA wants it . not the fans not the the riders not the Nl promoters ,and if you are to create a league which is purely for the purpose of development , then you have to have a system where the developed riders can go afterwards and get a decent run at it . as it is the gap between NL and championship is too big ,and if you make the step up you will most likely be replaced within weeks by an untried foreigner

Lambert is not a very good example of the virtues of nl speedway . it's no secret that he and his family credit germany with his rapid rise to the top , and he did very few NL meetings anyway before jumping straight into the premiership , a better example would have been Craig Cook , or Chris Harris both spent a couple of full seasons in the third tier while making their way up

The same reason Thousands yes that's right thousands go out MX racing each and every weekend , because despite the costs which are equal to speedway , it's what they choose to do ,
