THE DEAN MACHINE

to be honest I would be surprised if any national league rider would even hit the limiter on a British track , the only time the top riders may hit the limiter at 12000 is at the start and on most British tracks not that much Rev is needed to get out the stsrt yes of course it is 🙄

it has been tried , as I said if a rider thinks it works for them then use it but don't force it everybody , the answer is a complete new engine idea , if the actual engine wasn't so awful on speedway the f2 idea would be perfect. I still believe the answer is jawa , the cost , the capacity to build enough and the know how , it just needs someone to grow some balls and tell them what to make and enforce it through using holomagated parts

so Peter John's is going to tell all his customers if they fit a limiter they don't need to bring their engines in every 40 or so races they will then do 90 races , like hell he will , so where is the saving ? , not very often I agree with rob Godfrey but I do on this , it will achieve nothing , if a rider feels like it's a worthwhile benifit then they can fit one , doesn't need another pointless product being forced in, all this is just another example of the speedway disease , papering over the ever widening cracks

Phillipsr ,on the question of who would be buying the engines for the GP ? Well as it is now domestic speedway is paying for the engines for riders to use for their own and bsi gain and where is the return for domestic speedway ?

that is pretty much what I've been banging on about for a couple of years now but nobody will listen ,the sport is run by the mechanical side and untill this is changed will we only go one route and that's not the route the fans want , I have been around bikes all my life , I have practically lived in a workshop for 30years and still own 7 bikes I am a real methonal head and I still say the engine doesn't matter to speedway fans

on the first point why not only allow long stoke with heavy flywheels then not only would you bring revs down but would make the bikes predictable again and the 2nd point , either way the end result is putting riders in danger

Why not reduce the current engines back to 2 valve heads , you would reduce the revs by nature and the costs of valves and springs would be halved i am a mechanic and it's very few idiots who Rev engines to much in the pits

so as I said if it's set way above what is needed what's the point of it being there ?

if the engine doesn't hit the limiter during a race what's the point of the limiter ?yes John's does but we are talking peanuts in money saving , every rider should know the importance of a clean air filter and yes there are mechanics who Rev the engines in the pits but we are talking hardly a difference in cost , gerhard , kelvin and Peter are all good at their job which is to be the fastest but as a way forward for the sport they seem ignorant and single minded that the problem speedway is not a motor sport , it's a team sport on motorbikes

fine , bury your head in the sand as usual , Peter John's and the like are driving this sport to oblivion , you can see it , everyone can see it , we are living it but still it goes on , maybe the sport deserves to die , you would think so the way that the influenceial people treat it, speedway is not f1 not even a poor mans f1 , never has been never will be ,the majority of fans both current and ex don't give a damm about engines or their tuners , all the sport needs is a cheap reliable engine that can't be tuned/ messed about with , enforced through holomagation of parts and strict rules , everything else is plastering over the huge hole we have dug for ourselves

Just reading the piece in the speedway star about the Rev limiters , a couple of points , setting the limit above 10,000 revs isn't going to make a dent in service costs and to set it lower is dangerous to the riders and all these "experts" keep ignoring the fact that all motorsports use the same principle 100% traction from rear wheel onto the ground but speedway is completely the opposite , it requires the exact opposite way of thinking to ride , the clue is in the fact that a tyre lasts 5 mins , it is stupid to any engineer to have a single cylinder engine Reving at over 10,000 and only producing 65 mph but that's speedway and these so called "experts " should know better

you need to get canal+ tv ,Sunday on polish tv does put our sport in the shade

which is still loads more than the majority of sports in this country , how many people attend tennis , cricket athletics on a weekly basis ?

more to the point where did it go ? Because to me it sounds very close to the point of blackmail

Adam skornicki is availible and you will not find a more likeable or committed rider

not sure if you watched many leszno meetings last year but he was one bright light in an otherwise dismal season , they regularly dropped pedersen and kildermand instead of musielak

Call me cynical but Nicki pedersen had been rumoured to be on his way out of leszno cause basically they wanted the Nicki of old not the loved up one they got last season, he has posted on his social media that he had been in Poland having meetings with other teams , then out of the blue him and barbie announce they have split up cause "they couldn't make it work" , roll on a couple of weeks and again out of the blue leszno resign him for this season and the very next day surprise surprise him and barbie are back together

David Gordon has in his head an issue rightly or wrongly over paying the rent but he didn't have an issue with the riders so why were they not paid on time if at all ? Even the national league riders were owed money ,

I've also rode a couple of meetings for middlo and stayed his place when mechanicing for other riders , the big difference between him and Adams is middlo is like one of the lads where Adams most defiantly isn't I prefer middlo as a team manager but I think Adams is better at it . Jack lee is a very good TM but has mainly played his trade at the lower levels but was good at bham and Sheffield . If you have team riders like Sam Ermolenko or Jason crump you don't really need a TM

I've rode for Pete Adams and I just don't get him , I know he is arguably the best but I just don't know why , I got more motivation from a good captain ,

i won't say the obvious response

Why don't Manchester City council become the promotors ? Employ a speedway manager person to addresss the speedway side of things , then whatever comes through the turnstiles goes into MCCs account , they pay the riders and whoever but at least they will get their rent and if there is any profit to be made they will be the ones to make it and councils have no problem getting company's to sponsor projects , (you know the old you scratch my back ) you never know if they did make it pay other councils would want in on the act and once other councils started to make it pay the government would want in on it , then there would be no more noise issues and speedway would be back at the top of the sporting world or I am getting a little ahead on myself

it is the best in the uk but you said in the world and it isn't, I hope it works out for whoever takes it on , we don't need anymore headlines like the one we have had lately , check out tarnow's new stadium

I think Torun was £7m , the thing is about those 2 stadiums is they give you goosebumps even when they are empty

track is excellent but as a venue it's not even in the same league as Torun or gorzow
