Looks like Łódź could be on the calendar for next season, so which polish track will be dropped ? Google translate this żużlowego stadionu w Łodzi, a Orzeł Łódź już otrzymał propozycję organizacji na nim Grand Prix w 2019 roku! Promotorom cyklu Grand Prix można zarzucić wiele, ale nie to, że nie znają się na polityce i biznesie. Dziel i rządź, a konkretnie dziel i zarabiaj miliony – to hasło, którym Anglicy od lat kierują się w negocjacjach na temat organizacji rund GP w polskich miastach. W niedzielę w Łodzi otwarcie nowego stadionu. Orzeł w ramach meczu Nice 1. LŻ podejmie Zdunka Wybrzeże Gdańsk. Obiekt jest bardzo podobny do toruńskiej Motoareny. Ma tylko mniejszą pojemność trybun (ok. 10 tysięcy ). Promotor cyklu Grand Prix, brytyjska firma BSI, już skierowała do Orła ofertę, na organizację turnieju Grand Prix! Do tej pory w walce o organizację rund GP od 2019 roku były tylko Gorzów Wielkopolski i Wrocław. Jak się okazuje dla promotora to zbyt mała konkurencja. To jednak nie jedyny powód zwrócenia się z propozycją do łódzkich działaczy. Wiadomo bowiem, że potencjał stadionu w Łodzi jako pierwsi chcieli wykorzystać promotorzy mistrzostw Europy, którzy są największymi konkurentami Anglików.

A few years ago at i track I rode for we had some shale delivered that was rubbish and didn’t bind at all and made it’s terrible to ride so when we were prepping the track at 11pm the night before our next meeting the tractor accidentally knocked over the waste oil drum in the pits which rolled onto the track and continued to roll round the track untill it was completely empty,as much as we tried we just couldn’t stop it rolling the next day it rained in the morning and the track was a nice shade of blue and yellow but was nice to ride if not a little sticky -

Really enjoyed last night, thought the track was best it’s ever been and racing was good, atmosphere was really good, referee was dreadful even inconstant but it did add to the atomosphere, nicki p, lindgren and the ref getting loudly bood, hope Doyle is ok, overall a great night out, restored some passion back in british speedway for me, there were no classic bikes in the fanzone despite it being advertised which was a letdown for me as I have a passion for old bikes as do a lot of fans but on the whole loved it, also went to Somerset Friday and it too was a decent meeting but felt the crowd for the size was a bit flat but I don’t suppose the rain helped -

The product is a throttle that halves the turn on the bars, at the moment the throttle turns about 180 degrees this new one turns about 90degrees so basically becoming a on off switch and Greg is a master of throttle control as he was brought up old school -

not just the lower end,its lost the mid range too, the back wheel is spinning about 1500 revs faster than it was 20 years ago but the bike speed is still pretty much the same, the light flywheels in a short stroke engine just makes it rev, it not all the engine the silencer has reduced the usable power a bit more, the bikes are relatively easy to ride no matter what the size of the track and on a smooth surface they behave but as soon as there is a build up of dirt or a rut they just take off, now imagine the bike takes off and you have to scrub that wheel spin off before you hit the fence , on a track like belle vue you not so much broadsliding as steering a skid, you need the bike to be going forward all the time but on a smaller track you have to turn hard and you scrub a lot of speed off, on really tight tracks your almost going backwards mid turn, so do we really need extra wheelspin to go the same speed?, the product looks the same, many of the people I have spoken too have said we should never have gone from upright to laydown, even hans Nielsen and peter karlsson said it but we did and the first laydowns were great as they had the handling of the laydown chassis and the performance of the upright engines but as short strokes got more popular we are just getting further and further away from a good bike no matter how much they shine
