Wish This Happened On Roundabouts In My Town
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to speedibee's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
you can't even start a bike in this county without someone complaining , the pole who I mechaniced for has his own track the back of his house and nobody cares and they have bbq's at frozen lakes in the winter and make tracks on them -

even so this is typical of Poland and one thing it shows is how far stuck up our own backside with health and safety we are in Britain -

god I love Poland -
the bookies would have picked that up , they know where speedway betting will come from and how bets will be made , try to put a large bet on Harris to be world champ with online bookies and your betting will be vetted , so if ting tong from ping pong suddenly bets £10000 on iversen to score less than 5 , alarm bells would be raised
-
he beat pedersen King and Harris and fell in another while 3rd not quite a hampered performance on a small track where power isn't King and surely he used more than one bike , he also has a poor performance in Warsaw , similar track to cardiff
-
I think slower than 3 points at GP level
-
it would only hinder fuel flow on direct injection fuel system , speedway uses carbs so the tank fills the float chamber , a float chamber is enough to run a bike for 1/2 lap with fuel supply completely cut off , so even a reduced flow would still fill the float chamber faster than the engine can use it , so imo the sponge was used for fuel additive or water depending on who put it in and also iversen would of noticed the bike hesitating if it was fuel starvation , water in fuel would just make it feel slow
-
yes water would be OK to slow a bike down without engine damage , what I want to know is who found these sponges at Coventry , his team or the machine examiner ? , if it was the latter then the "I don't know how they got in there" sounds like the plea of a guilty man but if it was his team then it's got to be sabatage in some way
-
Sponge is also an amateur and crude way of getting additive (nitro or similar) into the fuel system when the fuel is supplied by a regulated source
-
would it though ? In a direct injection system yes but speedway bikes uses carbs and the engine is fed by the fuel in float bowl which will do half a lap before it runs out even when no fuel is turned on so even reduced flow would still fill the float chamber quicker than it was used , also fuel starvation would cause a misfire rather than reduced speed
-
the problem is speedways problem , the tuning is becoming more and more vital so a racer no longer just have to have talent he has to have the right engine which is doing speedway no favours but it's not going to change anytime soon

he made good fishing equipment

Great meeting , really enjoyed it but I still think ticket prices are too high , anything below the top level are up to £100 each , I have just brought 2 tickets for gorzow GP for £57 and they are not the cheapest and if you get them earlier they cheaper than that , also as my lad is disabled we had to get tickets in the wheel chair part but they only had 1 seat space left for me or the Mrs so we got the Mrs the seat £48 and I had to get a seat 2 blocks away which was £63 , when we got in to the stadium we found the disabled wheelchair part gave the steward our tickets and she said there was plenty of space for me and I could sit with them which I did so basically I paid £15 extra than I needed to and to be honest the disabled area is not the best view as your low down so riders dissapear below the fence level as the come into bend

I wish I had achieved as much as Chris Harris in my career

Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
on a national scale woofy is very popular however in the Wolverhampton area it not hard to find people who don't like him, nothing to do with his personality or if he is british or not ,simply because wolves fans are passionate about their team and some feel he betrayed or let them down them in his last year he rode for wolves when clearly he didn't want to be there -

Should Ex Riders Get Into Speedway Free?
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Grachan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I am one who has received a pass from Berwick , I consider it a great gesture from the club for my time there , I will be making a trip up to Berwick(260 miles) this year with my family so Berwick will be getting 2 extra paying people for a meeting by letting me in free , I think it should be up to the promotors to decide who if anybody gets a pass but I can only see benifit from doing it as described above , I don't have a problem with paying to get in to watch speedway , I get in free at a couple of other tracks although I do pay at another even though I am allowed in free , on the Berwick offer , how many will actually take up the offer ? 10% ? , it will cost the promotion nothing but they will gain if that rider brings friends and family along , maybe the Bspa could make a limit of say 25 league meetings qualify' for a pass and at least then you know if you are allowed or not , I'm not really bothered if I got a pass or not I will still attend but I feel very flattered by the offer from Berwick and will be making a visit there at least once this year because of it- 221 replies
