  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. I wish I had achieved as much as Chris Harris in my career
  5. it was never a challenge match , it was everything
  6. it got a bit nasty at the end of the meeting , you can see Grudziadz fans going on track to get at Torun fans , there is a couple of videos showing the trouble
  7. Track is woefull , the riders are spinning up so bad coming off the corners they look like they are going so slow
  8. I think belle vue fans are starting to miss kirkmanshulme lane , using elastic band as tapes not working tonight
  9. 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

  12. 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

  16. also Laguta was spinning his back wheel before the tapes went up ,is that why he doesn't use a spoiler ??
  17. it's known as the hokey kokey rule ,it's in then out , 2 years ago Britain said it was a safety issue then last year it wasn't and this year it is again ,
  18. try jack lee , (ex Buxton TM and now Sheffield TM) he rode for Nelson , he is on here as Rider Slider
  19. For me it's going to be NKI or Nicki but I will put a few £ on bomber
  20. yes most do but I've recently brought a weslake from 1979 and a GM from 1992 and neither had been run since and inside they were solid because the castor oil had been left in and gone hard basically eating the parts
  21. Caster oil is still used in speedway but not castrol so much , it's mainly rock, beeline or Morris and a few others , castor oils problem as I have found out recently since restoring old bikes is that if it sits for years without use it goes hard and ruins the parts of the engine
