THE DEAN MACHINE

we have tony atkin as guest , R/R for branflake and michael neale for luke ,but we will give it our all as usual

i dont think anybody really knows , i think it must be something to do with algebra or fractions or maybe russell grant knows in his stars or in the book of rocket science explained i think there is a section in which it explain's how you make such a simple sport into a complete and utter balls up

id know speedway had really lost the plot then

and that very thing happend a belle vue last season when he lead NP untill he was shoved out of the way ,and jason said later i will be ready for him next time

i would give the wild card spot to jason garrity , get him some good machinery ,he wouldnt really have a great chance of winning but i give it 2 rounds before he clashed with nicki pedersen and it would be like penhall and carter all over again for the rest of the series :lol:

and the loomer road track was well prepared tonight

i believe ben reade is having a ride tonight so will most likely be back and luke is not riding for buxton cause he chopped end off his finger, we already got r/r for branflake so its a 3 pointer

i think he was british but was married to a russian women, he lived/lives in wolverhampton?, he got a grant to ride speedway from the government and i think he still rides in the southern track amateur meeting, thats all i know about him

my other half stayed in a hostel with her friends about 1 mile from stadium , it was basic but clean and slept 4 people and it was free parking and was £20 a room per night ,thats cheap in anybodys book, i left my van there too for free and we got a taxi in to center

thought the racing was good on a smooth track, pre meeting entertainment was on par with the usual garbage ,when will people learn that xfactor and bgt dont provide any entertainment for anybody over 14 with a brain, ticket prices were good for the event that it is ,programmes were a bit steep at £10 but the ear piece you got free with them was a good idea and enjoyed listening to the jan and darren fletcher,crowd looked the same as every other year to me but didnt seem as many poles ,speeedway was a good winner and proved why its the most exciting sport on the planet but how long before it shoots itself in the foot again

R/R rule, A pool of riders is made up from riders from amateur meetings STR etc,When both teams are using r/r both teams ure a rider from the pool

before any rule is passed at an agm, all involved should state how many more people that rule will bring to meetings,if its none as most of the current crop of rules dont then it dosent get passed

exactly the point but in the eyes of current speedway thinking,you the fans dont matter and until you do its a downward spiral, this is not limited to Nl but allleagues

Tee total mate , but even on my days off I worry where the sport is going

Ok we shouldn't use it either , but this is the point speedway is just about how to exploit all within the rules cause the rules are so slack and useless hence a premier league rider is riding at reserve in the NL because the rules don't work and untill they do work how do you expect the sport to move forward

What a great idea , cause if I was a fan that's just what I pay to see My reply was to frostylion

This is a dig at the sport malcom not stoke personally , I just used the stoke example, it makes the sport look stupid , you can bring 7 gp riders tomorrow if you wish, r/r should not happen in the national league, it's the NL that is short sighted and untill it starts to show some forward thinking it will always remain a bad smell to the bspa But then again if the cap fits , lol

stoke sack a rider ,sign a rider then dont declare him in to the 1-7 and use r/r and they wonder why speedway is seen as a joke

i think the grading system that we used before was flawed because of the way riders were graded , if i remember right we had a rider at sittingbourne who was graded a 10 point rider even though he had never rode in a meeting before and some 8 point riders were graded at 5 and its that bunny brained type of thinking that made the grading system fail in the NL , had they just graded a rider on his average it might of worked abit better but then again when it comes to rules in the NL good ideas never get past the door

speedway is littered with bunny brained ideas that were brought in without any real thought about the credibility of the sport and tonight was a perfect example of one of them but well done to the danes for 18 heats of entertaining speedway

i think duel nationality only applies to aussies and nz in the national league

when holder got excluded for knocking off bjarne he was in the exact same track position( front wheel over the curb ) as lindgren when he knocked off nikki, and the ref made the opposite decision ,

i went to the the czech gp and it was full pretty much all the way round except for the big main stand where the expensive tickets were , when you can watch a czech league match for around £3 on the day before its hardly surprising that many czechs didnt want or could afford to pay £50+ to sit and watch a gp

The tracks of today haven't really got anymore dirt than years ago but Buxton is one that does , some tracks are like skating rinks, wolves and rye house spring to mind but they are smooth and nice to ride, the iow and stoke are bumpy but mainly slick, mildenhall and kl are grippy because they have clay in them, they all have their good and bad days, but to make it in speedway you have to ride them all, but if you turn up with a rocket and the tracks got a couple of bumps and loads of dirt you will be racing against the bike and not the opposition and speedway bikes rarely forgive you The tracks of today haven't really got anymore dirt than years ago but Buxton is one that does , some tracks are like skating rinks, wolves and rye house spring to mind but they are smooth and nice to ride, the iow and stoke are bumpy but mainly slick, mildenhall and kl are grippy because they have clay in them, they all have their good and bad days, but to make it in speedway you have to ride them all, but if you turn up with a rocket and the tracks got a couple of bumps and loads of dirt you will be racing against the bike and not the opposition and speedway bikes rarely forgive you

at nl league level technology hasnt really taken over ,the problem is young riders spend way to much with so called tuners without really knowing or understanding their engines ,they see mr gp star has light flywheels or x cam and they pay a fortune to have them fitted and then when they go to a track with dirt like buxton they cant turn and are all over the place and then go on to blame the track , but the fact is the tracks always going to be like that so if you want to get round it then the rider needs to adjust accordingly ,i know experimenting costs money but if young riders took the time to learn about engines they could do this themselves and save a fortune ,i have said all this many times on different posts ,
