are you trying to get around the little training track ??? you know what to do regarding your position , what gearing are you using ?? i rode that training track once ( excellent fun ) and i think its sumat like a 14 on the engine & 73 on the back , it just spin's & spin's , you have no choice but to get it sideways , then when you have mastered that & need more speed, go up a tooth or two on the front & down a few on the rear , also try put more air in the rear tyre , that helps it to break traction too , make the corner a V shape roll it into turn & blast out , talk to the other lads there , they won't bite you , they will understand what's wrong , good luck & have fun ,

cool even better 6 rider 6 lap race's , hows that for value ?

because in my opinion its not a winninng or even a winning formula anymore , one of my mate's ( my sandracing mechanic ) recently attended his first speedway meeting & when i asked him what he thought he said there wasnt enough racing , and with other topics on here regarding improving racing with upright's / laydowns ,tuning cost's , adding weight's , riders insurance etc etc i just thought 6 lap races could solve some of these problems , hey it was just a idea

what about 3 laps then

exactly plus it would produce even better races , just think off racers like loram/screen etc with another lap or two , & surley the motors would have to be tuned to be more durable to last those extra laps and the extra weight added with more fuel needed should provide closer racing , it would not cost much to implement , every body wins dont they ?

maybe nothing to do with this thread but i'm really glad to see jacek gollob still doing his stuff , i met him the first time tomas & he rode in the uk ( pride of the east @ kings lynn in 92 i think ) what a really nice bloke he was

oh! and by the way if it ever happens don't forget who's idea it was THE PUDDING , and if the 6 lap races get's slated it was andy m's idea , cos i usually agree with him

i know i've added this to other threads , but i'd like to know why 6 lap races wouldnt improve speedway ,

andy my opinion still stands cos i only saw him @ lynn & the world final at bradford , thats why i asked what happened to him and now i see why , to many parties , what a shame eh ??

i agree , what a rider & a really nice guy too , what happened to him tho ?, i thought he was good enough to be world champion

vince my idea of 6 lap races would also add weight to the bikes due to more fuel being needed , we all know you will never stop development of race machines so it needs a different approach thats easy & cheap to imlement , and MY idea would give speedway more value for your money ,

why ???? it would be just the same , tuned to the max & still costing £'ssss , six lap races is worth looking at , rider's would need a more durable motor , the insurance will be the same , supporters see more action and it wouldnt cost anything to implement , am i the only one who think it could work

would six lap races alter the way engines are built ????? wouldnt they have to be more reliable i.e less tuned ??? which cuts costs , .

steve lomas can still be seen doing his stuff @ mablethorpe sandracing , even tho he is no spring chicken , he shows them the way home in his class 500cc road @ 50+ years young

sometime ago ( over 10 years ) i had three third places & a dnf @ a training school match , and one of them was behind glyn taylor & steve johnston ( once sick in my car too ) i was only a third of a lap behind them & i loved every moment of my skidding days , i wasnt any good but enjoyed it all the same , anyone who has a go has my respect

i dont know if this helps you , 15 yrs or so ago he was running a cycle shop in keighley & wasn't he the halifax juniors team manager

wouldnt it be good if they raced the opposite way round

soldier boy was a regular at halifax before it closed , i remember him giving kenny carter grief most of the time , a bit of a love / hate thing going on i think ,

i think i remember him , wasnt he really bad ???? and i think it was terry hardacre but im not sure , i was mates with most of the riders , mainly the juniors tho , i would like to get in touch with richard beever , we had some good laugh's together , last i knew he was living in holmfirth near huddesfield , but thats a long time ago , and the last time i spoke to kenny young was over 10 years ago @ bradford ,

thanks for that , i will have to watch out for rob & his lad , yeah i remember david clay too , & there was ashley norton , rob tate , gordon whittaker , guy wilson & max schofield was the mascot

i would like to get back in touch with some of the boys who rode for the juniors @ the shay in the 80's , richard beever , kenny young , rob manchester etc ,
