  1. simple as soon as a monster rider starts going 10 MPH faster on one . we will know they have cracked the seal
  2. obviously you have never had the misfortune to come across MX mentality otherwise you wouldn't need to ask ,
  3. It's boring that's why . and most of the people who are involved in it have motocross mentality . if you have ever been involved with MX people you will know exactly what I mean,
  4. American so it's Walmart , oh no hang on that's too upmarket for flat track , K mart
  5. Asda car park would be fine if you could get permission , nothing special about it whatsoever
  6. How do you do that blue writing link to something ?
  7. Speedway has always been abused by the tax system , while football has always benefitted , after the Bradford fire , The Taylor report categorised stadiums and demanded safety improvements , Coventry speedway had to close about 400 seats in the grandstand until they could afford a new staircase to comply with the regulations , football stadiums were given tax breaks for any improvements they had to make .!
  8. I would Imagine trying to deal with Hemsley would be rather difficult , he's a couple of bricks short of a full hod , ,but at least it appears the mad witch he was married to is no longer in the picture ,so that's one obstacle out of the way for a potential new broom , If there are potential new brooms ,they need to get a move on . because all the good riders are getting snapped up . and a rebrand wont be successful without a team that can at least challenge for silverware , Lions fans must have had enough whipping boy teams by now ,
  9. What a great bloke councillor Stokes is , wish we had at least one member of our council who was like him .
  10. Looks like Sandhu got whatever he was after . bet your life he made no concessions whatsoever and has got Horton on the back foot again . money grabbing scumbag
  11. Sandhu is trying to get his hands back on the lease , then he can start work in the background for the business one of his relatives owns ...Brandon estates
  12. Sandhu was scum when he bought into Coventry speedway with the intention of building houses on it and nothing has changed , he is still lower than a snakes belly
  13. It wouldn't be too much of a surprise though , the poles are now using the Uk as a cheap training scheme ,just like the Australians have been doing for years ,
  14. I think they may have missed the boat on that one , Sandhu the snake would already have sold them and the seats before he took them down
  15. Looks like there may be some pickings to be had from down the road . Kenny Bjerre anyone ?
  16. A thousand years ago .I went to Omega pistons at magna park for a piston . it was for a Godden and they were pistons from 2 litre sierra Cosworths , all was going well until the guy asked me why only 1 piston , I told him it was for a speedway bike ,immediately he said sorry cant help you ,you'll have to go to Godden for your piston . I can't sell you one
  17. I can remember .buying a couple of sleeves for my nephews .but couldn't remember the size , these would have been on uprights with dellortos of course .
  18. That got tried in the 80's but it think it was 34 mm . riders didn't like em said it created flatspots . idea got binned before the season started . Actually I think it may have been early 90s
  19. Oh dear . Phillip Rising has only just had one shock , finding out Christmas is fast approaching , I'm not sure he'll be able to cope with any insinuations about Dick Briggs .............actually thinking about it .£299 is little bit too cheap even for a Briggo version . more like £499 I would think
  20. fit a limiter on a speedway engine , and they will have to bring them in every time it cuts in . either because it's seized ( Bore Washed ) or bent the con rod (hydraulic lock ) , I can only assume that the people quoting car and bikes with rev limiters think that Speedway engines are fuel injected
  21. Eric Boocock tried to get the same sort of thing going with one of the big four supplying the engines , they had already invested quite a bit into R+d ,when the riders and the BSPA Poo pooed the idea . speedway shooting itself in the foot again and an opportunity to get the japs involved forever gone
  22. Chris Harris can't get the best out of any engine , so he's not the greatest of examples , I wonder how much of Freddies savings has made it's way back into British speedway ? ( guess here ... not 1 penny ) however the engine has shown it's potential and soon enough , there will be riders who can afford to offer their services for less , Next up Mr Gerhard needs to get working on a clutch . never before has a basicly simple principle .been subjected to so much pretence and bullrubbish , what is basicly a lump of ally machined to look fancy is £1,000 . of course Neb and scandic would dearly love everyone to go along with their pr that the materials used which don't last five minutes , are the best ones for the job , and of course that the price tag has anything to do with the actual value of the item . they are the best the best for 1 job , filling somebodies bank account ,
  23. Speedway is in a poor state , because it has spent far too long listening to people who stand on the terraces thinking they have all the answers , instead of listening to the people who have had experience and seek to benefit the sport without benefitting themselves ,when challenged these people usually flounce off , especailywhen faced by comments from people who have the relevant experience to be making suggestions . if for any reason .a bike stops pulling it becomes unrideable , so a broken chain or a misfire will almost certainly result in the rider falling ,, so how does a rev limiter or traction control work ?????........ it.s not rocket science is it , it cuts the spark causing the engine to stop firing regularly ,Yes folks you have it,, it creates a misfire !!!! now refer back to the opening line of this post and hey presto I can hear pennies dropping all over, as to why those who know a bit more about speedway than how to fill a program in ,think rev limiters are not such a good idea
