simple as soon as a monster rider starts going 10 MPH faster on one . we will know they have cracked the seal

How do you do that blue writing link to something ?

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 .!

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 ,

What a great bloke councillor Stokes is , wish we had at least one member of our council who was like him .

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
-
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
-
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
-
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 ,
-
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
-
Looks like there may be some pickings to be had from down the road . Kenny Bjerre anyone ?
-
sure is

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

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 .
-
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

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
-
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
-
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
-
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 ,

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
