The days of Ronnie Moore, Barry Briggs, and Ivan Mauger are long gone unfortunately. Love and support for speedway has dropped off, at least the solo bike stuff. It seemed to depend on who was running the track, it got to be mainly car guys down our way.

Cheers

Cool as it is, it's actually got nothing to do with it.

Yup.

So what's the correct term for controlling the direction of travel using the rear wheel under power?

Bearing in mind, the only time we have control of a bike is under power. The rest of the time we manage (guide?) the bike.

Sliding, or rear wheel steering.

up your way ya got moore park and ya actually have a handful of very talented riders a couple of who will be at Oreti park this weekend, the side cars are a lot stronger there and down here as well and although i enjoy them they still don't bring the chills that the smell and noise and skill of the solos bring. Oreti Park has a very strong junior rank solo and peewees but the problem is going to be keeping these young riders on solo bikes and it is already looking like one of our most promising and talented young riders will end up on the tarmac.

it was really good to see Bradley wilson-dean down here for the NZ Solo GP.

anyway what was the OP about

We had two tracks in ChCh once

Ruapuna & Aranui even had long track held at Addington raceway quite a few years back

another event like that would spur up some interest

they ran the long track down here at ascot a few time as well but unfortunately it has been canned, lotsa rumours as to why and depends who ya talk to,
but without support these sports drop off and its bloody hard to get the nz gutter press to print any sport that isn't rugby, league, cricket or golf.
