I am thinking that it maybe the network in Europe for barges. Only thing is it was about 2000 miles in length. The barges were fine until rail came along and killed it quickly.

What does hot lap mean in dirt track racing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hot lap is a term used for a test drive. It's where they let drivers take the car on the track and see how the car and the track handle before a race. It is often only a few laps and less cars on the track at a time then during a normal race. Cars are not required to do hot laps but, it is a good idea since track conditions change all the time. By doing a test drive or "Hot Laps" before a race it allows drivers to see how the car will handle in a safer way then just making them race the car. This way they can make changes to the car before the race begins. Hot laps allows driver and crews to make the race safer and car go faster.

How to buy a speedway bike?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are a few ways.

1) Firstly, use "engine braking" to slow the bike to it's slowest, powered, speed, then pull in the clutch to be able to use your foot to slow and stop the bike.

2)Lay the bike down (usually done to avoid accidents). This usually happens on the bends when the bike is sideways. You simply move your weight further away from the bike and let it drop ot the floor and slide to a stop

3)Hit the fence - NOT the best way to stop.

What is the correct fuel oil mixture for a 1997 Kawasaki 250?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This would depend on what type of oil you will be using for your premix. The oil base stock is either petroleum, semi-synthetic or synthetic oil and is mixed with gas at a ratio ranging from 16:1 (petroleum) to as high as 100:1 (synthetic). I personally ride a 2001 Kawasaki KDX200 that I run Yamalube 2R at 36:1 with no problems. Although synthetics say you can mix them at 100:1 I would not, that seems way too lean to me.

Why do speedway riders tilt their bikes before the start of a race?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main reason is to rest their hands and/or adjust their clutch lever. Since the bikes have a single gear, releasing the clutch means the back wheel starts to turn and if the bike was not leant over on the footpeg (thus raising the back wheel off the floor) the bike would move forward. The clutch is easily adjustable to ensure that the level feels right to each individual rider and is adjusted each time a rider is making a start.
