peatbog 22 Posted September 1, 2009 Don't they hold this Golden helmet meeting every year??????Or am i thinking of something else I think it's this one http://209.85.229.132/translate_c?hl=en&am...NpWbkIQMAawvXEw I saw this last year on Sat Tv channel CT4 Sport, I think there are about 40 heats with between 4 and 6 riders in each race. It's worth watching if you get the chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted September 1, 2009 The last Golden Helmet Metting was in 2005, won by Sebastian Alden from Sweden. A new club restarted Belgian Speedway in 2007 with a couple club meetings. This is the first Golden Helmet edition after 2005 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless of course they've widened the track since my last visit. Taking the wife and a couple of friends over this weekend. At least it should be a close meeting, cant see any obvious stars in the line-up who will walk away with the "coveted title".
