I met Piet at the Oldenburg track in north Germany way back in 1957 - in a much happier speedway era! The other Dutch riders there were Gerrit Kops and Nico Van Gorcum. Marian Kaiser (Poland) won the event and I think the other main places were Ray Harris (England) and Hans Jager (Germany). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
