I was going to say it all looked a bit tame on that tight track,until that rider went straight for the crowd.One of them seems to lose his head a few times Thanks Grachan Maybe you can find the footage of Galloway and McKay at Stamford Bridge 1927?

According to speedway.org the german nominations are sorted Fin Quali P.Bondarenko S.Gegenbauer A.Roth Saalfelden Quali F.mayerbüchler V.Nikulin D.Tschatschin Russ semi M.Kreklau Inzell semi R.Eibl S.Pletschacher

Was at a meeting the other day Gem and because of riders not turning up and injuries in one heat there was only one rider.He came out done a lap and was awarded the heat

Yes,Bauer still has another operation ahead of him, then 4 months rehab.His father also died during the summer.He will be Pits boss at Inzell,though. More on the Golden Spike series can be found on the Erfurt site here.

The 65-0 match at Peterborough when Birmingham walked out after the ref declared the track fit.Peterborough rode all the heats alone,then drew straws or something to decide who would take the Silver Helmet that Doug Wyer didn't defend.After that there was a junior meeting between the Panthers and Wimbledon rode without incident

What is the situation with training schools.Are all clubs left to do there own thing or is the polish federation involved.Where are the best schools.See that a group of youngsters from South Germany spent a week in Poland and also a group from a Danish club had a training camp there as well.

Yes,Golden October!It was certainly colder for the Himmelsfahrt meeting.Was just a pity that so few people were there.

Just lucky your birthday isn't in March,then your cheeks would have been red

Hope it goes well for him.Now he has finished his studies he can concentrate on his speedway career next season.I think Martin done the right thing this year by dropping other commitments and concentrating on the Elite league.To be honest,i hope he does the same next season and really gets up into the top half of the averages before taking on other leagues. Didn't realise it was Team Bikab Matze is riding for!

And is there going to be a German in the Smederna colours as well Mikael?

Only took notice of that when i saw Marek Cieslak was trainer of Wroclaw.Remember him riding for White City in the 70's

I'd have to agree with Kevin.I've seen a few meetings here with sidecar racing and it's not the same as on the longtracks.Quad racing is maybe more suited to smaller speedway tracks.They have also started running shorttrack racing alonside speedway on some tracks here,which has brought howls of protest from some.Think Teterow also had rally cars this year on the Bergring. Would have to say,having been yestarday to a meeting with 2 500cc classes,a sidecar class and 3 different 50/80cc and a 250cc , i much prefer a simple team meeting with maybe a junior group interspersed between the heats.Although the youngsters must get their chance,all the breaks for presentations are boring and lets face it 50cc and 80cc speedway on a normal speedway track are no spectacle either.

I think there were quite a few females taking photos Shortoi Hope his celebrations went better than his season.One to forget really.Was expecting him to get on the rostrum,but with a 6 rider final on a small track it was always going to be a tight first bend.Unfortunatelly Henning got taken to the fence by Sorensen and the others went past him.He was then doing wheelies at the back And one way or the other he seems determined to spend next season in Britain,so you'll all be able to see him more often

Few more dates here

Dunno if it is,but i was going to say it's a good bet that one of them is called Reg,Ernie or Cyril

Harry Bastable? Is it Olle Nygren on the left of Stan?

Well i thought Iversen was a bit unlucky to only get 7 in Copenhagen.Can't see how you can think Lindgren should be in when his ave is lower than Iversen?

Just been sent some Dons programmes and in one the the Mayor of Merton is reminiscing and saying Trevor was one of her favourite riders.We all have different favourites and i must confess Trevor wasn't one of mine.Always remember there was an old lady on the second bend who always waved and cheered for him. Just wondering how he was viewed by others at the time.Was he at one stage seen as the new young star,the new white hope.After all he came along at a bit of a low point in terms of talent.Anyone with memories of him?

If it was held at Reading or Krsko he might have But i have to agree.Don't think he is ready and will be struggling for points

Thought the whole story was explained on here on one of the many Canterbury threads If it has been deleted i'm sure one or two of our members will explain again,eh Kev,Shazz

Anyway if it's coastal tourist areas they want,then what better than Stralsund(recommended by M.Ferjan). Lovely old town,with plenty of tourist attractions.Situated right by Germany's biggest island Rügen,summer playground of Erich Honneker.Part of Pommerania, it shares history with Poland and was also part of the Swedish empire at one time,so already has lots of interest for two of the main nations.Also for all their faults the communist government were very keen to promote FKK(Freikörperkultur or naturism),so not only are there plenty of babes on the beaches, a large proportion don't have any clothes on Oh,i forgot,there's also the Beer

It's a disservice you do me,for twas only a suggestion.Just thought that would be quite a good idea as so many people from speedway countries will be here for the footie anyway.I'm certain of nothing

For some it's half empty,others it's half full Anyway Steve thinks it's sold out,just like Poole was the other year

I don't expect to see him in as anything other than a wildcard.Think he will go the same way as Ulamek and Walasek.Soon get overtaken by the youngsters coming through.

Well maybe the World Cup was good(didn't see it) but just seen the ELRC and the racing wasn't too good.Maybe a bit to do with the tricky position of the sun,but riders were also commenting on the track.
