    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 :P

    Probably all current trainers used to be riders in the past. Polonia's trainer - Zdzislaw Rutecki - finished his career in the mid 90s. My parents are at his age and they knew him from parties during their school years as they were at the same high school.

    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.

    Yeah, Mathias Schultz  :)

    Good Signing.

     

    I are astonised that no one has gone for Smolinski....

     

    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!

    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 :P

    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 :D 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

    Anyway if it's coastal tourist areas they want,then what better than Stralsund(recommended by M.Ferjan). :P 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 :o

     

     

     

     

    Oh,i forgot,there's also the Beer

    But would the Czechs want it?It's good as an idea,but if a country isn't strong would they risk holding an event they might not get into the final of?At the moment only Poland,Sweden and Denmark would be good bets to qualify.Britain should,but you wouldn't bet too much on it.As was said the attendances for a week in Denmark were not too good,which leaves Sweden and Poland with Britain.After a few years of that it will get pretty boring especially if one of them(Sweden or Britain,possibly)gets weaker.Can see it being held in more than one country
