Can't we have a better topic than this? WHO CARES!!!!

There have been many Speedway Leagues in USA over the years, none that have really taken off. Having said that....there is a league RIGHT NOW. Industry Hills beat Perris 37-35 in the first match. Perris beat Victorville 41-32 Other teams include LA, Riverside I don't expect too much to come from this.

Never mind!!!!!!! I answered my own question. The rules are on the FIM site and quite clearly state a run off. Anyone else interested in the rules can check out the FIM site here: http://www.fim.ch/en/default.asp?item=31 Go to Page 24.

I make a wild assumption here and assume the rules of the GP are in written form somewhere and covers the event of a tie at the end of the GP series? Actually, several questions have arisen over this years series and decisions have been made that have caused much debate on this forum. Question: Anyone have a copy of the rules? Or are they in Ole Olsen's head? I don't believe they could have just come up with a run-off.

My Cousin called the hospital today. They said "Maurice was "very poorly". My cousin added, he will be 84 on the 22nd of October. And just to add in on the previous conversation....his "Real Name" is Maurice and he likes to be called that......

Don't think I quite claimed that Legault would make the GP did I? I did say may make it BEFORE the next AMERICAN would. BUT having said that he did accomplish more than any other Brit by at least getting to the last qualifying stage. You and I both know that we don't have a clue as to how any rider will progress over the next two years and that includes your list and Legault.

Wasn't quite referring to the two Brits (that are desperately trying to hang on to 7th & 8th place). Simply where are the one's to take their place? Absolutely agree about the American public not supporting an event where only one American was riding......they need to have a HUGE chance of winning before it would be supported. I think our Canadian may make it to the GP series in 2009....before another American comes along.

This has been a very interesting thread......I love to read this again in a couple of years and see who was right here. For me I'd love to see a GP in the USA since I live in Canada (yes I have been to other GP's including Sydney before someone says something negative) but I also can't see it happening right now. As far as riders in the USA, there are some up and coming one's and they may decide to try their luck. While on the subject of riders where are all the Brits???? I say that of course as a joke but there could be NO british riders in the GP except for reserve....what would that do to the Cardiff GP? Russia, IMHO is a definite....SOON!

GP practise rained out yesterday.........not sure what the weather is like today.

Now THAT was funny.....Thanks!

Anyone have any idea if this is being picked up on the INTERNET for those less fortunate...looks like the regular Danish site is not picking it up this time.

2007 Canadian National champion: Aaron Hesmer

18 September was the date....no other info.

Maybe stretching it a bit but....how about Mark Loram.....Malta

Any updates would be just fine......GO LEGO GO!!!

Sounds like a really dumb reason to me......nothing like getting the International experience whether you do well or not. It should set you up for when you really are ready.

There are NO tracks currently active in British Columbia (Vancouver)..

Would really like a programme from this meeting. Anyone have a spare that they would be willing to send to Canada? All costs paid of course! rkss@sympatico.ca

Could someone who is going to this match please pick up two programmes for me? I will of course pay all postage costs etc to Canada. Please contact me offline if you can do this. rkss@sympatico.ca

Just replied on the other thread where you asked for this programme.....its out on eBay right now...see other thread for the item number. Good Luck!

Ask and you shall receive.....out on eBay right now!!!!!! ITEM # 270097769965 Good Luck!

Oops! should have read the previous posts....all solved!

Bugger!!! If I had looked at that site first without going through my programmes I wouldn't have had to waste the time but at least I got it right!!!

This is a really interesting one......I guess the only way would be to match a programme from 1959....IF 1959 is accurate......looking at the records Coventry only had a WCQR that could possibly match this but it was won by Brian Crutcher. This kinda leaves Coventry out of the picture. These "Bibs" were also used for the long gone INTERNATIONALE, of course these did not start until 1961. If it is 1959 Ipswich did many open meetings that year with Internationals & Open meetings, many of these riders were in these meetings...it could just be one of those, not the 5 internationals they had though. Looking at the picture there is a "Logo" just above and to the right of Teo's head, maybe a clue if you can blow this part up.

Unfortunately I remember these days only too well....I was in Holland at the time on holiday and I saw a poster on the road stating Denmark v. West Ham at Tilburg & Amsterdam....I knew nothing about West Ham going to Holland to race, even being a West Ham fan. So I decided to take a chance and find out if it really was...well obviously it was...I went to both meetings and even had chats with the riders.....imagine my shock the next day when all these riders were killed. Sad, sad days.
