oleoleole 227 Posted April 2, 2008 Looking at the draw for the preliminary rounds of the World Cup it looks like Greg Hancock is going to have to be in two places at the same time!? Saturday 24th May. SWC. Qualifying round 1. Miskolc, Hungary. Teams; Germany, USA, Hungary and Latvia. Saturday 24th May. SGP Gothenburg. Presumably he will be in the GP but that will severely weaken the USA team. Strange planning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazzman 72 Posted April 2, 2008 They did a similar thing last year...where the British GP clashed with Qualifying GP 2009 Round....so someone who could of won the wild card for the British GP would miss it for a qualifer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,994 Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Isn't the Miskolc meeting on the 25th? SWC Seems to be down as the 25th on this Hungarian site as well Hungary calendar Edited April 2, 2008 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) I received a press release from the FIM a few days ago with the seeded teams etc for the SWC. According to that the Miskolc Quali is on 24.05.2008. Edited April 2, 2008 by DutchGrasstrack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barrow boy 119 Posted April 2, 2008 Looks like it's the race off for GB then along with Sweden, Australia who they will have to beat to get to the final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Schumi Posted April 2, 2008 It's odd because they've actually swapped the teams around (USA were originally meant to qualify on June 29th in the other meeting), but I doubt Greg will have a problem choosing. And I agree, the dates are correct - both on the 24th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandie 53 Posted April 2, 2008 And Lukas Dryml has a clash with the Cardiff GP and qualifier on the 28th and 29th June Seems stupid that these events are planned over these weekends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Schumi Posted April 3, 2008 Looks like they only changed it today though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,994 Posted April 3, 2008 Looks like they only changed it today though. Or maybe they only got around to telling Dutch about it today Everyone else knew beforehand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Schumi Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) Or maybe they only got around to telling Dutch about it today Everyone else knew beforehand It was originally the 25th, then this appeared on speedwayworld on the 1st: THE draw for the 2008 Speedway World Cup has been made along with details of dates and venues for the qualifying meetings. The qualifying meetings take place at Miskolc, Hungary, on Saturday May 24, and at Ljubljana, Slovenia on Sunday June 29. QUALIFYING ROUND 1 Miskolc, 24.05.08 Germany USA Hungary Latvia And now it looks like it's changed again, for the third time. Edit: or the FIM messed up their press release.

Guest Schumi Posted April 8, 2008 Meeting is definitely on the 25th - why dont you believe 'DutchGrassTrack'? There was an FIM email circular to all federations last Thursday I know, and I do. Was just explaining why there was confusion, if that's okay with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
