Conkers 67 Posted January 8, 2009 Received some interesting news today... . Some guys from Holland are going to run a ice-racing meeting in Wartena (The Netherlands) this sunday. On the day there will be 3 classes; normal Iceracing, Moto-x, and normal Speedway. I have no idea if there will be any International Ice racers (should be..), more info soon (I hope lol). Is this place Warten, Boarnsterhim (North West of Assen) near Leeuwarden? I cant seem to find a Wartena on Google Maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know when the "competition" is starting on sunday? Maybe you know some names of any rider who take part? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conkers 67 Posted January 9, 2009 Reading the News about this on DGT's site, it looks like they have put a temporary track down. From the location given, a quick look on Google Maps shows it appears to be in a field between the two roads mentioned in the piece. Good for them! Seems it's the first meeting to be held in the "open air" for some time. (I suppose since Assen put the roof on and the other tracks all stopped staging Ice Racing) Must be colder than Buxton in the Netherlands then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 807 Posted January 9, 2009 Another (!!) update to the Saalfelden lineup... Max Niedermaier is replacing Dimitri Tschatschin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 807 Posted January 9, 2009 Don't think any foreign riders will race in Wartena this Sunday.... the KNMV was complaining about the safety and decided that riders with a Dutch license are not allowed to take part. Also the KNMV "officials" (people with the flags on the infield) are not allowed to "flag" sunday, pretty childish eh? Riders in the "Ice-Racing" class: Tjitte Bootsma, Wiebe Vochteloo, Hielke de Graaf, Gerrit de Bruin, Gerrit Rook. No info about the "Moto-x" and the "Speedway" class yet.

Conkers 67 Posted January 9, 2009 Are you attending? Looking at the list of riders you've posted, they are probably using "retired" riders to simply have demonstration races so as to not upset the KNMV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 807 Posted January 9, 2009 Yep I'll be there. Will take alot of pictures and some video footage . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted January 9, 2009 the KNMV was complaining about the safety and decided that riders with a Dutch license are not allowed to take part. Also the KNMV "officials" (people with the flags on the infield) are not allowed to "flag" sunday, pretty childish eh? That all of course depends on the view you take. If the federation decides that the meeting wont get a permission, then all licenses for the riders and officials and void and if anything happens, all heII breaks loose. Then again, if they give a permission for a track thats unsafe and something happens, all heII breaks loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conkers 67 Posted January 9, 2009 I'm plannig to go to Berlin on March 8th. Any ideas where I can find details, start time, ticket prices, etc. This is their site but it is all in German. http://www.eisspeedway-berlin.de/ Gates open on Saturday at 2pm, with racing at 5pm, and gates open Sunday at 11am with racing starting at 2pm. You should be able to get standing tickets on the gate, but there is a facility to buy them in advance. Are you only going on the Sunday then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
