iris123 20,988 Posted July 4, 2022 Notable that the entries from around the world have shrunk Always remember Penti Kiski i think his name was with his team of young Finns, who i seem to remember were mostly riding in the Swedish junior league Then the amount of young Aussie talent that came over. Saw Darcy Ward, Arthur Sissis and a host of other youngsters from down under have their first european meetings in this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f-s-p 832 Posted July 5, 2022 I honestly don't know. Introducing 250cc was the death of Finnish 85cc, since from already few a couple decided to switch, so not enough riders anymore to host 85cc meetings. A couple of kids from Varkaus have been touring the Baltics for 85cc heats in BSL, but don't know anymore about Sweden. Swedish 85cc used to have 100+ riders and in Denmark 150+ for 85cc and also 50cc. About 15 years ago... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 2002 i think there were very very few. I think Katt did race in Denmark, but that would have been before 2002. All i remember were riders like Sönke Petersen doing 500cc there Wasn't really until the 'Drift Kids' got going, first at Güstrow then moved to Parchim around 2010 that a push towards Danish league 85cc started Edited July 5, 2022 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
