Might have then, they had terracing on the 3rd and 4th bend specially for the world cup 

In Prague under last years system Kurtz wouldn’t of qualified for semi final as he finished 9th on 7 points but did under this years system(10 qualifying) Kurtz is where he is on merit but was helped by the system change in Prague 

Does Poole hold 10,000?

The system has made next to zero difference, both kurtz and Zmarzlik have made the same number of finals, both have had 2 LCQs, and both have failed to make the final once each.  If you use heat points then Zmarzlik woukd be 4 points clear of Kurtz rather then the current 3 points.  Kurtz is where he is on pure merit regardless of the system. 

Agreed, it will be a fabulous speedwàÿ con̈test.

This is sadly true, each to their own as they say but having attended many sports ovet the years, Cricket, Ice Hockey, Rugby both codes, Football, Athletics, Basketball , Horse racing - i can honestly say speedway is still my favourite - the thrill of a great speedway race beats all of them!
