Bradford Ace I think they changed geometry at Wroclaw, new trend is to also make the tracks shorter than in the past examples of that are Torun new track at 325 meters and Gorzow at 329 meters one is new track the other was modified recently. The longest Polish tracks are at Poznan,Rzeszow,Krosno and Tarnow all at or close to 400 meters.

Mickey Mouse has been a logo for Zielona Gora for as long as i remember.

No idea Alan i am too lazy to check that Piotr Zyto rode for Gdansk and then Opole in 80's up until 1990.

Lovelly hat LOL.

Now Wroclaw - Green Mountain.

They didnt show it but commentators sure talked about it there was some pushing afterwards.

Nasty exchange at entrance to pits between Sullivan and Johnsson after that heat.

Is that a moustache Holder is trying to grow.

Young Wozniak pretty good today.

New silencers were mentioned numerous times during Polish Extraligue meetings on TV not one rider had anything positive to say about them ,most think they are dangerous as bikes are loosing power at times and should be banned by FIM(new silencers that is).

If something is said about Emil and his comeback at Torun-Bydgoszcz match today ill let you know.

Me too Alan from 11 am till 3 pm should be good racing hopefully.

I know they have fairly old mechanism too at Bydgoszcz some tracks like Rzeszow have electro magnet much more reliable funny how riders from Eastern Europe speak really good polish (Vaculik,Saifutdinov,Pavlic and others)

Hi Alan Here is good link for this match im in Canada works well http://www.hqtv.com.pl/newtv/

It should be a good meeting as both team are fairly closely matched.

I agree Thursday match should be better teams are more evenly matched Wroclaw beat Tarnow today by similar score to that Gorzow-Bydgoszcz match.

He (pawlicki) just said we was a bit all over the place but that sometimes happens, Walasek called Nicki some bad name in his interview thou.

For those not speaking Polish Gollob set a new track record in his first heat.

Looks like an easy win for Gorzow.

Not much racing going on pretty boring so far.

Yes you have to be affiliated with club basically they have speedway school for new riders where they train them,fit them as far as i know everything is provided to you bike ,leathers you just have to show up if you are no good after couple trys they will politely tell you this sport is not for you most riders that are later good been around motorcycles long time since very young(mini speedway,motocross etc.) Tomasz Gollob was very good in motocross(he was i think 5th in 1987 in polish championships) before he switched to speedway.

Nice that you enjoyed your match in Gorzow it can get nasty sometimes during derby with fans fighting etc I am from Rzeszow and was at quite a few derby matches with Tarnow back in the old days it was scary at times riot police everywhere and some groups of fans from tarnow being escorted after the match to prevent fighting.
