Of course.Just would mean banning females from spectating as well then

No that's right.TC and his brother(or brother in law)who's flat parts of the bikes were found at.Maybe someone has clearer knowledge.I did come across an article in one of my old Speedway Stars a while back

I see Antonio is in a bit of bother in Poland. I think he is fairly safe in the GPs.Sweden with 2 of them and only really AJ roubling the top.I said last year that Sweden don't have the talent they did have.With PK not making it in the qualis,will he or Lindgren make it this year?Looks doubtfull at the mo and no-one else on the horizon.

They should have assigned one of the guys to watching the bikes then

Donny can sometimes be seen in deepest South London.There is a Mormon thingymybob(not sure if they call them churches or temples or what)in Mitcham where he has been a visitor.Apparently

I have a feeling Subedei would much rather see some of this Certainly get them flocking in early If i'm not mistaken this is where Reading copied their team suits from

Rob.Seems very working mens club rather than national stadium,big sporting event type performance to me

The faint chance a British rider will win Or is it the cry of "I'm only here for the beer"

Think your more likely to get

Don't tell me........snooker loopy is one of your favourites

Well at least that will please Rabbit,rabbit,rabbit Gertcha!!!

Found that bit on Igor Plechanov I.Plechanov Little bit at the bottom seems to indicate an error on his birthdate

Looks like it to me Jim.I did post a link to an article on a Russian site a few years back.Can't find it now.But it did have a nice picture of Igor with the Czech Golden helmet(i think)

And they have already announced that the 80cc World Championship will be back in Denmark next year.So they ain't moving in the 250cc direction yet.

Planned or not,he has got about the same time period as they had to prepare himself for the new arrival

So ain't Tony Rickardsson and Jason Crump dads?

Yes,your top 3 should outscore Germany.I hope that overall Germany just make it.To be honest i don't think they do themsleves any favours by hosting these meetings at Abensberg.A track that hardly any of the riders ride more than once per season.i would have thought it far better for Germany's prospects to host it somewhere that at least 2 or 3 ride very regularly and well.Diedenbergen,Teterow or maybe Güstrow.But that is speedway.Hope all teams are full strength and the best one wins. Whoever gets through isn't likely to pick up many points in the next round,just like last year

Have to disagree with that.Hopefully we will see Germany advance to Vojens,not only so that i can see them go up against the top nations,but it might be better for the cash registers Sorry f-s-p

From the accounts on inspeed you missed a good meeting.Me too.Ain't that typical Yes Aarnoi did have a bad start.I didn't realise the problem and to be honest in his first heat i just thought he gave up.He got his 2 points in his last heat,which although quite an easy heat,he did look good.There were a number of mechanical problems.Daniel Rath and Hefenbrock had trouble as well as Puodzuks.Aarnio does seem to have a good reputation here though.Mainly through his indoor meetings,i guess

Impressive score from Peter Ljung and also Chris Holder/Eddie Kennett.Guess Crump is still feeling a bit off colour

And tommy was asking if i was going to a meeting at ZG this year Good to see young Kevin Wölbert pass and beat Andreas Jonsson,but i guess he was a bit shaken up at the time.Still,another top name he has beaten And if anyone has this meeting on dvd,i would gladly pay for a copy

Also a rather spectacular but harmless fall from 13 year old Fritz Riemer who had a massive wobble coming down the straight and couldn't correct it.But he also got better as the meeting went on Fotos Short TV report Results from Bundesliga,Neuenknick DIEDENBERGEN 40 R.Deddens 3 M.Schultz 11 T.Stange 15 N.Magosi 11 T.Gävert NS D.Krecklow (2)0 GÜSTROW 30 S.Mell 8 R.Haupt 5 T.Johansson 9 E.Pudel 4 R.Baumann 1 S.Malyschew (10)3 BROKSTEDT 29 N.Klingberg 8 S.Katt 10 R.Stanek 1 T.Kröger 2 S.Petersen 7 M.Zywek (5)1 NEUENKNICK 26 M.Bartz 4 T.Busch 6 M.Sekula 0 L.Jankowski 12 P.Döllmann 2 A.Ledwig (7)2 Edit:A crowd of around 600 at Neuenknick Was a bad crash when Tobi Busch and Sönke Petersen came together.Norbert Magosi following,had no chance and collided with Sönke.Both were taken to hospital.From the report i have seen Sönke will be out for 8-10 weeks,but Norbert is out for the season.Hope it isn't as bad as that and get well soon to both

I don't think they will give up that easily Brian The thing is i think they were only given 3 weeks notice so had no real chance to plan anything.They also looked at pressed bales of hay,but that was more expensive than a crane.And maybe the bales degrade whereas containers are just given back to their owners.It all comes down to a woman who has complained for over ten years about the noise and i think as nothing has been done the local authorities stamped down.Pocking were hoping that they would turn a blind eye this once and then get working for the future.Lets hope this gets sorted out in time for next year. As to the oldest competition,you could well be right.The Baltic Cup(Ostseepokal)was started in 1968.I think the Bergring meeting in Teterow might be older(just checked and 1958),but that is Grass Track.Wasn't Kelvin Tatums dad the first or one of the first winners?
