DutchGrasstrack

Guess the FMS isn't too pleased with the FIM as they asked for 6 places in the qualifiers and only got 2 and not a team place in the Teams world championship .

26-27 February mate Oh and by the way, Johnny Tuinstra is going to race again after a break last year, woohoo .

The countries for the Team Cup in Berlin... Austria, Germany, Holland, Russia, Finland, Czech Republic and Sweden.

Hello mate. I guess to, I will clear it soon lol . There wasn't a National Championship of Belgium last year either mate, wasn't held for years. But the club told me that they are going to run a 'Open Belgian Championship' in 2011. Benjamin Borgers won the Golden Helmet in 2009 and a Open Club meeting in 2009. This was noted wrong by mainly the Poles (again) without checking the source/results.

Excellent, thank you! Any info on the rider allocations yet?

Well here we are again; any info on the FIM congress in Macao from last week yet? I know the calendars should come out soon, but when? Does anybody got them already? Anyway for all who is interested about Longtrack Racing.... here are the wildcards: Gerd Riss, Stephane Tressarieu, Dirk Fabriek and Josef Franc. New for 2011 is that there are 4 wildcards, beside the GP in Forus (Norway)... Franc will stay home that GP and a rider from Norway will get a chance to race.

The KNMV runs the meetings together with the clubs. The KNMV will sort the officials, the speaker, the referee, the lads in the paddock who check the bikes, etc. The clubs sort the stuff around the meeting, like the catering. The husband and wife you mean are the 'owners' of the Speedway Veenoord club . The KNMV has now started a 'speedway work group', hopefully they will be able to get some meetings sorted next year. Hopefully there are some riders as many of them have quit speedway or got their bikes for sale.

The traditional Indoor speedway meeting in Exloo at the end of this year has been called off.

Yes the text says that there was a national team meeting (challenge) between the NACO Tijders, the North Stars, Speedwayteam Amsterdam and Limburgia.

Well done Ward

Ward from red, Janowski blue and Bodganov white goooo Bodganov

Runoff between Ward, Bodganov and Janowski

getting closeee 1 heat togo (heat 20) Bogdanov 29 + 1 = 30 Janowski 27 + 3 = 30 Hougaard 25 + 2 = 27 Vaculik 23 + 3 = 25 Ward 27 + ?

4 heats togo... Bogdanov 29, Janowski 27, Ward 27, Hougaard 25, Vaculik 23, Pavlic 22

We'll see

Yeah right, Bodganov is better and you know it

The solution is that the KNMV is going to talk with the speedway clubs, which they refuse to do . The Blijham club is furious, and they are thinking about quiting the speedway . Same for the Lelystad club, although I think they will go on with their weekly practice sessions and club meetings (6 in a year). The Vledderveen track is still not approved for speedway and will never be because it's all setup wrong . Veenoord can only run 2 meetings per year, so that does not help much either. Currently many many riders are doing grasstrack and speedway. And also many got their bikes for sale already because there aren't just enough meetings. There are only 3 riders in Holland who only race speedway on proper level, that's me, Henk Bos and Henkie Koonstra (I think). The rest is also racing grasstrack, and give priority to grasstrack. Henk Bos is quiting this year because he is fed up with the KNMV not running meetings . Speedway is realy definalty on his knees now in Holland, last years have been bad but it has now come to a point which might be the end.
