Woffy, Hughes, Auty, Haines and Bridger Practice is at 10am.

Lol, why do I get the feeling that if Darcy Ward is riding with a 600cc engine that you wouldn't complain at all?

Meeting is postponed (rain) to 18 september.

Ulamek has just rode in a meeting in Germany (finished 10 minutes ago) and is now on his way to Zielona Gora by helicopter .

Probably the best Ukrainian rider is Andrej Karpov at the moment. Racing in the Polish 1st Division, the Swedish Alsvenskan League and the Danish Speedway League (correct me if I'm wrong).

Well there are 3 active tracks in the Ukraine; Chervonohrad, Rivne, Lviv. All in the west of the Ukraine. Rivne is the closest track to Kiev, approx 300km west from Kiev.

He retired for a couple years and now made his comeback, gave speedway a try again in Brokstedt a month ago and is now racing for the Brokstedt team. He's got some pretty descent results already.

The first round of the Dutch championship was held last saturday in Veenoord. Results are on: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/ and click on 'Nieuws'. I crashed in my first heat which resulted in a broken wrist .

By the wayyyy, JK is leading the Longtrack World Championship by 17 points! .

Well in that case you can remove all Dutch tracks and most German tracks from the list lol.

Lineup: http://speedwaya-z.cz/view.php?cisloclanku=2010070801 CZ: Eduard Krčmář Michal Průcha Václav Milík? France: Richard de Biasi Xavier Muratet Anthony Caldo Germany: Christian Rinkenburger Maik Hofmann Andre Mochner Valentino Grobauer Steven Mauer Italy: Dario del Torre Michele Castagna New Zealand: Anthony Knowles Australia: Michael Navratil Sweden: Victor Palovaara Jacob Thorsell

Valentin Grobauer from Germany will also race there.

The Dutch and German tracks that are listed in post #1 are all proper speedway tracks. But the most only stage 1 or 2 meetings per year.

You can add Blijham to Holland, and Chabarovice to the Czech Republic. I rode in meetings on both tracks this year.

Lonigo starts at 9pm tonight (local time I believe).

Well the Togliatti meeting has started.. what a joke: http://www.live.espeedway.pl/race_detail.php?id=1689

Matej Ferjan is also not riding in Russia. Lol what a joke this Togliatti race off is, big shame though.

Martin Smolinki is also out (logistical problems).

Kevin Wölbert is injured and also not riding.

Also visa problems for Mads Korneliussen and Nicolai Klindt, that's why Jan Jaros on #3 and Edward Kennett on #6. Gotta say that it's a pretty big shame this visa crap.
