They have covers on the track, unlike Teterow. Practice cancelled here too.

For those traveling to Teterow (and I guess Gustrow too), there is also a speedway meeting in Wolfslake on the sunday (1.5 hour south from Teterow). Look for info on the German forum: http://www.speedway-forum.de/index.php?thread/15343-10-09-2017-int-speedwayrennen-in-wolfslake/

GTR now also more involved in Polish speedway and the NICE cup. They have a seperate meeting (4 heats I think) today in Torun with 4 riders on GTR engines.

Super meeting today too bad of the rain. Crazy how quick these meetings can be run. Imagine when the top boys stop doing their little games with changing bikes and having 20 mechanics on the tracks. Would speed thing up drastically.

Some awesome racing here so far

First heat will be a hour earlier due to the bad weather forecast.
