DutchGrasstrack

Big sponsors, money, tv, proper crowds, etc etc. Need I say more?

Who cares if the SEC or SBP are Mickey Mouse or not.... these are big events with big exposure and a great opportunity for every rider imo

A few photo's from the Tomicek memorial meeting yesterday in Prague: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/1191/peter-ljung-de-sterkste-in-de-regen-van-praag.html

Not sure. Almaty is confirmed for 18-19.02.2017 according to todays e-mail from the organisers.

Cardiff date confirmed for July 22thnd

Sphinx is always good for some steaks. Can recommend the Arsenal club for some drinks and party

Don't think Pardubice will be that good with only 4 riders on the track. Here are my pics from yesterday: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/1189/emil-sayfutdinov-wint-de-gouden-helm-van-pardubice.html

Cancelled tomorrow they try again. Not yet it seems, some info was posted online but now deleted.

Krasnogorsk should be out is what I have heard.

Yes the system is daft, I think this will be discussed at the next FIM Europe meeting

Spain is a perfect location for speedway. Would be good to have a speedway support class at their yearly big flattrack meeting in Barcelona

Yeah this was a very bad call from the ref I was standing 10 meters from the crash and I have it all on photo's, too bad it didn't matter.

Drabik won't be back yet and is replaced by Przedpelski.

Flying back to Amsterdam sunday morning early so then on a 8 or so hours trip to Gorzow, should be good Would be cool to meet

Prague confirmed for June 10

Excellent, so we have time enough to make it from Stockholm via Amsterdam to Gorzow

I would love this, but the venues are the problem. Lelystad, Veenoord and Blijham can't stage events with crowds over 3000. Don't think One Sport is keen in temporary tracks. The Gelredome in Arnhem is a great place for big events like SGP or SEC...

Speedway is indeed very much alive in my country, but as GW suggest it's a very small sport. Many riders do grasstrack and combine it with speedway. We have 3 tracks and 1 training track. The interest in speedway is growing, but I'm not sure about a GP haha...
