DutchGrasstrack

No Dutch riders, other then Theo Pijper, have speedway for an income. Usually the Dutch kids go the grasstrack/longtrack way and do some meetings in the weekends across Europe. It's hard for the Dutch kids to get noticed in the speedway scene, especially because it's such a small sport over here and we hardly have any meetings. Some choose to go on a German license to be able to do all the U21 events there, but other then that it ends with a combo between grasstrack/longtrack and a little speedway.

Full results here: http://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/118/onk-speedway-lelystad.html Very well run and positive event. The event was run very quickly (check the times) with some great racing. Very impressed by the group of young Danes that came over. They seem to loved it and will come back in the future, even for just a practice day. The KNMV (Dutch fed) was very happy with it, and we had no complains or whatever from anyone. The Lelystad club has now some new people in the organisation, including me, and we are working hard on getting the speedway back on track. New plans are made and we look forward to 2016

My pics here (also from the juniors): http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/873/max-fricke-wint-de-phil-crump-trophy-in-mildura.html Safe and sound back in NL after a long partly delayed trip back. Pretty cool Aussie trip and hope to be back next year. It seems the FIM is very ambitious of running more events in Australia in the future, so hope they will do the same next year.... maybe one of the U21 junior solo finals, would be cool

Teterow confirmed for 10.09.2016 So the calendar is coming more and more together... http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=79679&p=2642089

Track wasn't that great in the first few heats imo, especially in the first corner. FIM officials also came on the track after a run of crashes. Improved though with some great racing. The poles where loving it, both the riders as there supporters. Would have thought it would attract a bigger crowd....

October 22

My pics from practice here: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/862/speedway-gp-in-melbourne-van-start-met-de-training.html

5.136 people in the practice attendance

Biggest crowd I have ever seen at a GP practice

They are more then happy with the ticket sales. 18k was the target in year one.

Just arrived at the stadium. Corners are a bit narrow but not like in Tampere imo. Crump will do some first test laps in 20 minutes Over 25k tickets sold. Official length: 346 meters, so bigger then the other indoor tracks.

Teterow will be held in the fall according to the club

Does anyone know if there is any racing on the sunday in the Melbourne region?

The event will be restaged on 08.11.2015

This event is sadly cancelled due to the bad weather during the past days.
