My photo's can be found here: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/761/engeland-verbaasd-vriend-en-vijand-tijdens-het-wk-voor-teams-.html Absolutly brilliant meeting with four teams giving it all. I'm not a big longtrack fan, but yesterday was awesome! Superb meeting with more passing then most speedway meetings nowadays, and that on those crazy high speeds, epic!
