Hi Mark, I went to Gorican this year (by car). It's very easy to get there, it's a few miles from the Hungarian border and the stadium is between Gorican and Donji Kraljevec, you can't miss it . I stayed in 'Hotel Golf' (with a few GP riders haha). That hotel is located in Donji Vidovec and is rougly 20 minutes located from the track. Payed around 35 pounds (I think) for a double room (per night). The food isn't very good though, and they can't speak English very well, so that was a bit difficult.

Result from Veenoord: 1. Mariusz Fierlej 2. Henrik Moller 3. David Bellego 4. Jari Makinen 5. Theo Pijper 6. Henry vd Steen 7. Tomasz Piszcz 8. Marcel Helfer 9. Anders Vad 10. Pascal Swart 11. Sjoerd Rozenberg 12. Nick Lourens 13. Dennis Helfer 14. Thomas Sorensen 15. Randy Oldenziel 16. Manuel Hauzinger 17. Lars Zandvliet And I also have some shocking news, Blijham is going to stage an qualifing round for the Speedway GP Qualifiers next year . Hope they will 'install' a airfence because I'm not sure if the riders will like the iron fence .

Well I can answer this my self now there is a Italian team meeting in Terenzano on 25/09, start at 15.00 (local time) . It's about 3 hours from Gorican. There is also ofcourse the final (1st leg) of the Extra league in Leszno, starts at 19.30 (local time), but that is 10 hours away from Gorican .

Lineup for the Golden Helmet meeting in Veenoord next saturday (24th): Marius Fierlej POL Mateusz Borowicz POL David Bellego FRA Marcel Helfer GER Jari Mäkinen FIN Thomas Sørensen DK Anders Vad DK Theo Pijper NL Sjoerd Rozenberg NL Henry van der Steen NL Pascal Swart NL Randy Oldenziel NL Jeffrey Woortman NL Nick Lourens NL tba SWE tba SWE Reserve: Dennis Helfer GER

At the moment 2 rounds have been run, the last one will be on 02.10 in Lelystad indeed. The KNMV will try to run another round this season, but I don't think that will happen. To complete the championship there has the be run at least one round.

They cancelled the meeting on wednesday because the track was flooded.

The meeting in Blijham has been cancelled.

As the title says.... does anybody know if there are any speedway meetings after the Gorican GP? Thanksssssssss.

Very good weekend indeed I also went to Cloppenburg, superb meeting. Didn't realy expect that the meeting in Belgium was going ahead, we arrived at 8am and it was raining soooo bad.

Yes, there is a club meeting on sunday in Lelystad. The meeting starts at 12.15, the practice is at 11.00. Don't expect big names or something there, mostly there are classic riders, kids on 125cc and a few 500cc riders on modern bikes.

Anybody heard of Arslan Fayzulin yet? Arslan is a 12 year old Russian speedway rider, started racing on a 250cc with the age of 11. I've seen this (little) boy last sunday in Norden (Germany) in the 250cc class and he was flying, I think he was even faster as some of the 500cc boys there. See his website/blog: http://arslanracing.blogspot.com/. He wasn't a very good gater so he had to come from the back in some heats and already showed that he is a good passer and racer. Shame he fell of in his last heat other wise he would have won the meeting. Photo. Arslan was competing in the DMSB youth 250cc training camp last week with 2 training days in Nordhastedt and also 2 training days in Dohren, they finished the training camp with the meeting in Norden. Also competing was British rider Robert Lambert. He also looked very good!!
