The Polish national team has four test matches scheduled for the 2022 season. Their opposition is as yet unknown. Could Great Britian be invited over to Poland for a return match following last year's test defeat of the Poles at Glasgow? Is anything known about GB test matches in 2022 ?

AUSTRALIA v ENGLAND speedway tests were a highlight in our sport for such a long time. This is one of the last test series of the England Team touring Australia in 1994, and it is the first test at the world famous Sydney Showground Speedway Royale. Sadly gone and a thing of the past now!

Never knew that there ever was something like an official Australia v England Test Series in Long-Track Racing. But here it is from way back in 1983. Fascinating!

Sigvart Pedersen appeared only twice in the Norwegian Final, finishing eight in 1977 and fourth in 1978 He was third in the Norwegian Pairs Final of 1978 (with Thoralf Holen, representing NMK Grenland) He scored one point in his only appearance for Norway in the World Team Cup of 1978

Will the qualifying meeting at Ö-vik go ahead to day, or has it already been cancelled?

Who wants to see such a meeting in April? Perhaps around Christmas/New Year this gimmick could draw a crowd, but in April ?

A 1000m track like the one at Jübek is a great venue for Flat Track racing. Much better than the tiny 300m track at Nordhastedt, which is just to small and narrow for the Flat Track bikes.

An Australian SGP at the EKKA would be awesome !

There is a beautiful photo of the Brisbane Exhibition Ground Speedway (EKKA) on the back cover of this week's (w/e Nov 20) Speedway Star. What a great and historic venue for our sport.

Yes, Noah Moss is half Danish and half Korean. Thomas Sörensen was half Danish and half Sri Lankan. ... and that young German lad You mentioned is Mario Häusl (see picture below), whose father is from Munich and his mother from the Seychelles. He is even sporting the national flag of the Seychelles on his kevlars. He must be the first speedway riders ever to emerge form these Indian Ocean islands.

Great film about Ray Tauscher (aka Tauser) just watched it again in full length here https://thevintagent.com/2020/12/07/the-vintagent-selects-ray-thauscher/
