Fundraiser for Sönke Petersen by German National Team! For the benefit of the heavily injured Sönke Petersen the German National Team started a fundraiser with the slogan: “Stand up! We support you!” With this campaign the team wants to support his teammate as well as his family. Teammanager René Schäfer therefor opened a fundraising account. “Sönkes fate is a tragedy where all of us are asked to help him with the means that are available to us.” Schäfer also emphasized that 100% of the funds will be forwarded to Sönke: “Every single cent that will be transferred to the fundraising account will be given to Sönke.” The opening of the fundraising account is only the start for further activities to support Sönke. “Tobias Kroner contacted me and offered me his help. Further some clubs signalized to participate in benefit activities to help him”, Schäfer said.

Hefe and Smoli been riding pretty well... Martin fighting till the end and Hefe had realy good starts and had lot of pain after his accident with Morten Risager. A realy good meeting

Maybe Togliatti will have a FIM Meeting in 2009. Personaly i think a russian GP 2009 is possible...

are there any riders confirmed for Golden Spike Series ? Will be at Steingaden...

@ Conkers should be the best way. I traveled for a week of holiday by train from Karlsruhe to Saalfelden via. Salzburg. From Salzburg its 60-75 minutes by train. Try to get a room at lenzing. Its totaly near the track. If not Taxi isn't so much expensive or go by bus to "Saalfelden Lenzing Schule" Then its just a walk to the track.

@ Conkers what would you like to know about Saalfelden? Been there last year. But had no racing due to the warm weather...

Gelsenkirchen has a three year contract, so i think it will bo on the fixture list next year

Now Martin Smolinski is german Champion !!!

Second Place went to Pavel Hlib ahead of Slovenian Martin Vaculik. He beat Austrian Friedrich Wallner, who rode impressive, in an run off for third place. Other qualified riders are Adrian Gomolski/ Poland, Matej Küs/ Czech Republik and Frank Facher/ Germany. Qualified reserve rider for Semi-finals is Richard Speiser/ Germany. Bad luck for local rider Max Dilger who had engine failures and had an excluded fall whilst leading. He lost eight points, caused by engine failures.

Yes my opinion too.. Some Years ago there has been a series of 6 or Seven Meetings in group south and north for the U21 Juniors to qualify for the final.. Now we have2 or three meetings.. no second and third Bundesliga like we had some years ago. Smolinski, Hefenbrock, Stange, Schultz, Kroner and some others have been the result of these U21 Series.. The youngsters had a lot of meetings... Now I have to see riders who aren't strong enough for the Bundesliga riding against Magosi and Hefenbrock... Boring heats...
