DutchGrasstrack Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Latest news about the Blijham track.. The track is disapproved by the KNMV . So no racing there next year....

Conkers Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 When I was flying from Berlin to Amsterdam in March, we flew in over the North East Netherlands, near to the German Border. As the plane turned slightly, I could see three Oval tracks almost adjacent to each other. One was a tarmac track, but the other two looked like a red shale. Any ideas if this was one of these tracks DGT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchGrasstrack Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 @Bavarian, The FIM approved the track 2 years ago.... Pieter Visser (some guy of the KNMV) checked the track this year and the disapproved it because the fence isn't good (it's from steel), he can't understand how the FIM can approve the track. @Conkers, Did you saw this track (Roden) ? http://www.baansportfansite.nl/banen/Roden.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter Visser (some guy of the KNMV) checked the track this year and the disapproved it because the fence isn't good (it's from steel), he can't understand how the FIM can approve the track. @DutchGrasstrack But as far as I know there has never been any other fence at Blijham and it did not seem to be a problem in the eyes of the KNMV for all those years. Now all of a sudden it is - can't help it, but this looks like personal revenge to me. By the way, do You know what actually happened this year with that dispute between the KNMV and the track racing committee members who resigned mid-season? Does this have anything to do with it?

DutchGrasstrack Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Yep will do the Belgium News too . --- Last year a new club tried to start up Speedway again in Zolder (Belgium). And is was a succes ! They did 2 open-meetings, one in July and one in November. This year (2008) Zolder will host 2 rounds of the Dutch Championship: - 27 April - 13 July Currently Belgium got only 3 riders: - Guido Hulsman: 500cc Solo rider - Willy Kennis: 500cc Solo rider (classic) - Wim Kennis (son of Willy): going to start in 2008 on a 500cc solo bike, he rode in 2007 on a 125cc junior bike One other kid is also planning to ride, Glenn Haex, he's going to ride on a 125cc junior bike.

Vicar Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 So, what do you think, which rider from Belgium will start 27th april in Neustadt in European Championships quali? Who will start 6th july in Krsko in Junior European Championships quali? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) From what I've heard is that a Dutch rider, Eddie Turksema, is going to start riding again... under a Belgium licence... so I think he's going to Neustadt Donau.. For Krsko... I don't know... don't think Wim Kennis is ready for it yet (he don't have a 500cc yet though) but if he's going I'm sure it will be a great experience for him .

DutchGrasstrack Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Not much info about the 27 Apr meeting.... all I know is that 3 classes (Dutch Open) will ride surely, Speedway Senioren (500cc Solo A), Speedway Nationalen (500cc Solo B ) and 125 Specials (125cc 4-stroke). No times yet. Track is very easy to reach... it's near the N719 between Heusen & Zolder.. .
