I can tell you how many world champions Poland have had and even name them within 1 second.Not many countries you can do that with.All other speedway stuff is a side issue

Poland isn't known for its comedians and not for its speedway world champions either,but you are quite funny.......

Woffinden isn't really bothered about Ekstraliga.He uses it as practice and to get very many €'s in his pocket,so he can win things that matter

Very hard on the riders,but also hard to say someone would probably have qualified.King still had to go up against Smoli,Jedrzejak and Wölbert for instance.Could quite easily have come out of that with a zero.Find it very unfair when the heats aren't completed as it is pure luck who you have met at that stage.Looking at the Ljubjana U21 EM semi and the top 3 were due to meet in the next heat before it was abandoned,so someone was bound to drop points and Härtel looked to have his easiest heat and a few other should have picked up points or dropped them,so the end results would have been different .I know Kevin was happy to get out of the meeting without injury

Thing is as you have admitted,it was tried and scrapped.And if it was just because of a lip,i think people at the time would have been clever enough to think ok,we make it a 30 degree angle and job done.Doubt they just thought it had to have a lip or it won't work If you came up with a new idea,then ok,suck it and see.But you have just thought about an old idea that was kicked out after a number of seasons.In America they had wooden board tracks that went for a number of years and then were scrapped and haven't been resurrected even though they were very spectacular and even dangerous.Sure now they might be able to make them less dangerous,but times have moved on

This is a fact and no mistake.Since Jerzy was lucky to win the first title for Poland...... Denmark have won 13 titles Sweden have won 8 titles USA have won 7 titles UK have won 6 titles Australia have won 4 titles Even New Zealand managed 2 titles then we have the minnows of Germany + Poland who have both won 1 title each!!!!!! Think enough have been said on the subject.When Poland can get above Germany and New Zealand then come back and talk to us about world speedway

Fritz Dirtl has been mentioned a few times on this forum.Was in the same meeing in Vienna when a tragic accident happened to a polish rider who rode into concrete stairs that were incredibly over the track at the time.Dirtl himself was tragically killed in 1956 when another polish rider rode over his head after he had fallen http://www.reisemosaik.at/Oldtimer/Personen/Rennfahrer_Sandbahn.html#Dirtl Actually Gem,on the other thread previously you mentioned a rider,Sid Hipperson who flipped and had a bad accident.Are you saying this is another incident at the same track,as someone else mentioned Billy Bales having a bad accident at Leicester as well!!!

Yes,at individual level they have an amazingly poor record for one of the major speedway nations.On a par with the England football team at international level really.Even if you go to the lower level of European Championship their record isn't that great and they have the advantage there that Britain don't even enter,so should win more

Some people have a Prince Albert ring.Doesn't mean they are German or even fans of the Royalty

Some people have a confederate flag tattoo.Doesn't make them American

Hardly a gap between Hans going and Nicki P

One of those rare occurences when I agree with trees

No hard feelings towards Poland,just because some plank is pretending to be one to gain attention.They have though failed miserably at this level which is a surprise.And it will be a pity really when Hampel comes back as Lindgren is looking good and Hampel is normally boooooring!

Same here

Doesn't matter if you recognise Tai or not.He wears a British jacket and his titles go down officially as British.Like it or lump it,because carrying on only makes you look a bigger fool with each post

Ha ha.Your answer came as slow as your riders Even Wales have as many world titles as Poland!!!!

Turned out to be a cracking GP after a bit of a slow start.Great turnaround after last year.Let's hope for more of the same in years to come Need to get one if you want to win anything.The Norwegian didn't win much for you

Swiet as a nutski

85cc one?

Not brilliant,but been a couple of great races

That Polish rider obviously panicked under pressure.

Just out of interest,what is the capacity for speedway? See it never seems to have reached capacity for football.If wikepedia is correct it had a crowd of 57,500 for Poland v Ireland

I think it is an omen.....it has a certain ring about it,Narodowy Holder

If I have posted something that doesn't matter to you,why reply,fool Course it doesn't matter,it was just a tongue in cheek post If we go right back what about Sprout Elder?Did he reach his full potential or was maybe, his peak before speedway championships got going?
