I remember getting Simon Wigg and Phil Collin's autographs on Weymouth prom.. many many many many moons ago. Early eigties I believe.

Peterborough too last year I recall.. It doesn't seem to matter where it is, everyone else adapts very quickly. Except us.

The quality of rider on show should be able to ride anywhere.

She gorgeous... and she most definitely must be single. No woman with a fella keeps a figure like that, they all hit the pork pie, biscuits and chocolate after a few weeks of being shacked up.

Either way... I get the jest he's one disappointed promoter.

Such sad sad news. Thinking of her family, friends and everyone connected with Mildenhall Speedway at this present time.

A quick whizz copy and paste through the free online electoral role: Unfortunately it doesn't tell me what they are doing at the moment! * England 95 o East 24 + Cambridgeshire 7 + Essex 14 + Hertfordshire 1 + Norfolk 2 o London 16 + East London 1 + North London 1 + North West London 4 + South West London 5 + West London 5 o North East 2 + County Durham 2 o South East 28 + East Sussex 1 + Hampshire 9 + Middlesex 2 + Oxfordshire 7 + Surrey 2 + West Sussex 7 o South West 21 + Avon 1 + Devon 6 + Gloucestershire 5 + Somerset 3 + Wiltshire 6 o West Midlands 4 + Herefordshire 1 + Staffordshire 1 + West Midlands 2 * Wales 10 o Gwent 1 + Gwent 1 o South Wales 9 + Dyfed 1 + South Glamorgan 8

Does it really matter? There are plenty of Football clubs in financial difficulties each year... but the salaries are still paid. For me Gollob is earning what all top riders should be earning. He's got it mostly on default for being Polish, but you can't question the guy is talented. Surely you can't take any of that away from him... while clubs will pay it.. let him earn it.

Just my opinion, but I think the only rider that should be guaranteed a place is the current world champion. Everyone else should qualify on merit through a series of knock out rounds the previous season. Might keep the one off world final fans a bit happier too.

What makes the situation difficult to comprehend is if the accident had been on a track with a proper wooden perimeter safety fence, he most definitely would have lived to race another day!

Sidlo was in the race previous.. heat 14, this is where we think there is some confusion over the two incidents. The link both myself and CHK put up mentions Sidlo too, I assumed they meant seidl. There are too many names that are similar, even I got Raniszewski and Krzeszinski mixed up in a previous post and they don't even look the same.

Google won't translate that for me.

CHK, I found this which seems to back your theory up: http://www.speedway.hg.pl/zawodnicy/Biogra...KI_Zbigniew.htm Seidl is the other rider in the clip and Bishop was in the race. It also makes some claim that Raniszewski was riding with an injury and that he only decided to ride as a world qualifier was to be held in Vienna later and he wished to learn the track.

I've just realised Phil Bishop was a victim in the minibus accident at Lokeren!

According to a previous link: 14: Kamper, Kaiser, Sidlo, Krzeszinski F 4-2 45-38 So ironically Kamper was in the same fatal races of both Krzeszinski and Dirtl. It seems pretty obvious to us these days that it was an accident waiting to happen, but perhaps they thought "what are the chances of that happening". They understood the risks before riding, but it seems so tragic that even crudely roping off the area would have stopped man and machines careering under. Lets just hope the poor guy didn't suffer because if you were the nearest, would you have unhesitatingly rushed to help him?

Arthur Browning on bike

http://www.vcm-sbirky.cz/zlataprilba/historie_2.html There is a bit here on him... just needs translating.

http://www.raniszewski.com.pl/ RIP my friend.

Too true... after going on his training school a few years ago, spending the whole day getting sore.... then sit down and watch him do his demonstration. You wonder if the guy is invincible at his age. Such a nice guy to talk to as well.

Sorry it's off topic, but, is Nygren the only one that still does four laps on a bike?

There is a thread about it somewhere, but sad to say I believe the project was abandoned by the original owners. I don't know, but someone else may have took it on though.

Thank you for sharing.. great footage of a sad, but very familiar story.

Arrrrriiiii Arrrrriiiii Arrrrrriiiii Arrrrrriiiiii Arrrrrrriiiiii Arrrrriiiiii.... Great years!!! :approve:
