apparently there won't be a Speedway Grand Prix at Landshut next year

it was pretty exciting in the end, what a close final

yes indeed it did

First leg of the final in the rain at Landshut today ended in a 39-all draw with the meeting being abandoned after heat 13. All to go for in the second leg match next Sunday at Gdansk.

what a one-sided playoff match

State leaders celebrate “revitalisation” in hi-vis jackets but for nearly a century, every brick, timber beam and arena boundary at the Brisbane Speedway Exhibition Ground (The Ekka) was forged through the blood, sweat and methanol of grassroots motorsport. This was the world’s colosseum, built brick by brick since 1926 by visionary legacy promoters like Frank Arthur, alongside sidecar pioneers, 500cc solo riders, midget kings and legends like our own Ron Johnson—“Big Bad Johno”—dubbed the “King of the Ekka” in Peter White’s reporting during the golden years as he charged from heavy handicaps to famous victories. This arena is hallowed ground. For decades, families scattered the ashes of their loved ones across the dirt oval, while 12 competitors tragically lost their lives on the track—sacrifices that went ignored without an official venue memorial for generations. To ensure their legacy, sacrifice and grieving families were finally recognised, Jocelyn Dare created a new memorial to honour the fallen and preserve the true history of Australian speedway. Australia produces world champions on the global stage, but back home, we can't even get a farewell lap at our most historic track. This was never just about the buildings. It was always about the community, a community that was robbed of the chance to celebrate a century of heritage together. We are not just losing concrete; we are losing sacred soil, a 100-year milestone and the cultural memory of our sport’s pioneers. A CALL TO THOSE WHO REMEMBER Did you race under the Ekka lights? Were you sitting in those grandstands as a kid with your family, smelling the methanol and dirt? Don’t let this history be swept under the rug. Drop your memories, stories, and photos in the comments below, share this post and tag every speedway family you know. It’s up to our community to ensure this 100-year legacy is never forgotten. Always was and always will be the soul of Grassroots Motorsport (16th October 1926).

Has there ever been speedway in Hong Kong? Well-known Australian promoter Frank Arthur had made advanced plans to introduce speedway there in 1960. It probably never happened, but why didn't it happen ?

He was only given just half a chance to prove himself, I would not so easily judge him outclassed in this competition.

not

No, he did not fall. He was excluded when Norick Blodorn fell, as there was a little bit of contact when Wright made an inside pass going into the third bend on lap one. Bit harsh to be excluded for that, but probably the right decision. Wright had failed to score a point in heat one, and after the exclusion in his secodn race, the Gorzow team manager substituted Wright in his other two rides. Tough on him, I'd say. He was certainly not outclassed in this competition.

Charles Wright makes his debut today for Stal Gorzow in the Polsih Ekstraliga match vs Torun
