  1. This 1974 single was Egpn Müller's biggest hit record ever - "Rock & Rollin' Speedway Man"
  2. Here You can listen to some of the latest Egon Müller Songs
  3. Austrian speedway rider of the 1950s Karl Killmeyer /the younger brother of pre-war rider Leopold Killmeyer) sang and recorded the "Speedway Fox", which became a quite pupular tune in Vienna ca,1953.
  4. No - definitely not. That is already confirmed by the club MC Güstrow - not SEC and no World U21 final at Güstrow round this year. It will be a second Polish track for the SEC finals.
  5. Same here in Germany, sports stadia (incl. Speedway tracks) are usually owned and payed for by the municipality and tax payer.
  6. Iwema's crash sequence photos are absolutely spectacular. Glad he got up on his feet again afterwards.

Andrew has fractured four vertebrae. Fortunately, these are stable fractures, and he has full movement and feeling. He has two broken ribs and concussion, but is expected to make a full recoverey from his injuries.
  8. There's no speedway in South Africa either anymore, but Castagna says they want to stage an SGP there. Likewise in Southeast Asia, which is another targeted area for an SGP.
  9. Castagna promised us that the SGP will be taken to new places outside of Europe. Here we go, to Patagonia in 2022 ! I only hope they will bring the SGP to Perth, now that would be a great location with a traditional speedway background !

  11. New Zealand's national sidecar championship at Gisborne this Weekend (Jan.17/18/19) was unfortunately completely rained-off (re-staging date t.b.a.)
  12. All of a sudden Perth seems to have become a top location for a speedway fan to be now with racing taking place at both Pinjar Park tracks AND the Kwinana Beach Motorplex.
  13. I have just watch the 3hr re-play on the Pinjar Park Facebook page of last night's second International match between Australia and Great Britain. Even though the racign wasn't overly exciting, this was a very enjoyable speedway meeting with lots of variety, not just the 15 heat match of the international solo teams, but also the support individual 500cc and 250cc solos, the 125cc Junior speedway pairs, and the big 1000cc sidcars racing. And great video coverage, too. Western Australia seem to be one of the few places in the world were solo and sidecar speedway is currently on the up again. Great to see that it is going so well there ! Keep up with it !
  14. Video of the events of the Friday night meeting at Pinjar Park can be found here https://www.facebook.com/PinjarPark/videos/vb.210176433026/2589982994579649/?type=2&theater

  16. Yes I have read it, but unfortunately it contains a lot of nonsense . Even the photograph of the Buffalo Stadium is wrong. It pictures the "old" Velodrome Buffalo, at Neuilly-sur-Seine, which was used only for cycle races from its inauguration in 1893 until it ceased operations during the First World War. But the motorcycle dirt-track racing never took place there, it took place in the Stade-Velodrome Buffalo, at Montrouge, which was a big multi sports stadium in Paris, built in 1922, that also hosted football, and rugby, as well as cycle races on a steeply banked concrete cycle track around the outer perimeters of the cinders track, which surrounded the rugby football pitch. It could accommodate 20,000 spectators. After the war the stadium even hosted stock car races. The Stadium was demolished in 1957. To give You an indication of how the Buffalo Stadium ("Stade-Vélodrome Buffalo") looked like in the 1930s here is a picture taken during a football match there.
  17. O.k., Jean Landru was a French speedway rider in the 1950s, but he did not feature in the pre-war meetings at the Paris Buffalo Stadium. He certainly wasn't a world champion!
  18. The result and point scorers for this international speedway test match can be found here http://www.internationalspeedway.co.uk/norscanvbr.htm
