Absolutely... Absolutely...

You sure he won 5, Bob?

At 59 years of age, I don't consider myself "old". However, having followed speedway for 59 years, I will admit that many of my earliest memories are speedway related. It's really sad that I was not only that young, but all my heroes were that much older than me. I know it's life, but the last few years have been really hard on me as so many of these heroes have departed. Mirac, Ivan, Booey, Olle 'white boots", Pratty etc...

Sadly confirmed on Facebook by his son Tony. R.I.P. Al...

So, you weren't a famous author back then?

I was hoping that Tai could finish ahead of Janowski and Madsen as that would help his finishing position. It's weird how we had the riders in 5th, 6th, and 7th all in the final.

Why don't you tell us how it really is?

That's what I was thinking...

The same reason it hasn't been all season, and the same reason it wasn't allowed in the Olympics...

Proof that in ANY sport, the head is the single most important factor...

At least learn to spell his bloody name right, Steve!

And Emil chokes in the semi yet again...

To quote Nige and Kelv - Zmarzlik REALLY "didn't have the speed"...

Had Morris not drowned the track early on...

He screwed himself...

Great first turn from Fricke there...

That is weird!!!

Tai's got his gating boots on tonight...

And he was trying to regain second... Nowt wrong wi' that.

Remind you of a Dane???

What? Even though he doesn't want one?

Riders are often vulnerable on the outside. Doesn't mean you have to wave your opponents past...

Ah, I see... Perhaps the ref thought Emil took a "dive"...

Yeah, I have no idea why he was attempting to beat his opponents...

If they can exclude other riders after the race, why wasn't Zmarzlik excluded? Perhaps because it's in Torun?
