BigFatDave Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 from http://www.speedwaybikeaustralia.com/ KIDS HEAD FOR POLAND Former rider Mick Poole will head up a 10 strong team of riders and fathers heading for the Under 16 World Champion ships at Czestochowa in Poland. They leave on June 27 and return in Mid July. There will be 6 youngsters from down under competing and MA has kindly arranged matching race suits for the riders. Any Poms going?

Steve Turner Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Any Poms going? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you mean Pommie riders...? Then the answers 'No' - we don't have 80cc racing It'll be the usual...Danes (mostly), Swedes, Aussies and Poles...and maybe one or two others. Some great racing between the top kids, usually, I've gotta say Although I don't think the Polish tracks are well suited to 80cc racing. It works much better with banked tracks where gaining speed from the different lines makes up for the lack of pulling power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After two had qualified for the Final,one Danish dad came up and said "How did you mange that?We have been trying for a few years to qualify and not made it" And all that with very little official help from Australia.The attitude of the families and the riders was superb and i do feel it tells you something that they are willing to spend so much time,effort and money to get this done,whereas we haven't entered anyone. Last year there was even an entry from the US and that hot bed of speedway France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
