peatbog Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Don't they hold this Golden helmet meeting every year??????Or am i thinking of something else I think it's this one http://209.85.229.132/translate_c?hl=en&am...NpWbkIQMAawvXEw I saw this last year on Sat Tv channel CT4 Sport, I think there are about 40 heats with between 4 and 6 riders in each race. It's worth watching if you get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchGrasstrack Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The last Golden Helmet Metting was in 2005, won by Sebastian Alden from Sweden. A new club restarted Belgian Speedway in 2007 with a couple club meetings. This is the first Golden Helmet edition after 2005 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Results of the CZECH Golden Helmet / Zlata Prilba, from 1999 to 2008 can be found here : http://speedway.vmnet.cz/?new_lang=en Format is 36 riders, 32 races, 6 riders in a race I'd love to see 6 riders try to get round this place, if more than 2 hit the 1st bend together, they dont come out of it. Unless of course they've widened the track since my last visit. Taking the wife and a couple of friends over this weekend. At least it should be a close meeting, cant see any obvious stars in the line-up who will walk away with the "coveted title".

Conkers Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) Jesper, commiserations on your meeting, but I notice there was a rider called Maurin Vochteloo. Any relation to former Ice Racer Weibe? Hope to see you in March at least. EDIT: One thing: My son informs me that Lee Geary used to be the guitarist in Method In Madness, and used to spanner for Billy Janirro, but apparently does ride Edited September 6, 2009 by Conkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
