iris123 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 This isn't speedway is it?Thought Vechta was grass track or longtrack......isn't this the track with a tree in the centre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Well the surface is speedway-ish, but it called a longtrack indeed, the track is about 550 meters long. The trees have been removed a couple years ago I believe, no sign of trees anymore on Google Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same track, Vechta, on Sept. 9th is the FIM 250cc Long Track YGT ! (Are the bikes any different? - Rear suspension? Brakes ? ) The British win was reported on this site's Youth Speedway section, - Zach Wajtknecht . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yes it was the Grasstrack Youth Gold Trophy, apparently the word 'grasstrack' or 'longtrack' means nothing if you look at the tracks they use in these meetings. It just has to be bigger then a speedway track... The 250cc is going to be held on the same track in Vechta, the bikes they use are just like the 'normal' grasstrack/longtrack bikes but with a smaller engine. The kids on the 125cc bikes usually use their same bike(s) on speedway or grasstrack/longtrack tracks. They don't use brakes.
