Ha ha,it wasn't meant to be a how many brothers and sisters have ridden speedway.Just a thread to show a tv report on these guys :P

 

As it is I think ex Halifax rider Kurt Hansens son and daughter both ride speedway in Denmark

Peter Collins sister ( Anne ) rode at Wembley indoors against Ove Fundin's daughter in a race off.

Without looking it up , I cannot remeber the year

Ann Collins raced against Pauline Bastable (sister of Steve), not sure where or when, but it was the American lady racer Bobbi Hunter who raced against Ove's daughter at Wembley.

Danish rider Ernst Bogh's daughter also rode for a bit.............

 

There are a few women coming through the ranks in the USA (Courtney Crone, Sara Cords and Hayley Perrault spring to mind)

 

And Carly Gittus took part in the Rob Woffinden classic at the weekend.............

 

Good to see the women giving it a go............

No.Steffanie Jensen.I remember seeing her ride 80cc in a team with another young girl(Nanna Jorgensen),who eventually signed, just for publicity purposes for a polish team.Never rode for them though.I think Stef had a bad accident and broke her leg maybe very soon after moving on to 500cc

Sandra Bogh is the best female rider I have seen. Danish U21Champion.

 

I saw her ride at Motala in a w u21 championship meeting.Very impressive display.

Carley Gittus started in the junior solos at Bibra Lake (track closed in 2003) and has been a regular at Pinjar Park ever since. This year another lady rider Jessica Boujos (wife of Tim Boujos) started riding after making her name in road racing. Several female riders in the junior ranks here too.

Don't have time to give that much of a summary today,but the basics are talking about the rivalry between her and her brother and how he always wins,but she is getting closer and closer.Her mum thinks it is dangerous,but still comes to support them.She has a trainer,Rene Woytazcek who is an ex East German rider who I think still turns out in one or two oldie meetings,but often her dad stands in and trains them.From memeory Rene took them round the track at teterow before the meeting giving them tips,such as part of the track was in the shade and wouldn't dry out so be careful of different conditions and to keep the helmet right down as coming out of one bend they will be riding into the sun and could be riding blind for a second or two.And she enjoys cleaning up her equipment !!!!

 

All come over really well and a good advert for the sport I think
