iris123 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Remember reading maybe a decade ago that there was some problem.Not sure if he wasn't that liked in Russia.Long time ago,so can't remember the details now and the problem might have been Franky's rather than the Russians,but he always seems to go to Sweden to train rather than Russia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conkers Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Tickets for Inzell secured. Does anyone know when the Heerenveen tickets will be released? It`ll be my first trip to this venue. Any advise on getting from Amsterdam airport to Heerenveen. Am flying in on the friday morning? Keep an eye on the website http://www.ijsspeedway-assen.nl/en/ as the tickets can be bought there. Not available yet though. I ended up hiring a car last year to get to/from Heerenveen. When they staged meetings at Assen, it was easy to get the train to Schipol in time to check in for my flight, but the Sunday train from Heerenveen didn't get me to Schipol in time to catch my flight home. If you are staying until Monday however, the Train is the cheapest option.

Whilet they want the Russians to win, there is a growing number who think encouraging western riders to race in domestic fixtures can only be good for the sport. On other matters, Doug, are we going to be able to have that pint next season? I'm at Berlin Inzell and Heerenveen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a short notice thing,in that i hope i have done enough(too much)work and they say i have to have a couple of weeks off before the start of the new work year.i.e April.Could be Berlin as my girlfriends niece has just moved back or Heerenveen as i could persuade her to have a trip to Cheese and pushbike land,but won't be Inzell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) Come to Heerenveen, best place on the calendar Must say we had a wonderful time at Assen.I enjoyed the ice speedway and my girlfriend enjoyed the shops.I enjoyed meeting Ian in Groningen and my girlfriend enjoyed the shops But the weather was wonderful and some of the scenery like the little fortress town near the German border ,which we were lucky to visit when they had a little festival was great Edited November 6, 2017 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Ore Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Whilst not very high up in the rankings the Swiss Chamiponships and Open Individual Meeting are scheduled for 20th and 21st January at Champex Lac subject to the lake freezing sufficiently to support a track. Back up dates are 10 and 11 February. Looks to be a very picturesque venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmet Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hopefully the British boys will be there as well . Who'll be the British boys this season ? - and is there any change by the ACU as to nominating for the WMs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conkers Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 . Who'll be the British boys this season ? - and is there any change by the ACU as to nominating for the WMs ? I was speaking to Roger Newton at Buxton before the end of the speedway season. Provisionally he intends to go to practice in Sweden, however this all depends on some family matters, which could change his plans. I believe Rob Irvine will be riding again, although I haven't spoken to him for a while. He rode in Switzerland and at Heerenveen last season. As for anyone else, its a case of wait and see. If a couple of the ex-motocross lads who have dabbled in speedway had a go, I think they may do well, as many of the Russians are motocrossers during the summer. It would be interesting to see them have a crack on the ice. I did jokingly say to Aiden Collins he should have a go on the Ice. He'd love to have a try, but the cost puts him, and I suspect a lot of potential riders, off. As for your other question, I don't have any information about that.

We have snow expected everywhere in the next few days,even in the low areas.In the mountains we have had snow for a few weeks,but it is expected to be good for winter sports at the weekend Just seen that Tobi Busch is off to Russia,so he must have a 'safe' destination to train or he is going to be driving all that way for nothing Edited November 28, 2017 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Vyatskiye Polyany Thanks. Nice little town out there... and the probable host of the EC final in Feb. Here are Swedish Isracingserien dates https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Serie/Audience/AudienceStatistics.aspx?SerieId=1058 . My guess is that the meeting scheduled for 27th of July is actually January of that same year. If I'm correct, then sportowefakty has/had it wrong. EDIT: the swedish sr is online at fimlive Edited November 29, 2017 by f-s-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
