I always believed a long track had to be between 500 and 1,000m.. Seems I was wrong. It was. But because the FIM wanted to try and broaden the popularity they changed the rules. I think maybe from memory Gollob was at first mooted as possible wild card. But not too sure now after all these years Ine of the local tracks to me, Mulmshorn I think is 500m and another Scheessel is 1,000. Also another that is rarely used Hechthausen is fairly small Not too sure there was a lack of 1,000m tracks, maybe more a lack of those that wanted to host a GP. I think Parchim almost went bust hosting one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Didn't realise Stephan Katt was still going! Does Matthias Kroger still ride longtrack too? Stan Burza must be nearly about 50 by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernd Diener is 60 and he should have been in this year's series, and did ride in the Challenge missing qualification for next year's series by a single place. Edit: and with Hummel and Pijper finishing in the series top 7 Diener should be in the GP next year Edited September 28, 2020 by arnieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems I was wrong. anything to get the Poles involves i guess, so they can take over that sport too. i remember Diener at Schessell in '94 or '95 when Tatum won his first title, he was no spring chicken then! i've seen him at the Poacher in the last few years too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 The PZM actually proposed to run a Final in Rzeszow, FIM was quite suprised and happily accepted as there aren't much other longtrack venues that can run a Final meeting these days.

f-s-p Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Longtrack needs taking over. Not really sure what anyone could do with it, but it’s not getting better if CCP is the promoter of it for 20 days a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
