chunky Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 I don't think it is an active speedway nation, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there was speedway in Poland back in the 1950s. I think some New Zealanders went out there to race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Yes, i think the Belgium rider had got a bit mixed up, and instead of travelling to Portsmouth, Hampshire in 1935 had instead taken the boat to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which happens to be in the US and A. On realising his mistake, he went to New York, where he met Benny Kaufman, quite possibly had a coffee with Jimmy Gibb and had an offer to join the Putt Mossman troupe. I think he turned them down as he had a great idea to start a Belgian brewery in NYÂ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
