Oferta Jancarz 2016.Pdf
Źródło zdjęć: Internet www.StalGorzow.pl Szanowni Państwo, Chcielibyśmy zaprosić Państwa do udziału w XIII Memoriale Edwarda Jancarza, turnieju żużlowym rozgrywanym 3 kwietnia 2016 roku na stadionie w Gorzowie Wielkopolskim. Edward Jancarz - ikona gorzowskiego speedway'a, który zapisał się na kartach historii jako jeden z najlepszych polskich żużlowców. Sześciokrotnie stawał na podium Indywidualnych Mistrzostw Polski, z kolei na arenie międzynarodowej aż dziesięciokrotnie miał okazję uczestniczyć w finałach Indywidualnych Mistrzostw Świata. Przez całą długą karierę sportową związany był ze swoim macierzystym klubem – Stalą Gorzów. Karierę zakończył, organizując w Gorzowie Wielkopolskim turniej pożegnalny w 1986 roku. Zmarł 11 stycznia 1992 roku. Jego imię nosi gorzowski stadion żużlowy oraz jedna z gorzowskich ulic. Jancarz jest także pierwszym żużlowcem na świecie, któremu postawiono pomnik. Uroczyste odsłonięcie nastąpiło w grudniu 2005 roku w Gorzowie Wielkopolskim. Dla uczczenia pamięci tego znakomitego zawodnika, od roku 1992 organizowany jest turniej memoriałowy. Jego pierwszym zwycięzcą został multimedalista rozgrywek żużlowych – Hans Nielsen. Na liście triumfatorów memoriału znajdują się także nazwiska takich zawodników jak: Tomasz Gollob, Gary Havelock, Joe Screen, Leigh Adams czy Rune Holta. Chociaż memoriał nie odbywał się regularnie - to cieszył się prestiżem - startowali w nim czołowi żużlowcy. Jak dotąd, tylko jednemu Polakowi udało się wygrać ten memoriał – Tomasz Gollob uczynił to dwukrotnie w 1998 i 1999. Zachęcamy bardzo gorąco do zapoznania się z naszą ofertą, wsparcia imprezy oraz do uczestnictwa w wydarzeniu historycznym, tak ważnym dla naszego Miasta i sportu jakim jest speedway. Z wyrazami szacunku Ireneusz Maciej Zmora Prezes Zarządu Stal Gorzów Wielkopolski S.A. www.StalGorzow.pl EDWARD JANCARZ Edward Jancarz urodził się 20 sierpnia 1946 roku w Gorzowie, z którym to miastem był związany przez całą karierę w Polsce. -

Steve Metcalf
Dream Team : Steve Metcalf First taken to the Shay, Halifax by my girlfriend in 1969 and was hooked immediately (by the racing not the girlfriend) followed the Dukes to Bradford until the sad demise. I tried Sheffield after moving down there to live, but it was not the same. Tend to watch on Sky now, but I am still tempted to return one day. Carter Jonsson Kenny Carter who else could it be? Got to know him briefly when I tried to get the company I worked for to sponsor him, and everything everybody else has said about him is true. Could be arrogant and self centred, but could also be great company. At his peak he was a genius, I will never forget going to Hyde Road when Chris Morton was red hot, and Kenny just destroyed him. Sadly missed. Doug Wyer Came to us probably past his peak, but seeing him beat the best in the world from the gate was worth the admission money (unfortunately he was just as likely to be last going into turn 3 after a lightning gate, until he got his equipment sorted out). Always entertaining and on his day could save a meeting for us. Per Jonsson I've included Per in my team, not just because he was a fantastic rider, but for the memory of seeing him take Gary Havelock and Joe Screen from the back at Odsal when they were trying to team ride him out. Havvy and Screeny were at the peak of their form and were "Kings" of Odsal but Per went high on the banking on turn 3, picked up tremendous speed and went through a gap that just wasn't there. -

Newcastle Speedway Brough Park a League History Volume Three 1981
Newcastle Speedway Brough Park A League History Volume Three 1981 to 1993 Compiled by Joe Wake 1 Foreword I was born in 1955 and was brought up in Blyth, Northumberland in the 1960’s. I discovered speedway when noticing the reports on the back page of the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. I pestered my father to take me and he eventually did. We both became hooked on the sport but as he was a police officer working shifts it meant we could only go every two weeks at the most. I did, on a couple of occasions, take the speedway special United bus which went from Ashington to Brough Park on a Monday night and picked up in Blyth but, for a schoolboy the, if I recall, 3s 9d bus fare together with the cost of admission and programme meant it was not possible to do so on a weekly basis. Brough Park closed at the end of the 1970 season. I went to one meeting each at Ashington and Sunderland but that was it until I attended the the reopening meeting at Brough Park in March 1975. I was then in my late teens, was working and liked socialising and between then and leaving the area to move to Northamptonshire in 1981 I probably saw no more than half a dozen meetings. Since then I have attended about twenty meetings with the latest being in 2005. I still follow the sport and have continued to subscribe to Speedway Star throughout but I, like many others, have become disillusioned with rule changes, guests, doubling up and down, the laughable double points joker etc. -
TIME WORLD FINAL What Would Happen If We
ALL TIME WORLD FINAL What would happen if we could line up all the greatest speedway riders from the different eras at the peak of their form? Who would be the ultimate World Champion? Of course this is impossible to answer but the one thing we do have are the statistics and, as a statistician, this question has fascinated me back to when I first started going to speedway in the 80s. There are several ways to look at the numbers and arguably a couple of riders have genuine claims to be the number 1 depending on how you look at things. I have attempted to reflect 'peak' form over a sensible period which does not overly reward those with long careers or unjustly punish those stars who shone only relatively briefly at the top level. I have included the Star Riders Finals, of the pre-1936 World Final years, and ‘British Championship’ meetings, when the official world final competitions were suspended due to the war; but have done so at a reduced level compared to ‘full’ finals. Also I have tried to adjust for incidents such as falls and engine failures which don't reflect a rider's actual scoring power at the time and also races such as Sam Ermolenko's last place in 1993 when he was already confirmed as champion so the result did not matter. Further I have tried to give the best adjustment between the GP results and the scoring of the old one-off finals so as not to give an advantage or disadvantage to those who competed under the differing formats.
