Ukraine Speedway- Rovno

Hi, my name is Igor Sokolovskiy. I live in Ukraine, Rovno.
Speedway in our city came in 1959, when in Rovno was opened the first in the Soviet Union a special stadium for races on speedway. It is Rovno in his debut in speedway Viktor Trofimov, and it happened April 30, 1960.
He appeared in 1962 in the USSR national team 15 times in a row started in the Individual World Championships.
I do statistics Rovno speedway, and I can clarify about one race in England next.

June 9, 1976 the USSR national team played its third match in England. On the track at Belle Vue Aces were stronger.
But the items in the guests a little incorrect.
Vladimir Paznikov claimed in the race for number 8, three starts in place of Nikolai Kornev. But all the time, finished fourth. That he is pictured in the fight against Kristian Praestbro.
But Viktor Kuznetsov - teammate Vladimir Paznikov in Novosibirsk Sibir', then do not got 2, and 3 points. The remaining riders are unchanged.

I hope that you may be interested.

Best regards, Igor Sokolovskiy. Ukraine, Rovno.
