Apparently there is going to be a test between the youngster of both nations
at Smallmead on Monday July 10th.
Don't know any of the names yet and it is still subject to confirmation but
it should please you Aus fans out there!

Yes, I can confirm that Soren Sjosten sadly died in early 1999 in his native
Sweden.
Although he was a brilliant rider, Soren's life went on a downwards spiral
from the mid-seventies. He suffered the death of his father, loss of
driving license through a drink-drive offence, divorce and the death of his
brother within a few years. I'm a little sorry to write this - Soren was a
boyhood hero of mine too.

Yes Soren did pass away, I think it was late last year. The way to
pronounce his name was something like Shsosten, j being silent. His small
stature made for an exciting riding style. What a lovely person he was and
it was a shame that his lifestyle deteriorated somewhat after being such a
wonderful speedway rider.

Not too sure about Soren but his brother Christer who mainly rode for Poole
in England plus a few matches for Wembley, Coatbridge and Exeter lost his
life in a racing accident at the Brisbane Exhibiton Grounds back in
1979-80.

Edinburgh Monarchs 60: Arena Essex 30
Premier League
Lothian Arena, Armadale
Saturday 23rd June 2000
Edinburgh produced their biggest win of the season against an Arena Essex
side returning to Armadale less than two weeks after their previous visit.
The evening was warm but had several threatening clouds overhead but
remained dry throughout.
Despite the big margin of victory there were a few decent heats.
Both teams were at full strength. Arena Essex had Savalas Clouting back
after injury and new signing Justin Elkins.
Colin White won the toss and took gates 1 and 3 in the opening heat.
Heat 1: Robert Eriksson, Colin White, Gary Corbett, Will Beveridge [58.1]
Robert Eriksson and Will Beveridge were first away but Beveridge got into
trouble on the second bend under pressure from White and slipped to last.
He tried to get past Corbett on the third bend but fell.
(3-3) (3-3)
Heat 2: Blair Scott, Christian Henry, Justin Elkins [60.1]
All four riders were closely bunched going into the second bend when three
of them became tangled up. Barrie Evans was rather unfortunate to be
excluded from the re-run. Blair Scott made the gate and was followed by
Justin Elkins and Christian Henry who were side-by-side. This continued for
a lap or so until Henry finally seemed to have got his nose in front.
Justin then characteristically slowed down with apparent engine failure
before getting going again when half a lap behind.
(5-1) (8-4)
Heat 3: Peter Carr, Ross Brady, Jan Pedersen, Matt Read [58.3]
Carr and Brady made starts and took an easy heat maximum. Ross Brady
appeared to blow his engine after crossing the line.
(5-1) (13-5)
Heat 4: Kevin Little, Savalas Clouting, Christian Henry [58.9]
Justin Elkins suffered an engine failure on the start line. Kevin Little
made an outside sweep to head Clouting. The former Ipswich rider never gave
up and pushed Little all the way.
(4-2) (17-7)
Heat 5: Peter Carr, Colin White, Gary Corbett [57.7]
Ross Brady was excluded under two minutes and Blair Scott came in. Peter
Carr headed the field with Scott third behind White. Corbett managed to
slip inside Scott to tie the heat.
(3-3) (20-10)
Heat 6: Robert Eriksson, Savalas Clouting, Barrie Evans [58.7]
Eriksson led from Beveridge with Clouting trying everything to pass.
Beveridge managed to stay ahead right through to the last lap when he
suffered mechanical problems going into the third bend. Barrie Evans
finished the heat but was later ruled out of the meeting by the track doctor.
(3-3) (23-13)
Heat 7: Blair Scott, Kevin Little, Jan Pedersen, Matt Read [59.2]
Scott and Little took another easy 5-1 from Pedersen.
(5-1) (28-14)
Heat 8: Colin White, Gary Corbett, Christian Henry, Will Beveridge [60.1]
Colin White replaced Elkins as a tactical substitute. This reunited the
White-Corbett partnership and enabled Arena Essex to hit back with a 5-1 to
reduce the margin to ten points.
(1-5) (29-19)
Heat 9: Peter Carr, Ross Brady, Justin Elkins [61.4]
Justin Elkins came in as a reserve replacement for Evans. He had a decent
race chasing the fast gating Ross Brady all the way. Savalas Clouting
retired when lying fourth.
(5-1) (34-20)
Heat 10: Robert Eriksson, Jan Pedersen, Will Beveridge, Matt Read [59.3]
Robert Eriksson gated ahead of Beveridge. Jan Pedersen passed Beveridge
second.
(4-2) (38-22)
Heat 11: Blair Scott, Kevin Little, Colin White [59.9]
This was probably the best race of the night with Blair Scott, Kevin Little
and Gary Corbett battling it out ahead of Colin White. Corbett had one last
try to get at least second place when he hit the fence on the last bend.
(5-1) (43-23)
Heat 12: Peter Carr, Gary Corbett, Christian Henry, Justin Elkins [58.2]
Gary Corbett replaced Matt Read as a tactical substitute and Justin Elkins
came in for Evans as a reserve change. Peter Carr won easily from Corbett
and Henry.
(4-2) (47-25)
Heat 13: Robert Eriksson, Kevin Little, Colin White [58.9]
Eriksson and Little surged ahead for another heat maximum.
(5-1) (52-26)
Heat 14: Blair Scott, Jan Pedersen, Matt Read, Ross Brady [59.6]
Matt Read replaced Elkins as a tactical substitute. Ross Brady made the
gate but hit problems on the second band and lost a lot of ground. Blair
Scott came through to lead and held off Pedersen. Ross Brady was unable to
make up the ground he lost on the second bend.
(3-3) (55-29)
Heat 15: Peter Carr, Robert Eriksson, Colin White, Gary Corbett [58.4]
Gary Corbett replaced Matt Read as a tactical substitute and Justin Elkins
came in for Evans as a reserve change. Peter Carr won easily from Corbett
and Henry.
(5-1) (60-30)

The three Edinburgh heat leaders all recorded maximums without much
difficulty. Ross Brady also looked good for a paid maximum but suffered a
two-minute exclusion and messed up heat 14. Blair Scott was also denied a
full maximum by Brady's exclusion by running last when he replaced Brady in
heat 5. Blair won all his scheduled rides.
Will Beveridge was again desperately unlucky. He rode quite well but only
collected one point. He was denied a paid win in heat 6 by a last lap
breakdown. He did appear to find the second bend tricky. He is due a big
payday and it will come sooner rather than later. Christian Henry was not
quite happy with new his ex Ivan Mauger engine describing it as 'flat'. He
certainly looked competitive.
Colin White and Gary Corbett never gave up for Arena Essex and battled for
every point. Corbett was unlucky not to get something out of heat 12 when
he fell on the last bend. Savalas Clouting started with five straight heat
wins at Purfleet before getting injured. He found out how hard Premier
League racing can be in his first visit to Armadale.
Pedersen posted a score of 6 but should have been able to score more from
second string. Matt Read had another miserable Armadale meeting. Barrie
Evans withdrew early on. Justin Elkins had a typical meeting that reminded
everyone of his spell with Edinburgh last year.
Man of the match: Take your pick!
Next meeting: v Workington, Premier League, Derwent Park on Saturday 24th
June 2000

Does anyone on the list have any memories of the late great Gordon Guasco,
the Australian rider who rode for Wolverhampton in 1965 and 1966 and for
Poole Pirates in 1969 and 1970 before losing his life in a track crash in
Australia. I have recently received an e-mail from Elaine, Gordon's wife who
passes on her regards to her friends in England and around the world.
I would like to produce an article on Gordon for Wolfcry, the Wolves
speedway fanzine, so any information would be appreciated, and I can put you
in touch with Elaine if anyone wishes to contact her...
Best Wishes,
Mark Rowe.
