Tom P on Speedway

First rode a speedway bike 12 years ago
How did you get involved in Speedway? My Dad used to ride and he used to talk about how great it was
Why Speedway? Because of the action
Biggest influence on your career Erik Gunderson and my Dad
Favourite track in England Ipswich
Favourite track in Denmark Holsted
Worst track in England I do not have any - if you think you do not like it then you will not do well
Favorite kind of track Nice and smooth - that makes for great racing
Most respected rival Everybody - you should never underestimate people
Worst Injury Breaking my Ankle and Arm at the same time
Best Meeting

1998 - in Italy while riding for Denmark, I scored my first ever Maximum

2000 -  I overtook Thomas Gollob at Ipswich, that was cool

2005 - I came from behind to beat Tony Richardson at Arena Essex and won the race, that was something else

Best races ever seen I think the 1981 between Bruce Penhall and Ole Olsen it still stands out in my mind

In 2002 Nicki Pedersen slowed a race down for Jason Crump to come from 15yards back to win and Kings Lynn got a 8-1 that was some team work
Most embarrassing moment There are to many!
All time 1-7 Bruce Penhall
Hans Nielsen
Tony Rickardsson
Leigh Adams
Jan O Pedersen
Michael Lee
Jason Crump
