That's great. Hancock is a great ambassador for the USA. Go Greg. He's been at it a LONG time.

I met Greg a few years ago at one of the Anaheim races, super nice guy , I didn't even know He was this good until I looked his results up the next week.

I would really like to go see one of these in person some day.

He's had an unbelievable career,consistantly at the top and that's with doing over 100 meetings a season,he'll defend the title next year that goes without saying,it might be his last season,look up the Cardiff Speedway GP,if you ever get to one that's the best,Poland is a fairly close 2nd,both those have an awesome atmosphere,the fans are nuts,the weekend is one big party Smile

I know Greg pretty well, and WT aside, he's one of the nicest people on the planet. he's the last guy to leave the track EVER time, even on a shit night...

I'm so stoked he won this I cant begin to say. As with any champ, it takes effort and sacrifice to win, he and his family have earned a well deserved title...

Speed way is awesome. I grew up going to Fast Fridays almost every Friday in Auburn, CA. Watching guys like Bart Bast and his Dad Harlan(sp?). Saw Greg race it a few times too. Congrats on another world title Greg!

I was gonna say the same thing, Crump won it that year and I was bummed that they only had it on TV the one season.

Is there any way you can see the races live on the web? I love watching it but its hardly ever on the tv and when it is, its delayed coverage.

Remember Cal Expo at the rodeo ring having speedway races on Sat nites. Didn't last long; think when the Mile left so did speedway. Jimmy Sisemore was pretty good as well.

Very cool, I went to costa mesa to watch the speedway races, Hancock dominated. Congrats Greg! I remember thinking that the speedway track looked really small when you're watching it live. Incredible racing though.

That's cool. Croatia is a very pretty country. More Islands than Greece.

He has been at it along time, I saw him smash all comers at a race in Melbourne in the 80's or early 90's. He would mono the whole straight and was still winning buy a large margin
