Like many Czech riders of the time, the Czechsolovak authorities rarely allowed riders to compete for British league teams but they did allow club sides such as Prague to tour the United Kingdom, which allowed Verner to race in Britain in 1967[3][4] and again in 1971.[5]
Verner won the bronze medal in the 1971 Czechoslovakian Individual Speedway Championship.[6] He also reached the final of the Individual Speedway Long Track World Championship in 1970.[7][8]
He was also part of the Czechoslovakian team that reached the final of the 1970 Speedway World Team Cup.[9][10]
On 24 March 1973, Verner set a new track record at the Letňa Avia, in Čakovice of 1:13.2.[11]
