He had worked his years in the Pack without reproach. He was punctual, precise and demanding. When he was retired, he used to go to Pańków near Świdnica to the Kazimierz Mazurek Stud and help train horses. At work, he didn't let a handful of hay get wet. He cared more about horses than himself.

Paweł Mazurek, an excellent rider, drove horses trained by Władysław Adamczak, who was a teacher of horses bred by Kazimierz Mazurek, his father and by him.

In the book Sledding Sport in Poland, Anna Nowicka-Posłuszna and Marek Zaleski wrote:

“In the years 1970 – 1984, Władysław Adamczak participated in high-ranking competitions thirty times, including seven times in the World Championships and eight times in the European Championships. He was a competitor who prepared horses perfectly.

He was successful in Europe, in the World Championships, in meetings in Aachen. He only failed to win a medal in the Polish Championships. He was fourth. As the athletes say, the worst, because not medal. However, Władysław Adamczak's medals from the World and European Championships remained.
