Me too. Great minds......... Rain? Wot rain? Perfect day and always in awe of that new stand.

The old "Lada" joke. Customer. " Do you have a door handle for a Lada?" Salesaman "That's a fair swap". Join you shortly and hope the rain stays away. Alan.

Very pleased. NKI is a nice guy and deserved it. Still not a great meeting though, but we have a close race at the top with two young 'uns Take care all and join you in Poland tomorrow. Alan.

Emil's a very lucky lad, even in the semi it was Zagar almost wiping out Hampel that gave him his chance. Now he has to capitalise on his luck. Go Emil.

Credit where..... That was a good race. Well done Niels.

None of us are arguing with you.

The good news is folks, that next week ,in the European Championship Rd. 2 in Togliatti you will see a fantastic meeting in a fabulous stadium with a packed crowd. Honest!!! http://www.megalada.com/

I think it's fair after 12 heats to say " It's a good job i love this sport" and if i had a pub to go to............. Alan.

"Little Leon" Star!

"Wipe Out" was the Surfaris mate not the Beach Boys- luv 'em as we do. The things that really matter in life. Too often, it seems the rules get made up as we go along.

Poetic justice for Nicki really, since he did nothing wrong out of the gate in the first attempt. Not his greatest fan, but fair play to him.

I presume you are a satirist?

One good race between Nicki and Tai. Otherwise pretty much as expected. Lets hope the racing hots up as the temperature falls a bit.

Emil devours the Wheetabix.

It is strange how the Italian love of motorcycle sport doesn't extend to the best one! Emil needs to eat lots of Wheetabix between races to up his energy level..

They'll be bloody embarrassed next weekend when the rival European Championship plays out before a packed house in Togliatti in a splendid facility. Regards. Alan.

You're fine now that Artem is taking a later flight to Vladivostok and will ride for Smederna on Tuesday . 2 Polish meetings on a Thursday, plus two earlier Russian meetings would turn me into "Dirty Harry". "Go ahead, make my day" Regards. Alan.

From the website i worked it out that they are charging 7 pounds. Gray told us either last year or the year before that it was 3 pounds admission to a league match. We'll see on the day. The video here http://www.megalada.com/ should give people a glimpse of what is in store.. Just a gut feeling but i think this is going to be in front of a Mega packed house. I can't wait anyway. All the best . Alan PS. We were right yesterday in our suspicion that it was rained off.

" But do they use the local girls or do SEC hire their own? " Those Mega-Lada girls are really good- and "oomphy" as well. We'll find out on the day. I'd hire them any time!!! I think you are in for a very pleasant surprise Paul when you get your first glimpse of this Togliatti set-up. I guarantee that there will be a lot asking "Why can't we have a GP here ?" It really is that good. All the best. Alan.

From this brilliant stadium they will all be good. An embarrassment of riches. Plus the Mega-Lada start-line dollies. Sometimes life is good!! Regards. Alan.

All we need are a couple of Russian matches on the 15th and we have double super-duper Thursday. All the best. Alan.

That's the previous match mate. Pandorum and i ( and maybe 40,000 others!) chit chatted for about an hour and then gave up. The stream was superb on Ufanet- it just wasn't speedway. I checked back a couple of hours later, but it was still just various gymnastics and news reports. Sportowefakty still show that it was scheduled but no report. I'll wager 10 cents!! it was rained off, We'll see as the universe unfolds. At least Pandorum and i had company!! Regards. Alan.

Heat 3. A Togliati shoot-out.!! Bring it on. Alan.

esults / Schedule SK Oktyabrsky - Mega Lada Togliatti hours. 15:00 Still shown on Sportowfakty but i 'm thinking we may not get this. Shame. I wonder if it's been rained off? Now i've lost the stream too. Think i'll call it a day. We tried, we faithful fans!

Shame we don't know what's going on. The stream is superb quality. It's this or nowt mate!
