  1. Weather update, today was very very warm and sunny (around +25-27 °C around 80 °F) tomorrow will be the same with around +22 °C (72 °F) in the evening. I don't expect very good racing, they will probably water it as much as possible but it will be difficult when it is so warm and sunny. Then the sun doesn't set until 21:38. So hope for the best but don't expect anything like the meeting from Kumla earlier in this week. I haven't seen any mentions of how good/bad the ticket sales have gone so far but I would expect maybe 5000-7000 or something like that, it is very hard to know what to expect. The sunny weather hopefully brings an extra 1000 or so to the attendance. Some short fatcs about the track; opened in 2002. Length is 335, banking in first bend is 8%, banking in second bend is 4%. Start/finish line is quite early into the straight and gating is usually pretty even. Capacity: 10'000 is possible, over that will get it very crowded and during the latest 5 years have been some parking problems due some moron building a large go-cart track all over the that until then was a parking place. Attendance record: league meeting; 8353 Smederna vs. Masarna, July 1st 2003. play off: Smederna-Kaparna, 2003 final, 8626. Sep. 24th 2003. Grand Prix: not sure, mayne 10-11'000.
  2. point limit is 10.250 and is based on heat averages. You can find allot more info here: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67537
  3. That is correct, or be to be precise, track name (and location) is Sannahed (just south of Kumla).
  4. "Larsen kunne ikke vinde alene for Munkebo". An article about Munkebo's loss against Slangerup. http://www.fyens.dk/Sport/Larsen-kunne-ikke-vinde-alene-for-Munkebo/artikel/2511053#sportfyn.dk
  5. Great news. Former speedway rider Billy Forsberg have decided to make a comback after 5 years away from Speedway. http://nt.se/sport/han-nysatsar-i-vargarna-9829966.aspx http://www.vargarnaspeedway.se/uncategorized/billy-forsberg-gor-comeback-i-vargarna/ An interview with Grigorij Laguta. http://www1.idrottonline.se/SmedernaSpeedwayforening-MotorcykelochSnoskoter/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/GrigorijLagutaDetkommerblienunderbarkvall/
  6. For my team: Kids aged 11 and younger enter for free, while kids/teens aged 12-16 pays 50kr (£5). Ages and prices varies slightly between tracks. Riders are only paid when the ride so I don't think the squad itself costs that much extra.,
  7. I guess you could say that, he have been riding for Indianerna since 2000 and they are the only team he have ridden for in Sweden.
  8. Next week will be the opposite. Vetlanda is one of the worst tracks in Elitserien. Rarely much passing, A typical "Hampel-track" with gate and leader after first bend wins the heat.
  9. Dackarna defeated Västervik with 48-42, Rospiggarna defeated Vargarna with 52-38.
  10. 3898 in the attendance in the Småland derby in Målilla between Dackarna and Västervik.
  11. 3436 is the attendance in Hallstavik in the meeting between Rospiggarna and Vargarna.
  12. Heat 9 in Motala, Oliver Berntzon goes out and shows the back wheel. to Darcy and Simon Gustafsson
  13. I told you so and heat 7 was also very good. Now track grading.
  14. I know from personal experience that when the top guys is replaced by riders of lesser quality those bums seats will be fewer.
  15. MP, well Indianerna haven't really performed well either. live results as always at http://www.svemo.se/Speedway Meeting slightly delayed due problem with the start gate.
  16. Rules say all riders with lower average+the rider with the closest higher average. Daniel Davidsson's season entry average is 1.263 which means that Ricky Kling, Pontus Aspgren and Martin Vaculik can take the R/R heats. Either of Kling and Aspgren will have to take two R/R heats.
  17. Well it is the European Championship and I don't see how an Australian Federation can get any allocations? I'm not saying I'm correct or anything but if Schlein has a British license, surely it has to go through British Speedway organisations rather then ACU? I don't know how your system works with British and Australian riders and changing what country the license is licensed by.
