well it usually isn't at Vetlanda. Some rain is on the way though and it might help to improve the racing.

race card for tonight: http://www.mediafire...9c79clcp2f6w4ue live updates: http://ta.svemo.se/P...petitionId=1702 streaming available at premiersports.tv

they might get some rain in the Vetlanda area just before or during the meeting, judging by the radar images.

Linus Sundström suffered a concussion and a broken shoulder from last night's crash. So i am pretty sure that they will use R/R for him tomorrow. http://sverigesradio...artikel=5275278

Yes: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=71246

They do have two weeks to appeal, some article says that its only a document that is required, other articles SSI says that Valsarna still owes money to former riders. So i'll guess we'll have to wait and se.

Dackarna will most likely use R/R for Dudek. I think i have to agree with THJRacing, regarding Sundström. I think Piraterna will use R/R for him if he can't ride. Since Piotr Pawlicki also can't ride.

I've added teams and race card for Wednesday's semi final: race card link: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?w1d9ma8hcyxez97

Imo its hard to predict but perhaps about the same as Copenhagen? Especially since Stockholm as a city is nicer then Gothenburg and the stadium do have a roof like Cardiff.

Valsarna's appeal regarding elite license have been rejected while Hammarby have been approved. Valsarna's place in Elitserien will be offered to Vargarna.

Netherlands not Holland. And yes me and DutchGrasstrack have already decided to host a round in Arnhem.

Indianerna have been granted an Elite license for next season. Indianerna have also re-signed Mathias Thörnblom. Vargarna as well have been granted an Elite license for next season.

good race between KK and Holta, KK won by a 1mm.

on a side note, i just added the lineups for the leg 2 of the first semifinal in Swedish Elitserien.

Teams are out for Tuesday. Indianerna will go with strongest possible but Elit Vetlanda will not have Vaculik or Thorssell. They are replaced by THJ and Henric Lindqvist. race card: http://www.mediafire...9c79clcp2f6w4ue teams for Wednesday will be available tomorrow at 21.00 Swedish time at http://www.svemo.se/Grenar/Speedway/Elitserien/

Holta x'd. correct imo.

ouch new nasty crash. looks very painful. Big risk for a concussion.

well you can be over the minimum but it won't be a problem which is why the ref made a mistake by cancel the meeting.

I was on scene in Hallstavik for that meeting and one of his bikes did pack up. Kalle was at the start line for heat 11 when he suddenly pulled back from the tapes and pushed the bike onto the center green. From where i was standing it was quite obvious that Kalle wasn't particular happy judging by his body language. It took a "long" time before he he manages to get back onto the track but he did manage to prevent a 2min exclusion and went on to win the the heat with 5-1 together with Engman.

Why wasn't Katajisto riding in the U21 final?

Actually I don't think so since MJJ is Danish and is thereby free to choose for himself if he want to ride in Sweden or Britain. Swedish federation can only force Swedish riders to ride since as far as i know they have no power to force foreign riders to ride here.

No Vaculik in Vojens: http://speedwaygp.co...-hospital-tests Sounds to me that his problems are similar to those Janusz K had last year?

official attendance was 32xx, a good crowd but far from packed. Double it and it would start getting "crowded" but triple it and it will be packed.

Zorro interview: http://sverigesradio.se/sida/gruppsida.aspx?programid=37&grupp=3841&artikel=5269929

Results as well as statement from Smederna. http://www.ikarossme...ews&newsid=2480 "Igår hände det vi många hoppats på! Ikaros Smederna besegrade Rospiggarna och är klara för Elitserien år 2013." Yesterday it happened that many of us had hoped for. Smederna defeated Rospiggarna and are qualified* for Elitserien in 2013 "Det var en laginsats som gjorde att Ikaros Smederna är tillbaka i svensk speedways "finrum". Alla förare levererade och nu väntar ett hårt arbete för föreningen att se framemot.." It was a team effort that brought Smederna back intospeedway's finest room. All riders delivered and the club now have a hard work to look forward to. * its not really the exact translation but I couldn't come up with a better one at the moment. Judging by various statements on their website (see above) and twitter as well as the jerseys. It seems that they've already made the decision to step up. Its a very tough job no matter what league you are in. If you go to Elitserien it will cost much much more then Elitserien and it requires more sponsors and spectators. However with the new rules for Elitserien and Allsvenskan, staying in Allsvenskan might risk getting your team drained on good Swedish riders, like Berntzon, Kling, Eklöf as the Elitserien teams needs to have one additional Swedish rider next year. btw found a picture at Tarabanko's twitter. Who's the guy to the left? The guy on the right on the other hand is Zetters, forum member and one of Smederna's two announcers. https://distilleryimage2.s3.amazonaws.com/c7b1533cfded11e19e9622000a1c9e07_7.jpg
