The incident with Lahti was just speedway IMO. I’m a bit bummed about the Vojens track-gate. Being Olsen run, one would think theyd have a permanent track sorted for a meeting. I mean they can build a best ever track within a week from scratch on concrete, but cant keep their own backyard in order. WTF.

As the Holsted quali was originally set to be ridden at Varkaus FI, SML had two allocations. Mainly due to covid, ATM it looks like no Finns to Holsted.

Timi Salonen in LV for SML

Lahti Terenzano and Aarnio Glasgow

Okay regarding pricing, did not think of it that way. Just that one former promotion spring to mind that did the same and went bust. Hockey teams in Finland have always budgeted on too high crowds and so on...

Really? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen...

Dont they also postpone meetings due to poor weather forecast... So they can get a crowd in a week later....

Dan Bewley as in Bewley gearboxes? On his own kit at Pardu? Was flying, really good. Lahti... Hmmnn, One better start (/different draw) would have made huge difference. He showed what he can do, he did that last year, he should be in.

Seemed no Russia at the ice hockey either

Lahti will do 11 points from #1. Is that enough?

I meant this one...

Wasnt there a meeting staged already in CZ, so this will likely be ridden for real? Timo Lahti is the SML nominee.

Yeah well there is the chance I read it wrong during the day and really am an idiot...

I was gonna mention this on twitter, but people would call me an idiot and I’m not up for that today... It’s not cancelled, it’s moved to another location...

2 meter safety zone is required outside the fence. As for FIM track license (as in license for a track, not facilities) cant see it being as complicated as HA thinks.

Waste of time and effort.

Probably not. What about when a rider from this new league wants to jump ship to a league under BSPA during a season?

They will when a “breakaway league” rider wants a FIM licence without a valid FMN license from a member federation of FIM. Until then its non of their concern.

If its cancelled (not postponed) then why bother with the rest.

So two meetings organised in all of Europe this season. One with PZM money and the other with money raised by Jani Koivula and meeting organised by Kauhajoen Moottorikerho. Who would have thought!

It’s not on our news feed regularly anymore. When the ”political situation” started, I think Rivne was still gettin UEM meetings that never got ridden. I suspect covid will sort this year.

What is the political and/or war situation in Ukraine at the moment?

With some juggling the meeting is still on youtube. Isoaho won, suolammi had a spectacular off while second. Max has been riding ice now for two seasons. This was his first meeting, but he’s been riding regularly and weekly with his mates in the area.

Max to hospital with a knee injury. AAR disqualified so Max 3rd and SuoLammi and Isoaho to ride for the title.
