The Finns are putting Joonas Kylmäkorpi and Kaj Laukkanen in to the Tarnow qualifier.

According to speedwaystar.net, this is now 100 %, and total number of rounds is 10.

All my best to Darija and co! A great place, seen and heard trough pictures the place. Only bad thing in all this is that I have no excuse to visit the place the coming year... But I hope there's gonna be he time, that Scott Nicholls wins a GP at Gorican, and (if not securing the title) will secure his place in the GP the next year ON MERIT! lmao * 90 in a slight stage of intoxication... Have a great saturday evening Sube!

I wonder if Subedei still has the energy to name a few riders without such merit's..

Thank you very much, mission accomplished.

When did this SS in question come out? Is it the 26th...

I have something for you, but eatmyshale@hotmail.com doesn't take e-mail. If anyone know's this fellow, please ask him to contact me, mate. No worries!! and the finger thing

Tommy Flyktman is riding on a finnish license this year, for Kuusankoski MK. I understand he's a part of the finnish national team as well. Conkers, our friend JB flew to play in Norway before we could close a date. I wonder if he's as fast in his moves on a bike

I would think you are pretty safe as long as the reserve policy stays (U21). It's been now adopted in Finland and the UK, and I believe the swedes have a similar system.

It's an official story here that the Daugavpils team is riding in the finnish league next year, at least that's what I've understood. Busy summer...

PirMM which is a local club here in Tampere, and since yesterday one that I'm a member of has applied to host an individual meeting on 19th of February. It's a sunday, and the racing would probably start around 18.00. Details are yet unknown, but the target is to have a meeting with plenty of racing, not necessarily top names! And yes! this an important date!! Ryanair operates between Stanstedt and Tampere, the "Pyynikki" stadium where the meeting will be held is in the center of the city about 15 minutes from the airport.

In seven games Jason Bonsignore scored 4+1, and was left without a contract. I take that he's gonna go home, so there goes that interview...

So friday is practise day at Bydgoszcz, and a work day for the trainers. This is something I did not know. I guess they have a similar day in Sweden? But not at UK, because most of them dont own their tracks, and because of the limitations to their abilities to use the track? A few question about the rules. Do you have points limit? Are reserves counted in it? A rider like Kasprzak who I'd imagine has a big avg. compared to some other U21 reserve, does it matter if he number 6 or 7 in his team? Or is the reserve with higher avg always number 6? (sorry if this has been covered earlier)

Finnish league will be run on 4 man teams, with #4 being a finnish U21 rider. That makes it "3+1". Every team is able to track two foreigners in one meeting. There will be no points limit, except a minimum for the three riders in the "main body" of the team. There will be an ice racing qualifier @ Kuusankoski 14-15th of January -06, and the individual speedway final 1st of July @ Seinäjoki as a one-off meeting. There might be some qualifiers, but that remains to be seen.

I've been under the impression that Polish speedway is always the first to get organised for the coming season? But the team building lists looked very quiet! Also something that has troubled me is the trainers in Polish and Swedish clubs, what's their role?

It certainly did for the speedway star this summer! Thats how I got to know this story. And also why I thought I had no obligation to explain. Pelicans are playing here in three weeks, might have to go to that one!

Apparently he couldn't get a deal to play ice hockey in the NHL this season, so he came to play for the Pelicans from Lahti. Scored 3+0 yesterday against Lukko from Rauma. I wonder if he's already been to the Lahti track at Pipo?

Is there one that isn't?

Does anyone have any info on the relations between FIM and UEM. Because I remember reading the UEM rulebook, and in many cases it stated that you should look to the FIM book for further detail. If UEM runs under FIM's control, then I'd think that sort's that out. I'm not 100% sure about these nominations, Hans for example. I cant put a finger on what has happened that justifys Puk and Zagar getting the nod over Hans? I hope he sue's the b¤#¤#d's!

Missing riders being british wasn't the point I was trying to make. It was the missing riders, QUALITY riders...

On this I'm with a bunch of british speedway fans who think this whole Euro Champs is just a (thought I'd say another but I dont know if theres any?) political move by the EUM to gain power in the world of governing bodies. I went trough the qualis earlier and noticed that not one brit took part in this! It's nice that Laukkanen was third, but look what TNT said earlier. This is great news for finnish speedway if it gets any publicity, because the general public doesn't know how little this comp actually means in the world of speedway. Laukkanen won his semi on a track he's ridden for over twenty years, and he's no stranger in Lonigo either. Well done the Dryml's, I do hope Lukas is really coming back after a lean spell! The wildcard scenario is something that I find a bit odd, because the GP is run by BSI with FIM, where as the UEM are trying to live under/compete with FIM in my opinion. Oh, and I dont think winning this comp has made JBJ one of the top15 in the world...

I need some help! I sent my brother to watch/cover this meeting, he did okay for a first-timer (see his notes), but a few heat times are missing! Can somebody help!!??

Why would anyone say a thing like that? You honestly think 4000+ post's in roughly 200 days is too much... I wonder how many of them are anti Nicholls/Richardson...

Can anyone help with the line-up for monday @ Prague?
