f-s-p

Bank holiday as in thursday, May 30th this year. Also the only place of the ones mentioned that Ive been to, went there for swc quali. Has a unique shape for the LT and with cheap beer and 15k people might be a good place to see longtrack racing.

Dont think even Polish cars move forward for under 20 cents a kilometer if you really do the math. It’s still just a hobby.

With 2 months to go it’s announced that the U21 reserve has to take atleast one ride. EDIT: sorry, 3 months as its in the rules dated Feb 5th.

Good for Tani to get a ride

Nordic final is good to go 2day at Bollnäs SE. https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/IndividualDrivingSchedule/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Isracing&Columns=CompetitionInfo,Branch,Name,Arena,FromDateShort&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=6&CompetitionId=10129

You're correct 100 %. And it was a fair bit of travel involved, not my thing for the next few years. Just that I'm overqualified on the speedway side. But it would probably be better for the next MDS who's gonna re-negotiate the deals with the Polish cities and make it happen in Australia to not no bugger all about the situation...

U really need to be a believer to see the stadium run in five years time unless serious money is pumped in to it NOW. I'd be worried.

The position was open for applications a few weeks back. Included negotiating all the deals with tracks and promoters and so on. I didn't apply.

I’ve called him names as well, to no result...

I’ve tried to get banned a few times, got really drunk and just let the flow come and posted but it has never materialised! What U do???

Finnish final, title #7 for Järf. 1. Mats Järf, VMK 11+3+3 2. Matti Isoaho, OMK 12+2+2 3. Christer Biskop, KMS 13+1 4. Tomi Tani, VRT 15+0 5. Jussi Nyrönen, P-KMK 10+1 6. Tomi Norola, SeMK 10+0 7. Mikko Mäkinen, ValkMK 9 8. Jani-Pekka Koivula, KaMoKe 9 9. Riku Laurunen, PirMM 8 10. Jukka-Pekka Seppä, VaMP 5 11. Markku Larronmaa, VRT 5 12. Andrew Barret, SeMK 4 13. Timo Kankkunen, P-KMK 3 14. Timo Smed, OMK 2 15. Jarno Siltakoski, OMK 2 16. Jero Kirilov, PirMM 1 17. Tommi Suolammi, TamMC 0 18. Teppo Toivola, A-SMP 0 It was a decent meeting with a great final race. Järf gated and was gone but plenty of passing behind him. At one time it looked like Tani takes second and then it was Biskops to lose. But then on lap three backstraight Isoaho passed them both from the inside diving in to turn 3... Kankkunen blew an engine having crossed the line in his first and later withdrew. Järf also blew an engine but won two heats on Biskops bike while his mech’s changed his spare on the bike. Barrett was in the mix all meeting but fell in his last.

Whats up with Karachintsev? Not seen his name this year.

You did, not others. surprisingly konikiwic blames svemo.

Väldigt tråkig is not the same as boring.

Excellent. Beginning of the end for SEC series trying to bully FMN's under PZM and Szymanski.

Yes but I know a few people and chatted to few others from the UK, people that have been going to speedway for decades and are anoraks in one way or other regarding speedway. It's in a way fascinating what kind of systems they've built regarding how they fill their programs during meetings and all the info THEY can read from it afterwards... Regarding ponders... I've never actually managed the Mylaps-system, just played with it a little and been to races where it's used. But say you really could start the clock by releasing the tapes, that would (sort of, not definite) give the time for the riders that they pass the wires for the first time. So in effect you could create a similar system to mx, where I understand the first guy to hit 1st bend gets a trophy... Over here they talk about making the "Holeshot"

I dont, but I've seen some pretty interesting methods on keeping track on overtaking and gating... And I mean in writing, not any fancy iPad applications..

Only seen it done once and the process was to rip-open the track from all width of the track about 5 meters behind the tapes and about 20 in front. So it's not about working with that one bad gate, but to prepare them all the same way. Just read the interview from Spar myself and still cant believe why they are talking about the chance to pick your gates… Thats bollocks

With transponders they give the system a ”hit” when they cross the line. So no, it will start timing when you cross the line, not when tapes go up. And yes, it does not matter at all where your ponder is on friday. But as they are supposed to ve used for close finished in the meeting, it matters a great deal.

What about riders having engines just for fridays time trials... One for use, one spare both built for that one minute fast one and then serviced for the next round??? They’d cost 5500€ each if I’d buy them.

Inside the fork cover that is supplied by BSI and cant be fiddled with. I said so earlier. EDIT: or if the system is rfid based you put the sticker on top of the front axle to the outside fork.

If you mean a mudguard, that could fall. Not sure if its a direct disquali for that though.

This is a step towards making riders wanting to ride the practise instead of an Ekstraliga meeting. Thats it. But if lets say six of 16 are away from practise and are under the lottery, what difference does it make? Bugger all. Add one 5 mins of rain between heats 3-4 and all that was gained is gone. Politics.

For what I know there needs to be a set of wires either under the track surface or above it (that would mean about 2,5 meters). Dont know if theres a ponder that can be detected from 2,5 meters going 110 kmh. In RC cars its under the track, two wires separated by about 20cm. So the ponder goes between the two and is detected by the system and thats a hit. A bit like RFID if you know that system. so for the system to detect false starts the wires would need to cross the track at the white line and a bit after. In athletics I think they have sensors for movement in the start racks(?), F1 is probably based on gps but with speedway the riders would want to start downhill so the basic start position on all gates changed as the meeting progresses... Solution for a problem creating another problem?

There’s a seminudie of Zorn after the crash in facebook Isracing fans group. U might also want to try Antonin Trebenin site. Only showed one wound.
