Olli-Pekka Mäki 1st timer, Kirilov has made previous attemps on international level as well. Long break in between though... https://www.facebook.com/pasiuponenphotography/ Pics from yesterdays Finnish final. https://pasiu.kuvat.fi/kuvat/The+Ice+Speedway+Finnish+Championship+Race+2017+at+Kauhajoki/

Sunday. Originally saturday, but moved to sunday to give riders time to get back home from Almaty. This happened about a month ago. No problems for Finnish riders this year, we have our final on saturday.

The qualis for this years SEC start on May 1st. Debrecen has been replaced by a track at Nagyhalasz, HU. Never heard, gmaps is showing a nice little round track near the town center. Anyone with more backround on the subject?

Well thats good news! Thanks

Is that British Eurosport? Checked the Finnish site and there's no mention... If I remember correctly, Finland is nowadays on it's own. There isn't even a "Nordic ES" anymore.

I'm told that part of the whole Euro Champs fiasko is that the Ufa club went bust late last year.

Me thinks BSI stream the SGP, not FIM. Big difference. EDIT: stream as in provide it and geoblock it if they want to.

Thats very interesting. Since it's against a very basic rule in speedway that you need 350-500cc engine in a speedway race. Good thing that the French sort out this legal and insurance wise, so if it's allowed, we can possibly adapt it ovee here. Cant see it happening though, too dangerous.

Saved your report... Great to hear.

Sweet Jesus!!! A non Russian in the final heat, must be almost a decade since this has happened... Where is Stefan Svensson from sundays list

Though this plays nicely in favour of me and my nightmares regarding the challenge later in the year, Weber apparently had some self-inflicted problems with paperwork...

Final is at Kauhajoki on Feb 25th. Mikko Jetsonen has declared himself unfit to ride this season, so 7+2 became 8+2 yesterday. After the Basic 20 heat quali yesterday they rode a semi and a final between the top six. Thats why some sources have different results to mine. https://pasiu.kuvat.fi/kuvat/+The+Ice+Speedway+Finnish+Championship+Qualifying+Race+at+Sastamala+2016/ pics from the meeting by a colleague. https://pasiu.kuvat.fi/kuvat/+The+Ice+Speedway+Finnish+Championship+Qualifying+Race+at+Sastamala+2016/_MG_4028.jpg

Seppänen on Facebook yesterday saying it should be all done in the next few days. Though you are right and we have had a rider in the series "always"?, would not be surprised if we missed out this year.

When I tried, was about 20eur more expensive than what I currently have as a replacement. Thanks anyway! Will keep trying occasionally. Have three different hotels booked ATM. EDIT: and now I have 4 since finally managed to secure Mercure central.

Getting a bit tired of trying to book Mercure central. I try daily with it showing it's full via Booking, yet everyday several bookings have been made... 26 today, 48 during tuesday... We have rooms, thats not a problem. But we want to go back to Mercure central..

Dont read Danish that well, but stories about money problems have been very rare since the current league format was introduced.

It was a good article in Spar regarding the engines, a real eye opener. Basically a single big enough reason to pay and buy that issue.

Different world (and track racing world also) then as well... Not a discussion I wish to enter due to lack of time though.

So the older Mustonen is close to getting a call to join then. He was the first to drop out after last season and already has stated that he will enter the qualis to be in the series in-18.

It's been over 40 in parts of Lapland over the week. Practise was cancelled last year as well, yes. For race day its gonna snow a bit with about -5. It's -23 here at Tampere, just put the warmer on my car... hope it's not in deep freeze and I can get to work...

SM helgen i Avesta körs den 30 juni – 2 juli.

Thats true. But it's a crappy business to get in to as a newcomer. I say this while holding the pricelist beside me. Anyway, not much help in digging the fence in to the track like in Swindon if the bike goes in first clearing it away.

A+ fences are mandatory in FIM speedway since yesterday. When talking of air fences, they are 15 % "deeper" than previous ones and a "flap" on the bottom thats dug in to the track to prevent anyone going under them. This rule change was introduced about a year ago along with forcing the start of the straights fencing being absorbant for the first 20 meters.

Yeah yeah yeah, but none of the Wright flights were dangering the safety in a speedway meeting. And on other news, watched a Youtube clip of drone racing in Dubai?, 250000dollars for the winning team, specially built track that looked AWESOME...
