f-s-p

Basic copycat mentality in all motorsport. If yourr not as good as Tai, buy his gloves, leathers, engine or carb and you will improve. But naturally you wont as you are hsit and you wont improve without practising over and over again...

Now that you've given me something to pick up on... ...and thats it's biggest problem, lack of riders. Because there arent enough, stupid rules hav to be written that everyone can ride everywhere. And when they get injured, hsit hit's the fan. Build from the ground up, but put the focus on increasing the number of riders. By doing that, you get new people in to the sport, new connections, new money, new volunteers... Especially this last sentence needs to happen quick, as the people that are currently keeping this boat afloat are getting old, tired and eventually broke...

I'm more in favour of "more than one"... Would put a smiley, but this is not fun.

Kylmäkorpi on twitter this week saying he's been using rev limiters all year and done min 89 heats between services.

Just finished reading my morning paper where there was talk about the latest politician arrest's in Russia. They outright said that stuff like this is most likely part of behind the scenes power struggle in the goverment. So stuff happens in Russia and just one confiscated bike on the border can define someone's future in sport for quite a few years. So why take the risk? After the mentioned 2010 race off one Finnish rider turned back from his EC ice speedway trip when the border control wanted some paperwork that was not actually needed. At the same time another one was cleared to enter just at another checkpoint. EDIT: And one of the Danish riders think did have his bike taken when they visited Russia for the u21 team final a few years back.

The people that have given the Challenge for Togliatti are aware of all the problems. Guess we just have to trust that all the issues are sorted and no one will have their van turned back at the border or bike forbidden entry due a lack of brown envelope.

That site is not on my rotation... Saw the same piece of info on some Smoli interview...

So you read speedweek.de? = )

... and also gives the best chance for Team GB to win their Event and make the final. Kind of true that one as well, sorry.

Rasmus Jensen did it in 2015, Timo Lahti in 2016. The interpretation? Of the rule changed with RJ case, so same rules now for everybody and I'm happy.

Doesnt matter, they can ride on SML allocation slots.

We've applied for two or three riders for both SEC and SGP qualis. Expecting 1-2 gp and hopefully 2 SEC slots. And F U too for undermining us. The way your system is crashing down ATM will see you passing us on the way down in the not too distant future...

Yeah, realistically. Porin Nopea Racing actually won it having used two different Elitserien riders (Kylmä and Edberg) and one PL rider (Lunna). And we would actually be the closest to have a team without a huge fuss of who's allowed to appear for who. EDIT: Forgot to add that if it's ever ridden again.

I dont have a problem with BSPA or ACU hosting a SEC round. My problem is that all FIM Europe fed's had until Sep 30th to apply for allocations slots. Having received them (what I would have done) theyve combined the lists, seen how many applicants and how many slots and made a preliminary list of how it's done. They had a big conference last weekend to go over things like this. Now if they start taking late entries 6 weeks after deadline from fed's that have a history of not giving a ffökc, I think thats wrong. Mainly because I know Poland is not the one having to give their slots away, it's the smaller countries like us. Dont like that at all...

Yeah well they should. One Sport is the promoter of SEC, a FIM Europe competition. Now that FIME has sent out application sheets with a date on them, cant see how it's up to OneSport to change that. it's called breaking the rules at a very basic level.

And Ham is possibly back on his feet in that sense?

The fact is that at this point there are no fixtures to clash in Europe for speedway 2017. I find it a bit odd that Konikiewicz is in fact asking in twitter for ACU riders for a wildcard, as the deadline for feds was 5 weeks ago. EDIT: another tweet asking riders to put pressure on ACU. So like said, deadline is long gone...

So this is fact then?

Has said on Twitter he's not gonna take part.

They are clubs in Poland, not companys/promotions. Probably same people that went bust started a new one, took over the reigns and so on... All this is kind of a joke of the century. They have all these rules and league licenses that dont mean a turd... money rules at the end of the day and sunday EL fixture list needs a full roster.

Have you had any work done this week, or the stuff you normally do?

Scouted social media for pics and theres one of Np and barbie with Nicki with his neck brace. I had to do it because no one was spilling the beans on the subject! LOL

What was that about when they were theowing some blue/white in the air??? Someone secure his spot for 2017??? Having huge difficulties understanding Polish commentary... EDIT: greg won it, was trying to find a pub with c+ when that happened.

Anyone 1 thrown points yet?
