That would appear to be outdated information, see below. I've just done a double check of around five other websites and they all have Smolinski not riding and Denis Nosov as a reserve. Mind you, as ever with speedway we shall wait and see who turns up lol. Indeed due to the long track event carrying FIM precedence over the european final.

As it says in the supplementary regulations the first race is indeed scheduled for 6:15pm . I was aware of that and was going to add a footnote to that effect, as i did with the Croatian GP last week. I made a point of telling people not to panic if they could not find a web stream for the 'scheduled/widely listed' top of the hour start. Reason being that the 'staging' of the meeting begins on the hour, but that includes the parade and the racing usually starts ten minutes or so later. Whilst a lot of the feeds include the surrounding tv broadcast - beginning at the top of the hour, sometimes earlier - some streams only come on just before the first race. However, nearly all listings of the event will always quote the top of the hour. That will usually include the staging clubs website and sports and media outlets listing for the event. It's quite rare to see literature giving the time of the first heat as in the manner of the supplementary regulations. Check out any GP, or to be honest, pretty much any speedway event staged

This meeting with some good riders in is scheduled to be broadcast on the web. Therefore, i've produced one of my Score-As-You-View race cards. It has the usual associated features of extended colour coded heat by heat line-ups. In addition to the traditional score chart there is an accumulative meeting score for each rider in every heat etc. Score-As-You-View European Final Race Card

Forgot to mention i also enlarged the next card specifically the row heights

Thank you that's great to hear. You'll be slightly more pleased with the next one as i've added two minor tweaks that pretty much makes the finished version. For those of us who like to trust our own judgement or simply beat the Sky team to their announcement before the advertisement break ends, i've delineated the series of five heat 'rounds' to assist in speedy count back for when it reverts to rider head-to-head tiebreakers. Also, made a slight visual change to the main rider score grid (which, by the way, is still a whole grid). Once again it's a tweak to render instant comprehension of the information to the eye at a single glance. Only trouble i used to find with the Speedway Star grid is where it introduces three columns in the midst of a riders five heats. If one attempts to have a quick tot up of a riders points for the meeting it is very easy to mistakenly include the aforesaid columns as 'white helmet' rides. Soooooo.....all told that leaves the 'Score-As-You-View' SGP race card with the following features. Extended colour coded heat-by-heat line up's. Surnames only capitalization (makes a big difference when quickly scanning a card). For every single heat a riders accumulative meeting and series points. To enable speedy filling in of the above info their next race is colour referenced. Heat 'rounds' clearly delineated to assist in rider count back in head-to-head tiebreaker situations. Single grid, traditional meeting score chart. The above strongly delineated into heats, main meeting total, s-final and final and subsequent total points. Series standings before and after grid. Accumulative gate points and gate wins grid. Various meeting and series info and a 'Notes' box. Fill in as few or as many of the available features as you personally wish.

Specific to Gorican and less than ten hours to go to restaging of the meeting, if accurate (and check for any drastic changes in the forecast) Sunday is supposed to be CLEAR 21 degrees and every day after rain, rain, rain. wunderground weather Gorican, Croatia

Sheer lack of time prevents me from doing so this season, however, if i can find the time i will gladly make available TOTALLY FREE to everyone my own GP spreadsheet that i use. Again and again it has proved far more accurate than the information given to you by the background staff and commentators at the Sky tv studio. Do you remember recent comical blunders such as these that i referred to a little while ago? 'Very surprisingly, even Sam and the studio team were guilty of a comical blunder surrounding the qualifiers. They were genuinely surprised and stunned to see Nicki Pedersen walk up to collect his starting grid placard. They had been prattling on for over five minutes or so totally ignorant of their mistake.' 'Tonight was just plain comical. Ad nauseum they repeatedly said Golllob and Hampel were level at the top of the series standings......noooo! they weren't! To be honest one didn't even need a spreadsheet to work out the points of the riders, they went through the workings and still got it wrong!' '....when it comes to them working out the impending semi-final qualifiers they often get the permutations wrong. At least i'm safe in the knowledge of always being aware of what IS at stake for each rider in the final round of races.' I'm no computer expert but even i've managed to cobble up an impressive spreadsheet for the SGP that updates everything after each race faultlessly. Enter the race result in 3,2,1,0 and whatever letters you personally prefer for engine failures, falls and various types of exclusions and hey presto; 1. The traditional score grid gets filled in. 2. Another view has the traditional score grid with riders sorted in order of total points. Crucially, tied riders are obviously sorted by race wins, second and third places with, as per rules, a non-finish ranking lower than a last place. 3. The series table is instantly updated and sorted in points order. 4. Every single heat has next to the riders name the accumulative meeting and series points Most of all it will be 100% FREE.

Draw has been made and direct link to race card (in the race card thread there is a choice of race cards made available). 'Score-As-You-View' 2010 Croatian GP Race Card

You're welcome. All the tedious work has now been done in compiling this first one ever. In the future it's no sweat at all just possible minor tweaks and the entering in of the meetings riders and the series standings. The server is the only one grafting now lol.

I'm presuming you are not referring to the 'circles' in the gate points/wins grid as you specifically said 'riders' column. The first three columns after the riders name in the heats are heat points, total meeting points and total series points. For the beginning of the meeting (first four heats, the first round of rides i prefilled in the latter two columns for convenience. Going into their first ride the riders obviously have zero points. Their series points are also known so i added them as well. They are hard coded in so one can't remove them. The card is designed so that you can fill in as much or as little of the sections as you so wish. I'll be adding an email to my speedway site for feedback in a day or so. If anything in the race cards displeases or pleases all views are taken on board. It's my first shot at doing one.

Draw has been made and direct link to race card 'Score-As-You-View' 2010 Croatian GP Race Card

I've put together my first SGP race card for Saturday's Croatian grand prix. Once the draw has been made tomorrow i'll provide a direct link. I think all three main providers of the race cards now give distinct formats to cover most tastes without having to duplicate or change features to match others. I've done mine in my usual 'Score-As-You-View' style and added specific new features for the SGP competition. One can fill in as much or as little of the available info as one desires. As with previous cards for the World Cup and SGP Challenge i use extended colour coding and capitalization of rider's surnames to make for quick scanning of the card. In addition to the traditional score grid, for the SGP, i've added fields next to each rider for accumulative meeting and series scores for each race. To enable speedy filling in of these i have added a colour link to a rider's next race. It only takes a second to scribble the running totals in for their next heat. Current GP standings are listed with a space to add the new total after the meeting is over. If it's your thing, there is a grid for accumulative gate points and gate wins.

Whoaaaaa! my 'lovely woman' is missing tonight.....noooooo! is she meeting you? The Bundesliga thing was more an observation that in view of the popularity of their team, they could get away with charging more for tickets. Also, that those terrace tickets are good value for money when compared to the surroundings of most speedway 'stadia'. No biggie really just a passing point. Anyways, have a good night out.

Really can't see that remotely having a chance of happening. I'd certainly leave the sport behind if something as crazy as that took place.

Artem should also be a candidate for rider of the night. Five wins the most of any rider and the nearest challengers to that only three wins. Before you take me to task, bear in mind he wasn't the only rider to have an extra ride, Kolodziej, Lindback, Lingren and Zetterstrom those who did. Also, maybe he had engine problems in his single duck egg ride?, as finishing behind Stead and Gapinski didn't tally with his other performances. Oh Yeah he won the meeting too

Artem had 4 wins already hope he gets a fifth in his run-off. Alhough just delighted he's got through.

Forgot to check that i think it goes to run-offs? Haven't got time to check

Artem Laguta has got a race against riders already out and points of 5,3 and 2 against his 9. A win he's through, a second run-off stuff?

'Come on Laguta' seconded. Last round of races coming up, 9 point's won't cut it so that leaves, 11 J.KOLODZIEJ 10 A.LINDBACK 9 A.LAGUTA (who has finished ahead of lindgren in their race) 9 F.LINDGREN 8 M.ZETTERSTROM 7 N.K.IVERSEN

You can also open your sopcast player and simply type in 56947 into the sopcast url bar, no need to visit another website first. High quality feed no glitches so far.

Not Roman Poazhny's night despite 5 points from two rides. A tape exclusion and a fall (remount). Watching him go to the roof right now, phew! he gone to watch the race thought he was going to jump off it.

Give up lol! Just about getting used to people making a new post for info that is on a previous page, literally previous not buried in the thread. Mothorsen just glance up a couple of posts above yours on this same page, i gave a link for the updates heat-by-heat instantly available. You got time to catch up it's another interval

Agree with Bradford Ace strongly, i'd love the russians to go through. Emil isn't a one-off with his racing style. But at the moment a pole and two swedes in front after three rounds of racing.

Lol gave update link just in time before fred went awol. Sopcast 56947 excellent replacement.

I'm finding the fred feed still solid and good picture. If anyone loses their stream temporarily and wants to catch up their scorecard there is an update heat-by-heat at heat updates
