I just popped in but popping back out again lol. I guess i'll have to get my Polish and Russian fix by looking for a subsequent recording or you tube highlights. Enjoy it whilst i gently weep lol.

Many thanks seconded. I've got a fair bit of Billy Bragg's output but was unaware of this interview and had forgotten about the song. Very on the ball by the lady interviewer to question if it was 'speedway' as America knows it ie Cars. Thanks again.

I'm outta here the second this race ends, so if don't get to be here tomorrow, wish you all an enjoyable Polish speedway fest. It's to my eternal regret i rarely get to see Polish and Russian racing truly wonderful stuff on the whole.

Nice scalp on his debut there for Timo Lahti

Hope Lahti and MJJ got elbow protectors on they look conjoined lining up then.

Graphics showing Klindt on 6 points and he's got 9. Confirmed by the fact their team total for Holsted is 3 points short on that graphic. They show them on 34 but their rider scores only total 31. NIce racing in heat 10. MJJ getting a very high percentage of his team's points tonight, to put it mildly. Goodness me that reminds me where is you know who? All drivers are in season opener assigned a category (A, B, C or D), where A is the absolute top drivers, B-drivers are the drivers which is just below the absolute elite C-drivers are drivers with a certain experience while D-drivers primarily the new Danish talents. In order to create exciting race lays down rules for how the team should be composed of the day. Team total value shall be 24 and must be at least 19 Includes: A drivers with the value 8 B drivers with the value 6 C riders with the value 3 D drivers of value 1 There must be max. be an A-running team.* There must be max. to be three B-riders on the team. There must be max. be three drivers who are not Danish parent club and Danish license. The team must consist of at least a D-drivers or alternatively a U21-running Danish parent club and Danish license. *That might read as if a team must include an A rider. However, one presumes it means a maximum of one can take part. Google translate does have trouble with the little words, but God Bless them makes a speedway fans life so enriched and informed than it could ever be without them..

And how's that working out for you with a Danish TV broadcast.....let me guess it's absolute hell lol. Don't ever trust the graphics. Go by your own eyes 100%. Do try to check the race jacket numbers in case of doubt and trust that you are likely to be right 99% of the time lol. They talking about him now, one day Google Translate will automatically translate the audible words too.

Keep forgetting about that there are two matches broadcast too. I will likely be out for some of the afternoon though.

Lol i was going to self-deprecate along those lines at the time of posting.

I gave those details once before and also the link for the full regulations for Danish speedway competitions. If nobody else links to them i'll post them later on, but i'm multi-tasking right now and i'm not a woman lol lol.

MJJ nice 6 points there but graphics confusing. I'm sure it listed Lauridsen despite Kikkenborg being scheduled. I looked to see his race jacket number and think it was 4 (Kikkenborg) but i was at a distance. Oh well got to heat 7 without getting muddled. Was a joker double points.

Polish according to a most superb website for riders scores and meeting results. The rider page is http://speedwayresults.com/riders.php I always fear that the bloke doing the site will just collapse under the workload or lose interest. It's fantastic to check out how riders are scoring in their leagues and other meetings. You can also filter their scores by leagues etc. Heat 6 in case anyone not paying attention had MJJ as T/S. (5 wins out of 6 for gate 2 now with Wozza the exception)

Was going to mention before that despite the sun shining it seemed to appear chilly. I notice now that the start girls are well wrapped up on their bench sat down.

Wozniak might be a class below the others he finished last from gate two that had won all the previous races (ummm i think lol Graphics Man upsetting my mind). Could do without the restarts as the Danes tend to run a meeting at a leisurely pace.

Wow thought i had come down with Graphicsmanosis! But Graphics Man just off to an early start lol. You two saved my sanity (ok what's left of it to begin with). 12-6 it is.

Excellent work by the track staff. The quality of the pictures from Kanal Sport are indeed great, even in full screen mode. Have you been able to disembark from your Ark, has the bad weather receded? NIce to see the crowd populating the back straight and bends.

Nope you got it wrong :-) and ONCE AGAIN the official/main site got it WRONG :-) Grindsted ORIGINALLY got it wrong :-) You were wrong in saying that i was wrong :-) na na na na nah lol lol. Ok enough not interested in continuing any bickering but right of reply and defence mean it's only right that it should be pointed out that i was RIGHT ONCE AGAIN in pointing out the main site had a conflicting (and usually wrong when they do) line-ups to other outlets. My ONLY attempt at naming the teams (see racecard) was RIGHT. Again just at a loss why when R&R has been first to use that site's line-up most of the season, and i've on several occasions had to point out the line-up was wrong you never chided him. Yet when i make a post saying that the site is listing teams different to others you accuse me of being wrong (again!). Ok yawnnn 'nuff said. Hopefully we can just enjoy the speedway. (Just remember everyone write the results down according to what you see with your own eyes, that graphics guy will try and mess with your mind and reality lol)

Hee Hee, you're welcome. I think one of the best was when both commentators were laughing away at a rider being listed, and shown as finished, in two places in the same race. As i mentioned once before i think the graphics guy makes so many absolute howlers in the results because the on screen heat result set up is 'as per gate' visually and he may be used to red, blue, white, yellow order?. Failing that the many humourous theories on here will suffice. As ever though, as with commentators, just glad to be able to get to see speedway in very good quality pictures.

OK after my initial post pointing out the usual weekly multiple conflicting line-ups in the media and official sources i - wearing a bullet-proof vest - present my first attempt at the alleged teams for the televised match. I've selected the teams that are now showing in the slight majority of media sources. At least one of them has altered their original publications. It varies each week as to which official and media outlets manage to carry a correct listing. So until those involved in the administration of Danish speedway get their act together this racecard, like all Danish ones, is offered with no guarantees. But the important thing is that Denmark usually provides us with good speedway TV meeting racecard AVAILABLE NOW FREE MiniMax Racecard Danske Liga Holsted Vs Grindsted Wednesday, 14th, August, 2013

Guess Nicki too rich to bother taking a fifth ride lol. Big thanks to Premier Sports for completing the meeting, much appreciated.

If the play-offs take place in the rain at least we got a chance of a good meeting at Motala.

I hope Little Red Riding Hood hasn't gone to the meeting tonight, she'll have to make her way home through the forest in the dark around midnight too.

Ummm no of course we didn't lol. I'm biding my time entertaining myself making a speedway video with a perfect soundtrack. A cool song M-Bike by P J Harvey (from her ballsy bluesy rock era not her recent twittering Kate Bush on speed days). It would make a good soundtrack to a compilation reel at the end of a broadcast. Although SGP and SEC might have a problem with a couple of F-Bombs in it lol. Alternatively an excerpt would be very good for the introduction to a programme. The lyrics and guitar breaks would fit certain action shots and the backdrops surrounding a speedway meeting, yep definitely including the Monster Girls and start line ladies Not hard to imagine the clips you could add. A short clip of the song is here http://www.youtube.c...h?v=ESoSAjmLXaI

Wow doesn't sound quite as simple as thought, Uk tv just said, firstly the top surface taken off, then hot ash spread over followed by fresh shale on top of that which will then be packed down and graded. Not exactly a few minutes work. Taking a tIme out for now.
