Niklos Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 An interesting question.The Russian league doesn't really have a fixed day,like Poland,Sweden and Denmark.If they are hoping to get top foreign stars on a regular basis and not just one or two meetings here and there i guess they have to have a fixed day.Thursday maybe?Can't really see Sweden or Poland suffering,so it will be Denmark and Britain,i guess <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Russia no fixed day. In Russian league, four strong clubs, capable constantly to take the good racer. Two clubs capable to take the average racer. One club not capable nobody is not required.

The Train Moscow-Vladivostok goes 7 day, and Vladivostok-Moscow back 7 day. Possible 4000 dollars for arrival Andreasа Jonssonа.

As they left out days before the team would, the team's owner bought them three spots on the Trans-Siberian Railway to get to the game.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the action from there next year, even if it is just on the PC for now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja-Jacek Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) I am an user of Russian speedway-forum... unfortunately (for you) it's only in russian language... But if you go into some topics you can find a lot of pictures, not only of tracks but riders, too. http://forum.speedway.ru/index.php?
