iris123 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Teams @ Inzell: CZ - GER - NL - RUS - FIN - SWE So have they changed the format?Why only 6 teams when there are normally 7.And if there are 7,who are the 7th team?I would guess Austria.But on speedway.org they have CZ missing and GB in Team WM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conkers Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think Thilo and Ottie have made a mistake, as the line up box shows 7 teams. Tried ringing Graham Halsall, but I can't get a reply, and Roger Newton hasn't rang me back. Where is Mark when you need him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joni Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Seems odd that the track may be suddenly (?) unsuitable and doesn't meet requirements. I thought they staged the European Final there a couple of years ago (2006 ?). Nothing to do with the fact that Flims have been forced to cancel the qualifier then? 2005, I think. But Thomas Schiffner (the organizer of the race in Erfurt) writes that "for contractual reasons, there will be no races at all in Erfurt in 2009"... I wonder what this contract is about! And maybe also why they didn't mention (or know, or remember? ) this earlier... Edited November 28, 2008 by Joni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looks like they are having the Sanok qualifier over two days now, with the Sanok Cup on the Saturday, and the qualifier being Sunday and Monday!

Jacqueline Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Sorry Doug for only THIS news, but I thought it might be interesting for the british user and specially for Ian, which british iceracing rider take part at the trainingscamp. Next time I`m only sending a PN to Ian with news like these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conkers Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Spoke to Roger Newton this afternoon, he sets off tomorrow to get the Harwich - Hook ferry then will be driving up to Sweden alone. He tells me Graham won't be going for personal reasons, which I'm assuming will be the recent arrival. Anyway, the Russian Championship quarter finals are next weekend, so it's over to Babelfish reading about how many glasses a Pavel Seagull collects (Mind you Google's translator is convinced that Bolton have an Ice Speedway team in the Swedish league) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) You have been taking tips from f-s-p,Jacky!! We normally get exclusive news when any Finnish rider gets a belly ache ...and you dare writing to me at home asking why I'm ignoring you... Is the whole EC lot now cancelled or what? isracing.net doesn't even give it a mention at all... Edited December 3, 2008 by f-s-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Is the whole EC lot now cancelled or what? isracing.net doesn't even give it a mention at all... Nikolai Ermolenko writes on the Russian speedway forum that the EC for junior riders probably will be postponed till 2010, and that Saransk will organize the final for the EC.
