f-s-p Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks for that Rob, a problem with my Spreadsheet, on Khomitsevich, but with only three riders in the Round 6 Berlin D Final, I can't see how they could award 3 points to Simon, but they did. Indeed they did. Without FIM releasing intermediate standings during the week too for us to check things out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports-Photography Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hello all, On my website I've pictures of the Dutch round of ice speedway. I made a selection of the 3 days that I've been there. Enjoy sports-photography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Indeed they did. Without FIM releasing intermediate standings during the week too for us to check things out! The general rule of thumb seems to be whether the rider qualified for the finals or not. If they did, they get the points. If they didn't (such as Vitali Khomitsevich on Saturday, who was outscored by Sven Holstein - good prospect, that lad), then they don't get the points. Incidentally, how many rides did Harold Simon take yesterday. Was it one or two? I noticed it was Lindstrom in Heat 32, but Lehtinen was first reserve, so I would have expected him to take the first reserve ride. Was it Simon or Lehtinen who ran a last in Heat 26?

Conkers Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Whilst I agree with you Rob, I looked at the final chart from Berlin, which didn't mention Simon having ridden. But he appears to have had the points added since Sunday (as f-s-p pointed out). Just had a look at my pics and in Heat 26 Lehtinen rode in blue (Orange bike with black checks on front guard), and white in Ht 36. Lindstrom rode in Yellow Heat 32 (blue leathers) and again in Heat 40 in white. Simon's bike was sky blue with an orange stripe along the top of the guards, and he took his first ride but withdrew. I didn't have a chance to speak to him but he was looking a little under the weather on Sunday around the end of the heats and he was out of his leathers. Mind you he did bounce up the embankment at Berlin with some force last week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conkers, thanks - yes I missed Lehtinen in Heat 26, but when I spotted Lindstrom in Heat 32, I guessed Lehtinen was in the earlier race. These Ice Racers are tough - another example being Vitali Khomitsevich who took a right pearler yesterday on top of his Saturday crash, but still completed the meeting.

Spectacular That's certainly a nice one, but unsharp and a bit too dark. I'm very critical about my work and I only want to show pictures that are good enough for a display on my website. That's why the Khometsevitsch crash isn't online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conkers Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 It's the last meeting of the season in Norway on Saturday 21.3 and this is the line up: 1 Stefan Pletschacher GER 2 Johan Lundkvist SWE 3 Per-Anders Lindstrøm SWE 4 Rene Stellingwerf NED 5 Miroslaw Daniszewski POL 6 Ketil Skarpnord NOR 7 Heinz Göldi SUI 8 Jouni Seppanen FIN 9 Peter Koij SWE 10 Peter Jansson SWE 11 Espen Berglund NOR 12 Christoph Kirchner GER 13 Jan Klatovsky CZE 14 Jo Sætre NOR 15 Mark Uzzel GBR 16 Antonin Klatovsky CZE RES. 17 TBA NO 18 TBA NO Should be a good meeting. ALSO I bumped into a chap from Ipswich on Friday at Assen who was looking for the Assen Motorclub secretary. He was telling me that they plan to build a big snowpark in Ipswich on the site of a former concrete works, which will include a ski slope (like Manchesters Chill Factor E) and a 400 meter Speed Skating track. I asked Russell Large from Travel Plus about it Saturday, and he confirmed they are building it and it's potential title is "Snoasis" Anyway it appears that this chap intends to approach the developers with a view to staging Ice Racing there, and was seeking the help of Motorclub Assen in preparing the case, who I understand are keen to help. So it looks like there is the chance we may finally have an Ice Racing Track in the UK. (And I have checked - April 1st is a few weeks away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conkers Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Just to close this thread for the season, there is some footage from Assen on the Dutch TV Channel site NOS. The Assen club have got some great publicity out of this: NOS Ice Racing It is all in Dutch, but there is some vintage footage of Roelof Thijs which is brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusky Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Well done to POSA!!!! 61 & still winning..Amazing!! Talking of Posa, Has anybody else watched the icy riders DVD ? I've got around to watching most of it but not all, and I have to say that I was pretty impressed with it. It certainly gives an insight into the world that guys like Posa inhabit. Well worth a look in my humble opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
