tarabanko Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Boring meeting that was shown on Canal+ tonight Elit Vetlanda - Piraterna. After seeing the start you could go to the toilet for a minute and not miss a damn thing.. It was just start and first bend then it was all over, boring.. I know Anders will disagree with me on this subject but the Vetlanda track is one of the most boring tracks in Sweden, there are rarely any passes and no close racing. I hope Canal+ will transmitting Dackarna - Elit Vetlanda next week, it will be a battle to remember! / Mikael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 quarterfinal results: Dackarna-Rospiggarna 63+52 = 115 - 33+44 = 77 Elit Vetlanda - Piraterna 57+47 = 104 - 49+39 = 86. Lejonen - Indianerna 58+48 = 106 - 47+38 = 85 Total Score: Dackarna 115 +38 Lejonen 106 +21 Vetlanda 104 +18 Piraterna 86 -18 --------------------- Indian. 85 -21 Eliminated Rosp. 77 -38 Eliminated. i think the semis are gonna be: Lejonen vs. Piraterna and Dackarna vs. Vetlanda. Was it really about total points scored, or simply about the winner of a pair advancing to the semifinal stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schumi Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 It was the winner of quarter final 1 (Lejonen) versus the highest scoring loser, and the winner of QF 2 versus the winner of QF 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and Rospiggarna will get in to the history books as the 5th in the Elitserien 2008. It's all clearly written on speeedway.nu. In swedish .

schumi Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 In swedish . Looking forward to the next round. Pleased Piraterna made it through. I was a bit disappointed by Balinski's score, but apparently he was leading by some distance in heat 10 when his bike packed up. I expect Lejonen to make it to the final with no problem, but the last time Nicki met Damian it was the best race of the night. Both semis look quite tasty actually. Lejonen-Dackarna final?

I know Anders will disagree with me on this subject but the Vetlanda track is one of the most boring tracks in Sweden, there are rarely any passes and no close racing. You think!? No wonder you missed the passes if you just saw the start. There were just as many passes in Vetlanda yesterday as in Motala last week, or in Kumla in last week's TV-meeting after what I've heard from friends of mine. I can't understand why people who always slags off the Vetlanda track continue to moan about it, if they think it's "always" boring speedway in Vetlanda, why the h*ll do they still turn on the TV everytime it's from Vetlanda, or why do they still visit the track if it's "always" boring!?!? Personally, I have decided to stop going to a couple of tracks from now on unless I "have" to, because I've never/rarely seen a good meeting on these tracks, but I have no need to constantly bitch and moan about it on public forums.

Anders are you mad Me watching Speedway beacause its my life, even if it is in Vetlanda or anywhere else. I have seen many good heats in Vetlanda live, but yesterday it was not as good as I as a airmchair fan wanted. And Anders I have never ever bitched and moaning about the Vetlandatrack in public forums. Remembering still the classic VM semi final from 1993 in Vetlanda - brilliant meeting with many passes and superb racing and of course then Smederna won in Vetlanda Heja Kenny Wennerstam! / Mikael Edited September 17, 2008 by tarabanko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Anders are you mad Yes, I guess. And Anders I have never ever bitched and moaning about the Vetlandatrack in public forums. Sorry if you took it that way, didn't mean it personally. I'm just so fed up with all the rubbish the Vetlanda track gets in general (among them; public forums), and everywhere I go as a representative of the club, I get it stuffed down my throat about "the poor Vetlanda track". I'M FED UP! If it's so God damn horrible, why don't people stay home or turn the TV off!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bream Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yeah, this is speedway. Loved that Rico's move on PK. I still hope that they won't show match from Vetlanda on next week.. How is that other match going? Any good action? I can only see Dackarna - Vetlanda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 How can they bring Lee Richardson in as a replacement for Zabik in heat 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schumi Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 How can they bring Lee Richardson in as a replacement for Zabik in heat 9? It's 6 points behind for a tactical ride in Sweden, but none of this double points business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazeaway Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 It's 6 points behind for a tactical ride in Sweden, but none of this double points business. Maybe we should bring that in over here, sounds sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schumi Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Maybe we should bring that in over here, sounds sensible. That's what I keep telling everyone! The whole Swedish set-up is one we should be looking at - rules included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Those were the rules over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schumi Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Yes, thank you, darling. I am just about old enough to remember, and got the meaning of Blazeaway's smilie. But I shall keep telling everyone how good Sweden is until they start to believe me, or get fed up with me - whichever comes first.

Bream Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Great heat! Hans came and said "Get out of my way, Im gonna win this one!" and passed Lindgren. And then went past Hampel. 4-2 Edited September 23, 2008 by Bream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Great heat! Hans came and said "Get out of my way, Im gonna win this one!" and passed Lindgren. And then went past Hampel. 4-2 The so-slow Lindgren did his best to block his team mate, but once Andersen got by him he was always likely to take Hampel who really rode a stupid race. Didn't he notice they were faster on the inside line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetlanda has to win tomorrows race in Vetlanda with atleast 5p before they get to race next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
