A real shame that a track that looked so good early on, proved to be so crap. Timo Lahti took home the honours and the welding machine at Kemppi Speedway today with a touch of track craft and a bucket load of pure luck.

It was a poor service by me this weekend, and it will be even poorer next weekend when there's a round of Kaupunki Cup at Lahti on saturday and the qualifier for the Finnish final at Seinäjoki on sunday. I'm off to my yearly attempt to survive a week without internet.

 

After that there's the U21 final on July 25th and the 55th staging of the Finnish final on August 1st.

Pics from Seinäjoki, July 11th

 

At Seinäjoki there apparently was a crash between Joni Keskinen and Kaj Laukkanen. Keskinen was the leader of the pair at that time when his bike packed up in the middle of the back straigh and Laukkanen rode straight in to him. Laukkanen hurt himself enough to sit out the next day. Also Juha Hautamäki and Timo Lahti had a good battle that ended up with Hautamäki's front tire getting swept from under him and Hautamäki's exclusion.

 

Also worth mentioning is that there were a few "pro" pairs of eyes at the meeting and the feedback was that there are good kids coming through in Finland. I knew that...

 

Pics from Kauhajoki, July 12th

f-s-p, i noticed that three of team Bikab's boys rode for two Finnish teams how come?

f-s-p, i noticed that three of team Bikab's boys rode for two Finnish teams how come?

I think Vili Hautala and Jooa Partanen both ride for Smederna in the 80cc so there are connections to that club. Katajisto was in Poland for the U19 so Jokerit needed one rider more and took two instead. Also Keittiöpiste seems always to have one or more foreigners.

 

Heard that Katajisto was happy with his performance in Tarnow, hopefully made a good impression.

 

Over and out for a week now...

Qualifier for the 55th Individual Speedway Finnish final held at Seinäjoki, 19th of July

Teemu Lahti pulled off the shock of the season so far by winning the qualifier at Seinäjoki with a full 18 point haul! Joni Kitala's 11 points is also worth a mention as is his 3rd place in the actual qualifier between local track specialists Joni Keskinen and Rene Lehtinen.

Riders with red have qualified now for the final. For some reason the organizers/referee were more interested in finding the winner of this qualifier rather than finding the 6+2 riders for the final, and a rerun for positions from 4th to 7th never took place! EDIT: There will be a run-off for 3+1 places in the final at Pori in 1,5 weeks before the actual meeting.

Kind of sad that Haapajärvi didnt ride in KaupunkiCup. But their riders where at Seinäjoki on the next day. And so is that Pori wasnt able to get a full team.

Hi f-s-p

 

How many riders have been qualifed to final ?

This is the final and everyone that showed interested were qualified to enter the final direct. My assumption at the moment is that if every U21 rider that has ridden a 500cc bike this season would have entered, it would have been a full 16 (Finnish) rider meeting. Jari Mäkinen, Jarkko Palmi and Olli Heikkilä are the riders that did not enter. To the reasons behind their unwillingness to ride in this meeting I will not comment until I get a chance to speak to them myself.

 

Probable meeting format here + semi for 3-6 and the top2 direct to the final heat.

Yeap, I would really like to know why Jari isnt going to Kuusankoski?! Is he injured or something?

Timo Lahti won the Finnish U21 title! Appe Mustonen was also very good today after a poor early season form.
