Ghostwalker Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 19 minutes ago, racers and royals said: 2375 I think this what one could have expected. The individual Swedish championship meetings aren't that attractive and it also rained allot this morning and there were still lots of showers in the area. So maybe 3000-3500 if the weather had been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a logiocal choice but I am not sure that he would be a good team manager. He is isn't exactly know to be a "mr fire in the eyes" type of guy but rather the opposite. Is he a guy that could lift a team when being 6-8 points down? I think he might be more suitable as sports director or something like that because he seems like nice guy and quite likely have good connections with other riders.

The track name is Eskilstuna motorstadion or Smedstadion. Gröndals motorsportområde is a combined designation for all of the tracks at Gröndal/Eskilstuna motorstadion.

Because this year they changed the format and took out the 2nd reserves race(heat 11) and changed to 2 nominated races at the end- better VFM for the punters. In my opinion it has worked well.As they use a rolling average in Sweden- decent riders end up at reserve for a couple of matches and if they go well can end up with 4/5 rides.

Thanks R&R.    Short change for the reserves but I do like the two nominated races.  Maybe we can introduce in the UK to stop some riders enjoying easy pickings down at 6/7.  And to test the managers too.

No team will be demoted/promoted by default. If any team, like Lejonen or Masarna, wants out they have to actively request a transfer to Allsvenskan. In the same way an Allsvenskan team have to apply to be promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
