Conkers Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Krasnikov wins with a round to spare and then goes easy in the final round. He's still the best rider by far, isn't he? All the best Rob Its a pity he's retired from the International Scene, as he's still by far and away the best rider. He may get the Wildcard in Krasnagorsk like he did last year. He was unbeaten in that round too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's winter. Even my van said it's too cold -20 here in the south where I'm working. Up to -30 up north. For fridays practise at Ylitornio it's only -22 promised after been -29 the night before. Should be only about -14 for the meeting on saturday. Not going.

iris123 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 A mild -7 here.Snowing for a couple of days now and by the photos of a friend in Stockholm today,we have more than they do.Took a train 20 hours to go 38km on sunday because of the cold!!!! Workmates brakes were frozen as well.......maybe mine are too but I don't have to use the car for a few days and it is due to get warmer again Surprised Conkers hasn't put the line-up for Ylitornio up.I am far too lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Straw bales and safety fence and yes the high snow wall. I seem to remember it was unfair regs that caused Berlin to pull out of FIM meetings a few years ago.At least what they thought were unfair as other tracks got away with things Berlin were pulled up for.But to be honest surely straw bales are a minimum and a catch fence is preferable to a large safety zone,but necessary if the safety zone is not large.Sounds like chaos.Hope they manage to get it sorted.....

What strikes odd to me is that Seppänen is involved, Hirvasoja is involved, Jussi Roine (decades of experience in organizing meetings in the Oulu club) is involved and something like this is brought up??? What is the real story? EDIT: and the way I saw it, practise is cancelled and meeting is on tomorrow Samstag.

iris123 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I thought Jouni was the top FIM man now.So surely he is the one who gives the track the FIM approval? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Tony Steele is there as well as the jury president and can wipe his butt with Jouni if he wants to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) So you should get on the phone to Jouni or another contact there to get the full story.Guess if it has gone t**s up then the "do not disturb sign" will be on Jounis phone.....

iris123 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I know everyone seems to be spelling it Seifter,but I think his real name is Seifert!!!! Bit of a surprise as is Aakko's poor performance.Still not fit or what? And is just over 600 a decent crowd?I'd guess it is Looks like I got that wrong and he is called Seifter!!! despite those calling him Seifert http://www.speedway-forum.de/index.php/Thread/11553-Eisspeedway-Labberfred-2015-2016/?pageNo=21 Edited January 9, 2016 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is just over 600 a decent crowd?I'd guess it is If he's given his name wrong in his license application (or it's been misread) then thats what we'll call him... 550 paid to get in and VIP's + other freebies on top of that. 1k was mentioned as a target. But like me, many people thought it was just too far. On the other hand people in Lapland turn up if something is happening, just because something is happening. So I guess they'll be a bit disappointed. Personally I spoke with Aakko on 29th August and got the impression he would miss yet another season. He didn't, but maybe his injuries and slow recovery played a part. I mean the Aakko I know should have walked heats 18, 14 and 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
