Bagpuss Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Apart from the first round the whole series so far has been pretty poor I’m afraid. At least the scores are keeping things interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are that many, most won't home until Monday. Just one narrow lane in and out of the stadium. Chaos. No chaos at all, friendly atmosphere, pretty little stadium, great view very close to the track, exciting meeting towards the ende with worthy winner Emil Sayfutdinov. I did enjoy and saw more than from some meeting i.e. Gorzow or Torun. Would recommend Hallstavik SGP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navigator1900 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 If you have been,at the GP you probably would agree that to watch it from the grandstands the racing was much better in the 2nd half, I did enjoy to go to Hallstavik!

At least the scores are keeping things interesting. The difference this season is when they line up at the tapes it is hard to predict race winner as they are All top men now, their first 2 races they settle for position after a lap as usually just sticking to the inside line is the only option as the track is packed down ( tonight seemed to the exception).I agree with another Poster who suggested a few warm up heats( local juniors would do) just to turn the track over.The racing then might be a bit more competitive from the off.( will probably get shot down, but that’s my thoughts). Either that or have a different points scoring system in qualifying heats which means riders can’t rest on their laurels in the heats.( don’t ask me what) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that several different riders are all in with a good chance of being World Champion is the only thing worth tuning in for this season so far.

Lefty Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Only four pages on here sums it up. Too many track shadows / poor filming - reminded me of Peterborough. Sad times...... will need an "official forum site" the way things are going!!! Bananas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two semi-final winners get 1st choice-with the one who had most points affer 20 heats having no 1 pick. 2 semi-final 2nds get 3rd and 4th and again rider who had most points after 20 heats picks 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess because he come 2nd in the 2nd semi After 5 rides Vaculik and Emil tied at the top on 12, but Vaculik had more heat wins so he goes in semi 1 and Emil in semi 2, then he come 2nd so that puts him 4th pick for the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navigator1900 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thank you, guys, anyway it was great win for Emil and to watch it from the main grandstand was fantastic for me and my friends travelling to Hallstavik from Switzerland!

OveFundinFan Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Only got to be a good meeting towards the end of 20 heats, then the last 3 races were pretty good. The winner, Emil, was back to the old Emil. Hope this means he is really back on top of his game and now goes all the way to become world champ. Interesting gate 4 provide the first 4 heat winners, then nothing.....that is until heat 23, the final, and Emil did it from gate 4. How despondent he could have been having gate 4, but his mind must have been focusing on positive, positive, positive. Emil missed out in 2013 when his dad died half way through the GP year. That was a setback, then he was slammed in the fence in a league match in Poland and suffered terrible injuries, some thought it could finish him. Then he went AWOL for 3 years winning a secondary competition (twice winner European championships.) I agree, there should be some racing before the main meeting, to get the track in a condition for top class world speedway right from heat 1. The way it is now, processional for 3 or 4 races, robs the riders and robs the paying public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacukik and Emil tied on top points after 5 rides, Vaculik gets 1st semi (most heat wins) They both come 2nd in the semi so get 3rd and 4th picks , Vaculk still has most heat wins, so Vaculik gets 3rd pick and Emil gets 4th pick (no pick) for the final. Is that it????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i think 1st semi 1467 2nd semi 2358 pts then 1st 2nd’s 3rd’s etc if can’t be split better result when they met. 2 semi winners highest place 1-8 after 20 races for the 1st pick in final 2 semi 2nd’s highest place 1-8 after 20 races for 3rd pick in final Edited July 8, 2019 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Wroclaw will be very different as the league racing has been terrific there for the last 2 seasons. Like a lot of tracks the inside can be advantage early but the outside line quickly develops. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
