Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted August 4, 2018 Track is very dry and the start is too crucial. The first heat after the gradings have been decent but otherwise lots of from the gate. Imo they are too cautious with the watering. They have watered the track but it needs more water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) We just had a quick but intense rain shower. Its stillrraining a little and It'll be a while until racing can resume. Quite low attendance as well, probablyless than 2K. Edited August 4, 2018 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted August 4, 2018 Still raining but not as intense as a few minutes ago. Will still be a while until racing resumes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted August 4, 2018 Freddie Fred Perry Lindgren took his first Swedish individual title. He was fasted from the tapes and pulled away from the rest. Ljung initially second but made a mistake, dropped to last but then managed to pass Kim Nilsson for third. Oliver Berntzon was second. Heat 19, 20and the semi final was pretty good racing but overall racing wasn't anything special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 is not really called Gröndal though even if some people call it like that. The track name is Eskilstuna motorstadion or Smedstadion. Gröndals motorsportområde is a combined designation for all of the tracks at Gröndal/Eskilstuna motorstadion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
