f-s-p 832 Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Extraliiga today at Pori. Keittiöpiste is the likely champion. Only way for them to mess things up is to finish last next sunday. Even that might not be good enough.

f-s-p 832 Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) Two rounds to go. Kuusankoski tomorrow and Lahti a week from now. Keittiöpiste.............7 - 303 - 34 Kopparberg............7 - 247 - 27 Kotkat....................6 - 221 - 25 Paholaiset..............7 - 197 - 23 Jokerit...................7 - 82 - 15 Haukat...................6 - 69 - 15 I havent been praising Mäkinen without proof either. There are only two finnish riders he hasnt won (=beat, trash, make look silly/slow/whatever ) and that Kauko Nieminen and Kaj Laukkanen. He hasn't even raced against Nemo this season. The toughness that I was waiting from him has come, just ask Benny Johansson who had to hit the deck yesterday when Jari pushed him wide in turn 3-4. It wasn't even ugly, there was plenty of space between them but Johansson just didn't want to shut the throttle. Jari's gating can still improve but he outgated the Finnish champ yesterday twice and was even able to hold him back once. He looks good too and never gives up. Jari at Pori: LOOK HERE leading, naturally! Edited August 18, 2007 by f-s-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f-s-p 832 Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) K-P.Gerdeman won't be there f-s-p.The promoters are expecting him to pay for the travel costs out of his own pocket.While Matten will get his costs payed.So he has decided not to go That is what he has posted on inspeed anyway <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd say plenty but it's wiser to shut up. Thanks for the info. Depending what goggles I'll wear I'll understand each party. EDIT: Just read the topic at inspeed. Talk about stealing news!!! The thing is there is no "promoter". The club at Pori has paid our federation to get the chance to organize the Finnish final. In these kind of meetings starting money is unheard of to the best of my knowledge. Just ask KPG if he got paid by the organizer last year? Or is this just the case of " if he gets, I must get too". BUT, we've had all the best here this season so I think it's nice that Pori tries to add to the pile and trying to get Kröger over here. But like I said above, depending on the goggles... I know the people at Pori personally and have nothing bad to say about them. Edited August 23, 2007 by f-s-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f-s-p 832 Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Rene Lehtinen won the Finnish long track championship of 2007 before Mikko Rahko and Markus Helin. Final was from the tapes but distances were in metres, not hundreds of metres. Kröger won all his heats but had to leave to catch the plane to UK for the EC final somewhere so missed the A-final. Mikko Rahko challenged him well in one heat! Lead for 2,5 laps... The meeting dragged a bit, mainly thanks to Anssi Lehtinen who never made it further than the first bend. On his third outing the crash was bad enough for him to be carried out in an ambulance. Matthias Kröger 5555 20 Mikko Rahko 5545 19 Janne Koivula 5345 17 Raimo Juntunen 4553 17 Rene Lehtinen 4454 17 Ilmo Suutari N444 12 Markus Helin 4332 12 Tommi Ahlgren 3432 12 Tapio Leppämäki d324 9 Jan-Eric Korkeamäki 3123 9 Tomi Kauppi 3212 8 Joel Nyström 2131 7 Markku Weckman 2221 7 Simo Pulli 2d13 6 Jonne Perälä 1211 5 Anssi Lehtinen dddN 0 C-finaali: Pulli, Kauppi, Weckman, Nyström, Perälä, Lehtinen N B-finaali: Helin, Suutari, Ahlgren, Korkeamäki, Leppämäki, Pulli A-finaali: Lehtinen, Rahko, Helin, Juntunen, Koivula, Kröger N Did anyone watch it online?

f-s-p 832 Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) I spoke with Aarni Heikkilä's parents yesterday and they said Aarni has started healing and will be back next year. Damage to his back wasn't as bad as thought after the crash. It wasn't all good news form this couple, since they said that a week after the Heikkilä incident Janne Nyman crashed at the same track a badly damaged his wrist and hand. Several broke bones and the surgery to make things better wasn't a 100% success. EDIT: Both Nyman and Heikkilä were in the pits yesterday at Lahti. I guess the hits they took werent that hard since they remembered well how they happened. But both are out for the season and will comeback next year. Heikkiläs incident happened in the same meeting where Kylmäkorpi hurt his elbow and Nyman crashed in a practise session. Juha Moksunen was there helping the youngsters and Nyman's father said that the riders were told very clearly what to do and how to ride the track resulting in much faster racing speed as the day went on.

Keskinen, Suojanen, Mustonen, Dahlborg 65,68 The KC final at Haapajärvi was a rainoff and will be restaged on the 16th of this month. Pori won the KC regular season with Seinäjoki 2nd and Kauhajoki 3rd and both riding in the final since Pori decided that they wont bother because of how the Haapajärvi meeting was organized without consulting them. Jarkko Palmi won the finnish 80 cc Championship after beating Timo Lahti in the final of the last round. They were tied in Cup points before the last round at Pori last weekend. I'll post full results later. I've only seen a few heats of this years 80 cc racing. But I think Timo Lahti looks great and his transission to the bigger bikes will go well. He has this style riding the smaller bike from the saddle, something I havent seen anyone else having? And he's practised the whole of this season on a 500 cc machine. Palmi has a very different style, dont know how he will develope in the bigger bikes. He has one already but I dont know how much he's ridden on it. His 80 cc bikes this year were really good. I think he had two new bikes for the season, atleast they looked new. He put many Finnish riders in to shame with his bike's. Jari Mäkinen and Joni Keskinen will ride at Tarnow in a some sort of a "come-and-show-us-what-your-made-of" meeting this saturday.
