racers and royals 8,730 Posted August 17, 2011 Thats great, I can get SVT2 on my sat receiver thats what its on 4.30 pm uk time lucky you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paragon 8 Posted August 17, 2011 After seeing the way Pepe went last night I think he may be the 1 to beat. I think that there should be a facility for wild cards to be allowed to be put in this meeting. There are a few in this meeting who are wasting thier time and the meeting would benefit from the likes of Darcy, THJ & possibly Batch chucked in to the mix instead of the likes of Monberg who was passed his sell by date 8 years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Thats great, I can get SVT2 on my sat receiver thats what its on 4.30 pm uk time lucky you SVT webbroadcast will be available for everyone regardless of where you live. So tune in SVT play: http://svtplay.se/ on Saturday at 17.30 Swedish time (it will be broadcasted with a slight delay). After seeing the way Pepe went last night I think he may be the 1 to beat. I think that there should be a facility for wild cards to be allowed to be put in this meeting. There are a few in this meeting who are wasting their time and the meeting would benefit from the likes of Darcy, THJ & possibly Batch chucked in to the mix instead of the likes of Monberg who was passed his sell by date 8 years ago I think THJ would do very good against these if he would be in, as it is his Swedish hometrack. I also still think that it should be more the 1 final round. Maybe 2 or 3 on different kinds of tracks, since this year those who can gate will be very favoured and in the same was at racers ahave an disadvantage as its very difficult to pass on this track.

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Yet still good enough to qualify ahead of Ward, Jonasson and Batchelor. well its not really a matter only of being good enough or not, have a bad day (like a flat tyre, or being crashed into by someone else and etc...) and you are out. It also have to do with the draw and if you're lucky/unlucky to get this or that track earlier in the qualifying stage and who you're opponents are. Some quarters/semi finals and etc have a stronger draw while other are weaker. And a rider that misses out from the stronger QF might still be better then those from the weaker semi or quarter or etc...

Anders 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Sometimes I wonder if it would be better if the track closed down so people wouldn't be able to have a crack at it e-v-e-r-y G-o-d d-a-m-n t-i-m-e. Don't know why I care, because as a Vetlanda fan, I like it in Vetlanda, and that should be what matters. We won't put a gun to anyone's head for people to come here, or even watch meetings on TV/streams from here. To those of you who may think of watching it, please note that you've already been hold it's a awful track, and if you still watch it and it's bad, the rights to whine about the poor quality of racing is voided. You've already been told it's going to be bad, so why watch it? I'll do live updates from the meeting (I'll provide a link later), so I may provide a more colourful description to the races than a TV broadcasting might be able to do. A few Thursday photos from the track, this day ahead of practise. http://www.elitvetlanda.se/index.php?page=news&stage=1&id=1944 (Better leave the computer now before I type anything I regret) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already thanked you on another thread, but again THANK YOU Sitting here in a small town in Pennsylvania it adds so much to the experience.

brandonbee48 1,194 Posted August 18, 2011 I have the egg ready to rub in my face so here is my forecast. Pepe Protasiewicz Greg. Walasek Antonio Lindback Victor Golubovski - so the Bees can sign him as a double upper to keep Emil company next year. KK, Bjarne and Zagar will also be in the mix. Who i would like to see to keep it fresh Martin Vaculik. Simon Gustafasson. Victor Golubovski. But i fear not. All in fun before the irate replies pour in. Alan.

Anders 0 Posted August 19, 2011 Today's practise has been postponed due to a poor weather forecast for this afternoon. A new attempt will be made tomorrow morning, at 09:00 a.m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mothorsen 39 Posted August 19, 2011 This year (and perhaps others) the World Longtrack Championship crashed with SGP. If Kylmäkorpi goes on to qualify, he'll have no chance of keeping his title, should he win this year aswell? Pity that one can't be a speedway and longtrack champion at the same time. Nevertheless: Go Joonas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
