Conkers, on what you base the FIM calendar?

 

Svemo had their isracing möte a few weeks back, looks like only one series this winter, no Elitserien and therefore Hammarby isn't bothered at all.

Just to point out to anyone interested in the trip.Berlin doesn't really require a "good cold winter" as it is an artificial track.Always a trip worth making as the track and of course the city are top notch

I'm basing it on the information posted on several site including the Assen Site and the Russian Forum. The Russians tend to release their fixtures AFTER the FIM ones.

 

Conkers - do you know the times of the Sanok meetings??

 

At present I can't help you, but I understand they will be Friday Night and Saturday Afternoon as usual. As soon as I get the schedule I'll post it

It was just a general comment Doug, as Flims, St Johann, Weißenbach and Flims are natural tracks, who rely on the cold weather.

But Berlin would be nicer if it was cold and dry rather than their March Rainy season :)

 

 

Oh, and the Assen tickets are available here: http://www.ijsspeedway-assen.nl/en/tickets-2014.html

Yes.I just wanted to point out to anyone who doesn't know,that the meeting in Berlin isn't reliant on cold weather to build a track.

 

And yes,one of the basic problems with Ice Speedway in continental Europe is that there isn't a single track that can be used often(generally more than one weekend per season)as the artificial tracks are mainly for speed skating and are only given over to Ice Speedway when their season has finished.Which means just about the time when the dirt track speedway season is starting.It means the season in Europe is pretty short and not condusive to building up a great audience and not helpful in bringing on a decent group of youngsters.The Russians don't have this problem and that is why they have a major advantage,unfortunately.It would be great to have one or two tracks in Europe where riders could go and train on a regular basis.This just ain't going to happen though

 

 

Any news on more racing/tracks in Switzerland as was announced last season,along with a revitalised Golden Spike series?

5 team series for the coming winter. I spoke with Seppänen last friday and he said that Svemo have been notified that a Finnish team wants to participate again. Deja vu, me thinks... Didn't they forget Team Finland last year as well. :lol:

Thinking of doing Krasnogorsk next year. Has anybody made their own way there in the past? Wondered if there is any advice about obtaining tickets, getting there from Moscow or other guidance. I see there is a station not too far from the stadium and the Metro is not that far away. We have been to Moscow for football but got tickets through our team. Any guidance will be much appreciated.

I'm thinking of doing the same this year, although a few of us are talking about travelling together. I too would welcome advice, although I was chatting to a few Russians in Manchester for the City - Moscow match and all said it wasn't able to be reached by Metro, but was easy to get to. I'm assuming they have a rail system which runs in conjunction with the Metro.
