Last match Vetlanda v Lejonen just watched- as expected pretty dire meeting ( the norm for Vetlanda) Decent riders have to work so hard to pass !! Lejonen always competitive with Tungate impressive.

Masarna v Dackarna Tuesday June 19th all heats short polish version

Just watched Rospiggarna v Indianerna. the Indians were pathetic and there were several really bad crashes. I`m sorry to say that i foresee the GP at the track shortly is not going to be a classic.

With Speedway play not working for a while i have just caught up with Vastervik v Smederna and what a superb match it was- the more meetings i watch from Vastervik the more i realise that it`s certainly the best racetrack in Sweden and up there with Czestochowa and Manchester.

Zielona Gora v Wroclaw Sunday June 17th all heats short version https://www.cda.pl/video/2383763b2?wersja=720p Leszno v Torun Sunday June 17th all heats short version https://www.cda.pl/video/23838801d?wersja=720p

Qualification is on average after 6 rounds i think it was - that’s why Cooks in it. I don’t think some riders were too keen on busting a gut for the pay on offer and probably not a lot has changed !!

If i remember rightly- last year was it`s inaugural year and to say that several of the field didn`t give it their best is an understatement. !!!! Edit last year was the 2nd year- here is a post of yours from then "Whats going on here, with Anders Thomson, Maxim Bogdanovs, Peter Ljung and why did Gapinski and Anderson not start the meeting?"

Krosno v Bydgoszcz Sunday June 17th

Just posted the SEC finals comp this morning here

Wish you hadn`t posted that as it`s reminded me that in the same season we(the Racers) had the Kai Niemi guest farce. I thought i had just got over it but i`m not so sure now.

Dave Mullett told me a lovely story about Kelvin when i phoned him a few days ago to tell him the sad news. I`m sure Dave won`t mind me repeating it here. Canterbury were on a northern tour and all the team were in one big van and for some reason Kelvin was in his own van following. Unknown to the team Kelvin had fixed a stink bomb in their van which was triggered by the van breaking, and the smell was so bad they had to do an emergency stop and all pile out with Kelvin stopped behind laughing his head off

Sweden have a week off next week so round 7 is on Tuesday July 3rd and the TV match is scheduled to be Lejonen v Smederna

DGT- you won`t get rich on travel expenses for this round

Jaimon Lidsey might be in with a shout.( i forgot Australia)

Next question i suppose is who will be the 3 permanent wildcards ? Surely the finals need a Swede so that`s 1 sorted ! It wouldn`t surprise me to also see a Latvian in the series so that leaves 1 - maybe a Czech or German ?
