Emiiil nooooo.

Dackarna have brought in David Watt as a temporary replacement for injured Darcy Ward.

Sorry I mixed the meetings up, It was Kenni's meeting that was aborted after 7 heats.

Yeah it was aborted after 7 heats according to Kenni Larsen.

Vetlanda were surprisingly weak, but to be fair on them, they've lost Madsen, Emil S and Crump from last season so they're not as strong as they have been. However Hampel, Vaculik, THJ and Zmarzlik should have done better. From Smederna's point of view, its good to see that Kenni Larsen continues to show good form. Laguta, Zorro, and PK bounced back from last week, Andreas is just as steady and reliable as he "always" is in Elitserien. Anyway here's a pic of my filled in race card: http://i.imgur.com/fue1Qqx.jpg Also Kenni's time in heat 2 was a new track record (for meetings with the new silencer). His time was 60.2 seconds.

Heat 10, looked like a 1-t out of the gates, but a very smart first corner by Kenni took him up into the lead, AJ managed to secure a third going out on the second lap. Then into the second bend on the third lap, AJs move on Hampel.

Excellent start by Smederna. Very impressed by the Danish rocket Kenni Larsen.

I think that is a risk that Smedernas meeting gets delayed. The other meetings should be ok. Ok, you're on your own now, I have go to the bus. Be nice to each other.

Its currently raining in central Eskilstuna at the moment. There is a smaller rain area that needs to pass before 19.00 http://www.smhi.se/v...sverige-1.27021

Name(s) is spelled differently in different languages/alphabets due to the transliteration from other alphabets. Loktaev is how its the English spelling of the pronouncation of his name. Loktajev is the Swedish spelling of the pronouncation of his name. The same with Laguta, Grigory in English, Grigorij in Swedish.

Photographer Sebastian Skog visited Smederna's practice earlier tonight: http://www.sebastianskog.se/2013/05/traning-pa-smedstadion/

yeah Loktaev would be the English version and Loktajev the Swedish version of the name. Its called Transliteration.

Two changes for the meeting between Dackarna and Piraterna, no R/R for Ward as Simon Gustafsson will take his place and Joel Larsson is replaced by Mikkel Michelsen. Greg Hancock is replaced by Maciej Janowski.

So good folks, its time for round 2 and Smederna's first Elitserien meeting at home for almost 4 years. The weather forecast looks a bit mediocre to decent depending on where you look. The preliminary teams for the tv-meeting between Ikaros Smederna and Elit Vetlanda will be the following: Ikaros Smederna - Elit Vetlanda Ikaros Smederna #tv meeting# Andreas Jonsson Magnus Zetterström Grigorij Laguta Krzysztof Buczkowski Peter Karlsson Oliver Berntzon Kenni Larsen Elit Vetlanda Thomas H Jonasson Mikkel Bech Jaroslaw Hampel David Ruud Martin Vaculik Jacob Thorssell Bartosz Zmarzlik IMO Buczek and PK should have been swapped as PK imo is not a heat leader. race card for this meeting: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?tb2ur308s48mwef Dackarna - Piraterna Dackarna Patryk Dudek Dennis Andersson Fredrik Lindgren Darcy Ward Simon Gustafsson Michael Jepsen Jensen Patrick Hougaard Joel Larsson .

Until 12 heat is reached, season entry average will decided positions for reserves. Blank race card: http://www.mediafire...vgojoajl26ns3rb live results: http://www.svemo.se/Speedway/

kommentator says in case of a tied result in the meeting there might be an extra heat. Great comeback by Holsted.

yeah a "technical accident, we are working strongly in correcting the errors" Good news, Madsen could walk off the track by himself.

ouch that looked nasty.

that Kenni Nissen guy have been really good this meeting. Holsted closing in only 6p difference now.

Well its a price the BEL have to pay by having meetings everyday (except Tuesdays and Sundays).

I say move it to Tammerfors. I think one Swedish-Gp would be enough for a few years andI don't think there's enough interest to fill two GPs/year in Sweden.

weather forecast says (partially) sunny but cold weather from Tuesday afternoon and for the rest of the week. http://www.smhi.se/vadret/vadret-i-sverige/land/hourByHourTable.do?starttime=2013-04-29%2018%3A00%3A00&endtime=2013-05-08%2021%3A59%3A00&geonameid=2711537
