i somehow doubt that BSI will get rid of one of the permanent tracks that actually is one of the most profitable.

It hasnt been released to DVD and i dont think it will be either.

Because my brain was quite tired when i wrote it

Elitserien Playoffs 2009 Quarterfinals: Tuesday September 8th: Indianerna - Elit Vetlanda (tv meeting) Indianerna: Magnus Zetterström (1,3,1',0,0,1) 6+1 Piotr Protasiewicz R/R Grzegorz Walasek (3,2',3,3,2,1) 14+1 Jesper B Monberg (3,1,0,2,0,3) 9 Rune Holta © (1,2',3,0,1,2) 9+1 Leon Madsen (2,2,2,0,1,3) 10 Simon Gustafsson Niklas Eriksson (0) 0 David Rohén (0) 0 Elit Vetlanda: Lee Richardson (2,2,3,2,3,0) 12 Peter Ljung (0,0,1') 1+1 Jaroslaw Hampel (1,0,2',1,2',2) 8+2 Patrick Hougaard (FX,1) 1 Jason Crump © (3,1',3,3,3,3) 16+1 Robin Aspegren (1,0,1') 2+1 Thomas H Jonasson (3,0,2,2,1,0) 8 Anders Mellgren - Results link 1 Results link 2 comment: Indianerna started the meeting very well and was at the most 10p ahead (after 9 heats) but Vetlanda managed to turn things around and was 2 points up with 2 heats to go. At this point i think many thought that Vetlanda would win it but thanks to a 4-2 in heat 15 and 3-3 in heat 16 Indianerna managed to reach a tied score at the end of the meeting. IMO it was very good performance from Indianerna when you have in mind that neither Protasiewicz or Simon G could ride. I am pretty sure that Vetlanda will win the return meeting at home next week. The question is if they will keep the scores down to become best loosers. Personally i dont think they will since they have to ride without Pepe. --------------------------- Dackarna-Lejonen 47-49 Dackarna 47 Kenneth Bjerre (3,2,0,3,2) 10 Hans Andersen (2',3,1',2,0) 8+2 Fredrik Lindgren (2,2,3,1',2) 10+1 Grzegorz Zengota (0,1',2,1') 4+2 Andreas Jonsson © (1,R,2,2',0) 5+1 Ludvig Lindgren (1,1,0) 2 Krzysztof Buczkowski (3,2,1,2) 8 Niklas Larsson - Lejonen 49 Nicki Pedersen (1,3,3,3,3) 14 Mikael Max (0,0,2',0) 2+1 Chris Holder (1,3,3,0,1) 8 David Ruud © (3,2,2,0,3) 10 Piotr Swiderski (3,0,2',1,1) 7+1 Anton Göthberg - David Watt (2,0,1',1,3,3) 10+1 Christian Agö (0,1) 1 Results link 1 Results link 2 comment: A but surprising lejone won away against Dackarna thanks to a good team effort although Mikael Max only scored 2+1. For Dackarna especially Andreas Jonsson's 5+1 is way to little for Dackarna to be able to win. Ludvig's and Zengota's scores also was too weak. Its very uncertain if Dackarna can go through to the semi finals. Lejonen is a strong home team and Dackarna have to ride much better if they are going to have ay chance of becoming best loosers. ---------------------------------------- Vargarna-Västervik 57-39 Vargarna 57 Adrian Miedzinski (3,1,R,3,1) 8 Adam Shields (2,3,M,1) 6+2 Scott Nicholls (1,F,1,2) 4 Adam Skornicki (3,1,3,3,2') 12+1 Krzysztof Kasprzak (2,3,1,2',3) 11+1 Kim Nilsson (1,0,0,3) 4 Tai Woffinden (3,2',2,2',3) 12+2 Jonas Andersson - Västervik 39 Bjarne Pedersen (1,3,2',1',3,0) 10+2 Tomasz Gapinski (0,3,2,2,1,1) 9 Chris Harris (2,2',3,0,0,0) 7+1 Niels-Kristian Iversen (0,0,3,2,0,2) 7 Tomasz Gollob R/R(?) - Anton Rosén (0,1,0) 1 Kevin Doolan (2,1,1,0,1) 5 Pontus Aspgren - Results link 1 Results link 2 comment: As expected Vargarn won their home meeting in the quarterfinal. Although i think that the victory margin was larger then expected. Vargarna started very well and pulled away initially. Västervik managed to close the gap but after the interval something happened with Västervik and Vargarna manged to pull away easily to a 18point victory. Even if vargarna is a very strong home team Västervik should not loose with 18p. They did miss Gollob and Laguta but riders liek Harris and Iversen should do better then 7 points each. Västervik will have a tough task next week if they want to be in the semi finals. Both Gollob and Gregory Laguta is expected to be back in Västerviks team for next weeks home meeting. --------------------------------------- Tuesday September 15th: Lejonen-Dackarna Lejonen 55 Nicki Pedersen (1',2,3,3,3) 12+1Mikael Max (2,2',0,1) 5+1David Ruud (3,3,0,0,0) 6Chris Holder (1,1,3,2',2') 9+2Piotr Swiderski (1',1,3,0,1) 6+1David Watt (3,2,3,3,2',3) 16+1Christian Agö -Anton Göthberg (0,1) 1 Dackarna 41 Kenneth Bjerre (3,0,0,3,0) 6Grzegorz Zengota (F,2,2,R,1) 5Fredrik Lindgren (2,2,1',R,1',3) 8+2Hans Andersen (0,1,2',2') 5+2Andreas Jonsson (3,3,2,1,2,1) 12Ludvig Lindgren (1',2) 3+1Krzysztof Buczkowski (2,0,0,0) 2Niklas Larsson - total score Lejonen 104 - Dackarna 88 Lejonen through to the semifinal http://www.speedway.nu/2009/reportNY.asp?ElitF.EA ---------------------------------------------------------- Vetlanda-Indianerna Vetlanda 52 Lee Richardson (0,3,1,0,2) 6+1Martin Vaculik (3,2,0,3,0) 8Jaroslaw Hampel (3,2',1',2',3) 11+3Patrick Hougaard (0,3,2,1) 6Peter Ljung (0,1',0) 1+1Thomas H Jonasson (3,2,2,3,2,3) 15Sebastian Aldén (2',1',0,2') 5+3Robin Aspegren - Indianerna 44 Grzegorz Walasek (2,0,0,1) 3Magnus Zetterström (1,1,2,0) 4+2Piotr Protasiewicz (2,1',2',3,3,1') 12+3Jesper B Monberg (1',3,2,0,0,1) 7+1Rune Holta (3,3,3,3,1,2) 15Simon Gustafsson (R,0,0) 0Leon Madsen (1,1,1) 3Freddy Godlund - total score: Elit Vetlanda 100, Indianerna 92 both Elit Vetlanda and Indianerna are through to the Semifinals.

Vargarna to semifinal. Västervik misses the the best looser place in the the semis with 2 points. comment: Västervik had the chance for Semifinal but blew it. gapinski wasnt start ready when replacing Bjarne and is excluded for 2min violation. In Heat 16 Västervik had 5-1 and then 4-2 but because (i assume) of poor team riding they loose the heat and their semi final place with two points. -------------------------------------- Semifinals: Tuesday September 22nd: Vargarna - Elit Vetlanda Indianerna - Lejonen ----------------------------------------- Wednesday September 23rd: Elit Vetlanda - Vargarna Lejonen - Indianerna ----------------------------------------- Dates for Elitserien playoff 2009: Tuesday September 8th QF, first meeting Tuesday September 15th QF, return meeting.

Daniel Nermark rode his first meeting in Sweden after his injury but he only rode two heats and scored 3 points. Mikael Max and Antonio Lindbäck was in a class of their own with 14p from 5 rides and 16 p from 6 rides respectively. The first leg of the Semifinal which now is the 2nd leg was supposed to have been held last week but it rained off and will be held tomorrow. The previous meeting this season between this two teams at Solkatternas hometrack ended with a big win for Solkatterna (57-39) however Örnarna did not have Mikael Max then and Daniel Nermark was not injured (i know he rode tonight but his scores suggests that he was not entirely fit). I am unsure of what the lineups will look like as there are no official lineups available. But i think it will be a close meeting tomorrow and that Linus SUndström who is riding in England tonight might be available. Some rumours are that either of Jeleniewski or Janoskwiski might be replaced by David Ruud but i am unsure if he will fit under the average cap. ----------------- Valsarna-Hammarby 55-41 Scorecard Valsarna 55 Krzysztof Jablonski (2',3,3,2,3) 13+1 Robin Aspegren Robin Törnqvist (3,3,0,1) 7 Kauko Nieminen (3,3,1,0) 7 Daniel Davidsson (2',0,0,) 2+1 Sebastian Aldén (2,2,3,1',1) 9+1 Robin Törnqvist Anders Mellgren (1,FX,3,3,3) 10 Ted Hagansbo (3,2',0,1,1) 7+1 Marcus Broquist - Hammarby 41 Andrej Karpov (1,2,1,1,3,FX) 8 Tero Arnio (0,0,1) 1 Martin Smolinski (1,2,2,2,3,0) 10 Pawel Miesiac (0,1,2') 3+1 Pawel Hlib (3,1',3,2,R) 9+1 Freddy Godlund (0,0,0) 0 Alexander Edberg (2,1,1',2,2) - total score: Valsarna 103, Hammarby 89 Valsarna to the final. comment: 1250 spectators saw Valsarna qualify for the final and ElLitserien with a 14 point victory tonight. So a welcome back to Elitserien to Valsarna!! Valsarna were forced to do some changed compared with the original lineup since Robin Aspegren crashed yesterday in a Division 1 meeting. However Robin Törnqvist who was moved up to nr2 and Anders Mellgren was stepped in at nr 6 both did a good job in this meeting and Valsarnas victory was never jeopardized. ------------------------------------------- Friday September 11th: Solkatterna - Örnarna 44-52 Scorecard Solkatterna 44 Antonio Lindbäck (3,2,3,3,2,3) 16 Jeremia Thelaus (1,1,0,1) 3 Magnus Karlsson (2,1',0,0,1) 4+1 Michael Jepsen Jensen (1',2,1,2',1',2') 9+4 Peter Juul (1,2,0) 3 Oliver Berntzon (2,0,2,0,3) 7 Albin Näreby (1',1) 2+1 Thimm P Norberg - Örnarna 52 Norbert Kosciuch (2,3,2,2',1) 10+1 Christian Agö (0,0,1',0) 1+1 Mikael Max (0,1,3,3,2') 9+1 David Ruud (3,3,3,3,0) 12 Ronnie Jamrozy (3,2,1',1,3) 10+1 Jonas Nilsson (0,R) 0 Anton Göthberg (3,2',0,3,0,2) 10+1 - Totalscore: Örnarna 105 , Solkatterna 87 comment: Solkatterna without Nermark (injured) and Linus Sundström wan not able to win over Örnarna who took the lead with a 5-1 in the 4th heat. Solkatterna managed to get back in heat 11 and was only 2p behind but Örnarna was too strong with Mikael Max and David Ruud. This means Örnarna and Valsarna will meeting the final which is held on Thursday and Friday in next week.

might as well post in the correct thread, pretty boring event. some good heats though. Next gp will be even worse i suspect.

the racing will get better when the track dries up a bit.

there seems to some concern regarding the weather since it started to rain in målilla around 17.00 swedish time. this is a rainfall radar picture from 20 minutess ago and it looks like the rain will have moved away if not til the start so atleast maybe to maybe 19.30-20.00 Swedish time.

reports says that it has started to rain less then 10km from Målilla

from what i have heard from poeple in Målilla, no rain yet. A quick look at the radar images : http://www.smhi.se/cmp/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=9444&l=sv and it looks like that most of the rain might pass south of Målilla

a pretty hilarious article about tonights GP. http://mvt.se/sport/speedway/1.534757 The reporter claims that AJ will not ride because of injury and the he will be replaced by Peter karlsson and that Sebastian Aldén is riding for Dackarna First of all AJ will ride as he have been feeling well for a week. Second even if AJ would not ride PK would not be anywhere near of replacing him (either GP first reserve or track reserve). Third Sebastian Aldén rides for Elit Vetlanda and Valsarna.

the draw: Antonio Lindbäck (16) (Wildcard) Scott Nicholls (9) Fredrik Lindgren (10) Rune Holta (8) Chris Harris (11) Sebastian Ulamek (14) Emil Sayfutdinov (15) Greg Hancock (4) USA Grzegorz Walasek (13) Andreas Jonsson (7) Nicki Pedersen (1) Leigh Adams (6) Jason Crump (2) Hans Andersen (5) Tomasz Gollob (3) Kenneth Bjerre (12) Simon Gustafsson (17) *track reserv Ludvig Lindgren (18) *track reserv http://speedwaygp.com/en/draw/m299

Happy Birthday to Robert Henderson (Team Bikab) 21 y.o. today :D

tonights Div1 meetings: http://www.speedway.nu/2009/todayNY.asp Direct links: Eldarna-Gasarna Filbyterna - Hultsfreds Gymnasium Aborted/cancelled (i think its because of rain). Indianerna Ungdom - Stjäronorna Team Hagfors - Team Bikab This meeting is a top clash between the nr2 (TH) and nr3 placed teams (TB). I would expect a win for Team Hagors since they are using riders that usually rides in Allsvenskan. Compared to mostly younger riders in Team Bikab. Bikab will hopefully put up a very good fight and if the Hagfors boys having a bad hair day or something like that ... Bikab might have a chance of snatching the victory. For those of you who dont already know, the nr6 rider in Team Bikab, Jacek Basinski is one of Billy Hamill's former Mechanics who now lives in Eskilstuna.

weather forecasts for Saturday evening: from smhi: rain from klart.se: rain from yr.no: rain from Accuweather.com: overcast. from svt.se: rain Antonio Lindbäck is wild Card for the second time this season. more info at : http://www.scandinaviangp.com/ racers.. could you rename this thread to Scandinavian GP 2009?

more news is that Masarna will have a meeting in September which they will call Avesta MASters. It will be a standard 2 team meeting with two teams consisting of riders with Masarnas as their mother club. Lineups: Team 1:Antonio Lindbäck Linus Sundström Anton Rosén Andreas Bergström Fredrik Andersson Ted Hagansbo Alexander Liljeqvist Team 2:Sebastian Aldén Eric Andersson Pontus Aspgren Dennis AnderssonRobin Bergqvist Andreas Westlund Alexander Söderholm

at least some good news regarding teams in Sweden. Former SPeedway team Nässjö have decided to re-start their speedway team. They have a vision to be in allsvenskan within 4 years. They will refurbish their arena which will cost some 100'000 (~£8400GBP) + airfence i would believe. http://www.hogland.nu/?option=com_content&...30&Itemid=2

oh it has been questioned before! Are you really that old that you already have forgotten :P he controversies two years ago when Lejonen managed to win the allsvenska playoff final against Valsarna ?' They managed to complete the first meeting with noproblems but for the second meeting they were affected by rain and had to abort the meeting before all heats had been run. Most poeple though Valsarna had won but the rules said that the results from the 1st meeting should be counted after all 16 heats and not at the point where the 2nd meeting had been aborted. anyway can anyone see anything wrong with this picture?

there is some questions regarding the meeting between Lejonen and Dackarna since the first meeting was aborted after 12 heats the bonus meeting should have been counted after 12 heats in this meeting. However there are no reports about a "bonus heat" since the total score for both meetings after tonight's heat 12 is 33+39- 39+33 (72-72). Now some people claim that the second meeting's score should be counted after 16 heats which seem very unfair for the visiting team. But i wouldn't be surprised SVEMO is know for making stupid rules like this.

A narrow loss with 8p (52-44) for Vargarna who thereby just misses out on the opportunity to end the Pirates narrow hope of Playoff.

just watched the tv meeting and i cant see it was particularly exciting. A Few good heats in the end but otherwise nothing special. The tv meeting two weeks ago between Indianerna and Västervik is still the best meeting i have seen this season. Pirates still have a very slim chance of making the playoffs but it is very slim and if Vargarna just manages to bring the bonus point home from tonight's meeting the playoff teams should be pretty much fixed.

during the Interval between heat 10 and 11 OrangeSport usually shows football.

nah i turned it on around 19.10 and it was first soccer and the windsurfing but its speedway now.

hey no speedway? all i see is soccer commercials.

after some speculations about why Nicki is at nr4 the conclusion is that the nr4 rider is the only one who have 4 heats during the 12 first heats. This isn't normally that important BUT the first meeting between Dackarna and Lejonen this season had to be aborted after 12 heats so the result for the bonus point will be counted after heat 12 tomorrow.
