  1. Darcy in Copengaen and Woffinden in Prague are the two highest scores this season, both 19.
  2. Wow, though the boy got scared a bit. = ) I'm told Engmans father was once the NEXTone in Sweden, but Trick came and stole he show.
  3. Actually it's probably even harder competition than the gp quali and had 4 (85% sure) qualis, two semis and a final...
  4. For shopping go to the Jakobsberg outlet centre. Thats the place to spend your money on clothes and some of them are even really cheap. http://qualityoutlet.com/
  5. To the best of my knowledge, iPhones are not fixed but replaced. This is what happened with my first 4 during the first 14 months of my contract... And I still think it's an awesome phone/gadget! EDIT: proved wrong then as I typed.
  6. Dont know when that exactly was, but a Spar report back in 1994 says that the then top league had 85 English riders and 61 foreigners. Thats roughly 60-40 split, maybe something should had been done earlier? This is hindsight, I DONT know the answer, just that I been trying to get this snippet online since I read it this January.
  7. I think your missing something from Bydgoszcz, the most expensive ticket most certainly was over 38 pounds, since mine was over 100 euros.
  8. :lol: I paid 340 dollars for two seats at the Madison Square Garden to see Rangers vs Red Wings 1,5 years ago. We sat in the corner on row 14 or something like that. So thats cheap US sport for you!
  9. Any results from Sundays meeting at Kumla. I know Nike Lunna won, but thats not good enough...
  10. I was a "guest" in a GP earlier this year. Spoke many times with our host from IMG. He was younger than me probably, but damn he was good at what he did. Not gonna say anything about what he/IMG does to you after you are "part of the package" and done your first deal with them (thats for The Know to comment)... But now looking from the side at the HUGE task that the Finnish promoters have in their hands to get through and recognised in the traditional media over here, I can only see benefits that there's such a player as IMG involved. And just as a curiousity, handball and (EDIT) league speedway have about the same average crowd of around 220+ in Finland (but like said in another thread, dont mean hsit when it comes to the GP at Ratina). Rallycross in Finland always get 3000-5000 people. Cant understand why though...
  11. We took our kid to a photographer a month ago, she lives in Stockholm but has her studio just south of Tampere. I answered a speedway related phone call during that time, she had to ask what I was talking about. Immediately after hearing the explanation she said there's huge adverts all over Stockholm... They can cross one dot, something has been done right!
  12. Indeed, I thought the first round was a bit cautious from the riders. Togliatti was good IMO. But having reserved the 3 hours to watch it and have "my time", no way I'd turn it off!
  13. It's screwed in my brothers garage wall, for good. We almost had a fight over it last year, dont think I told that. The Jäger supplied by a certain friend was luckily close and the mob trying to destroy the thing was cunningly lead to better/different past time activities... Flights were 300+ return from TMP to PRG friday-monday... Not happening.
  14. This is a good question, the original I mean. I would like to see the research that shows that the new (introduced for Cardiff 2013 I think) "Monster" airfences dont produce any extra strain on a riders neck when hit from the side/slided on to. This naturally compared to the old style elements that had no extractions...
  15. Good advice ! Look's like PUK's to give away... Gonna check for flights now...
  16. Thats why I came back and edited... I mean probably outscoring Torun or Gorzow (which ever) by 500 is really not even worth starting such a rumour...
  17. Would be a surprise IMO, though welcomed one. EDIT: If second highest means something like 25-35k...
  18. If it were a five rider runoff (literally, five at the tapes) for second with the same outcome (batchelor last if i remember right) would Batchelor still be 4th instead of 6th in the final standings because his heat wins? And its a runoff for SECOND... Not to determine the substitute list for BSI.
  19. A set of runoffs for 2nd. It's in the same rules. See first quote of the post.
  20. If you are in the runoff, then your final position will be according to the results of the runoff, and in this case the three heats for the five riders. Countback is not an option anymore.
  21. OK, you believe/think/feel there should be no runoffs, I quote the rules. Thats the difference. One should always remember that for each rule there is a reason and it has been created to correct a mistake or non-existance of a rule or a process in such case as the 5 riders tied for 2nd. I would not have been wanted to be the ref in the meeting when for the first time there was 5 riders tied for a podium finish! What a mess that must have been...
