f-s-p

Been here for 15 years Timo and learned more from the sport than you ever will! Preciate the daggers on my back protector, couldnt care less!

So we got the spreadsheet, made the draw with one quali heat b4 the meeting, rode it on paper and end up with a tie for 2nd, 4th and 6th. And those tie’s need a draw.

We have a situation in ice racing where we have 21 entries for a meeting. The weather looks like there wont be a possibility to have a qualifier so the best solution from several crap ones is to have the requested 20 rider format meeting with top 2 to the final after prelis and 3-6 to semi for the remaining 2 final slots. Those two extra heats make it as even as it can ever be. Far from perfect though...

Thank you very much, we'll see what we can do with it!

I’m all out of ideas to find a ”traditional” (not KO) meeting format for the specs mentioned in the title. Speedway.org seems to have got a clean up and stuff is gone. I’m confident such a meeting has taken place in the past decade. Can anyone help?

Knew that, just needed confirmation. And no they are not back to total loss. And yes I’m fairly young, probably...

U mean the ones that dont absorb anything... I think it’s a good idea, the mats. But in reality we’ve had discussions on do they actually mean rubbish. Especially in other disciplines riders travel with motorhomes to meetings that spill more oil during the weekend than their bikes use. No one cares.

Dont know what your on about but they are supposed to be enviroenmental mats that absorb the possible oil spill, not ugly looking living room ones.

Did it absorb the needed amount of oil?

August 8th is LT final at Forssa...

Woffinden cant do it alone and Aussies need to qualify first from Daugavpils. As do Swedes.

Think you are wrong and actually the one we have now create more decibels than the ones before... Dont understand the bit about someone getting money out of it...

Biskop is ill and out.

Biskop in for Järf.

Not checking the book but arent these alllcations federation, not rider allocations until sign on, which is now apparently on sat morning.

Yes

So like I said... In a way it's all f__cked but then again they are on a tight leash regarding time and something needs to be done..

Wondered myself if they’ve just changed everything behibd the scenes and forgot to tell anyone...

Practise is to be cancelled at Övik and there a starting list out that has riders listed that arent meant to be there, namely Järf.

Headlines yesterday said winter is called off.

Book Scandic Hotel Forssa now if you want to stay there. It’s not that big and its the hotel of choice for the meeting. If you hire a car I’d sleep at Turku, Helsinki or Tampere. Public transport me thinks Forssa has no trains and after the meeting it might be difficult to catch a bus. The meeting start time is yet un known but I expect it to end by 20.00. for busses http://www.expressbus.fi/fi/etusivu/ for trains https://www.vr.fi/cs/vr/en/frontpage EDIT1 If anyone knows a more reliable public transport than Finland has, say it EDIT2 Helsinki public transport in fact got an award as the best in the world no too many years ago.

Kauhajoki off. No ice, no snow and raining.

You have video, I have memories but his first heat was racing, others more like riding after his R. Barrett was a bummer both times. He’s a lovely gent who was (and probably is) full of enthusiasm for the sport and he really did have mechanical problems both -19 and -18. Maybe they were avoidable ones, but in motorsport you have mechanical problems more often than not. So to come that far to have some, thats bad luck.

Didnt Cheblokov have one decent ride and then R and that was his meeting... A bit like Barret coming to Ylitornio to have two T/T’s...
