F U both. Thats proper English for you!

Wheres Suzy from Emils pits?

Milik and Smoli are having Jawa stickers. Has that changed back from JRM? Milik and Smoli are having Jawa stickers. Has that changed back from JRM?

That does it, I'm with SCB on Killer.

Yeah well it has to be... = ) I saw a statement towards this earlier and possibly a member on here has leaked it here as well (not naming U = ))... But what does this mean? What has Emil, Piotr and (not sure) Darcy have in common? Has the FIM been forced now to do something about this?

"Well over" 300 meetings in the uk elite and premier combibed yearly. That equals to about "well over" 4200 rider bookings.Maybe the BSPA really has something they want to protect, as U all hate depleted teams as a enemy #1...

Please tell me, how getting a promoter for this is good? And note that I'm talking of A Promoter. A deal has been made. That usually means that some specifics have been sold to a specific fee. I'm VERY interested to know what EXACTLY has been sold.

In Finland we have 4 man teams in 4TT. Riders are in riding order according to average. If number 1 or 2 is missing, RR can be used for number 1. If the missing rider is number 2, #1 becomes two. Basic idea is to have full heats and give the chance for teams to come with only three riders if there are problems in getting a rider. It works. It allows things but it does not give an advantage. But we are talking about SWC. Teams should be full. Bottom line is that speedway is a small sport, most riders only interested in money and the federations (except PZM) just dont have any.

Guess PUK used all credits on his hero account last year...

Timo Lahti beat Kylmä, Puodzuks and Kauko Nieminen separately and together on the German thing again...guess it works.

The suspension is for all racing on sunday, not just Poland. A minor yet quite significant difference.

6k £ for an engine in mid PL is overpaying. http://www.speedwaysanomat.fi/galleria/2015/2015_smliiga4/ Was at Hyvinkää yesterday, Timo Lahti was riding the new German engine. Said it was good, won all foyr heats when on it. Shame he had to borrow a bike agains Davey Watt-Kauko Nieminen. A few pics early on in the linked gallery.

They say on tv that Lambert and Harris are on This new engine. I wonder if its the 15 min or 20hrs version... Looking fast, no questions!

Not all of it. I think there's a fixed rate per point that the home promoter pays for the travelling team.

Doing 3-4 matches a week and travelling the rest of it calls for measures. Outsourcing engine care is an easy start.

The Lendava track hosted one of the rounds for the most stupid ever series of seven u21 finals in 2012. Spar made a report prior to the meeting that it was basically run by an ex CCP bigwig. Dont know if he still runs it, but thats how big meeting are gotten over better tracks. Only noticed it later on, but I had an email via some weird connection that there was a livestream sponsored by Lendava city council for the event to gain exposure. Talk about plans backfiring...

Thought he pracically followed the white line in that one. PK had IMO room to move out.

Cant do the sport much good either if it's said to be sheit week in week out.

No I dont think so. He the contact between the promoters and riders (in Germany). Dont know who "found" him at first, but he's well connected and liked in Finnish longtrack.

I've not done any digging on Onesport, but I remember that the company was created to be the promoter for SEC. Cant see them being a threat towards IMG. If FIM Europe try's to rattle the cages, FIM will act. So should we start the beer drinking and internet terror in two hours? Mag is almost ready and everything is set...

This meeting is the same as the gp challenge, it's organised by FIM Europe where FIM does the GP qualis. So one could argue, that so far Onesport has not messed up anything...

Seems there's a mistake in the sportowefakty results. Partanen had actually fell in the heat that he's listed to win. So 6 points and 12th Place. Still good for and from him.

One off for a SGP I think was about 800. But thats not FIM, but special SGP license. Trying to find out how much is a one off for u21's. EDIT: abput the same what Jesper said.

They definately keep the gate, but they have to pay the prize money as well. Prize money for every FIM meeting is written for the public in the rule book. Not gonna put money on this, but I think there's a staging fee involved as well and that will then include the FIM officials coming from abroad on FIM's expense. I dont think the staging fee's are public knowledge, but my educated guess estimate is between 2k € for a meeting like an U21 quali to about 25k € for a SGP. If you get an allocation and produce a no show, there's a fine and most likely the scales will be tilted against you the following year.

Also on how many organizers there are for the qualis, meaning is there 32 or 48 places to share. The problem has been in previous years and increasingly, that no one wants to stage meetings like U21 or SGP quali's. Think it was Jesper who revealed earlier that the CCP is having a problem trying to find an organiser for even the GP Challenge next year.
