Att was: 7206 The meeting started 20:10 after much rain. So the crowd could have been bigger. But 7264 is ok for Västervik. It was a new public record there- alltime. This was the first time Västervik as crowned Swedish Champions. Västervik was former know as Skepparna.

Västervik is Swedish Champions 2005 The result do you find here: http://www.speedway.nu/2005/Report.asp?ElitF.DC

Everything under 7000 tommorow is a disgrace. Shame that Västerviks stadium is a small one. The place will be packed tommorow for sure.

2006! Rickardsson Racing 2006 will be Tony Rickardsson´s last year on the speedway track! - This is not a decision that has come overnight. Speedway has been a Big part of my life for a very long time. I owe a lot to this sport and there have been many memorable moments that will always stay with me. Now it is time for me to proceed. - This is one of the most important decisions that I have taken during my career but I feel confident that I am doing the right thing. It is quiet easy to explain how I came to this decision. I simply want to move on. - I don’t know what future has in store for me, but it is a thrilling thought to go on in life without speedway as a main occupation. 2006 will very much be the same as 2005. I will always do my very best! - Tony intends to have pretty much the same schedule as 2005: GP, the Swedish and Polish League and some meetings at the beginning of the English League. There will also be three farewell meetings: England, Poland and Sweden, called The ”Final Lap”. We would like to inform you later where and when these meetings will take place. Taken from Rickardsson Racings homepage. A great loss for speedway overall, but the day Tony will quit has beeing coming. I think he will go into car racing instead. Just wish him luck what he does in life.

' Yeah, exactly it depends alot for Västerviks sake how Tomasz Gollob is on the day /s. But my money goes to VMS!

The finals will be raced on these dates: Tuesday 27/9 VMS Elit - Västervik Wednesday 28/9 Västervik - VMS Elit The meetings will be shown LIVE on Swedish Tv4+ The meetings starts CET 19.00,,, 18.00 for you british. You can follow the meetings here on race day: www.speedway.nu It is really hard to predict which team that are taking the gold, but I guess VMS Elit will defend their gold from last year. Cheers Mikael AKA tarabanko

Do they have a play-off for 3rd place between Smederna and Luxo? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No! 1.???? 2.???? 3. Luxo Stars 4. Smederna

Madness, just madness... Single a coin, haha so sick. Mr Steele was maybe tied?! but he must act as a professional and not do as the FIM officials says or thinks. This is a black day for speedway!

Great pics from Poland.... Good supporters for the home team and what a wonderful atmosphere it must be... So good!!

Got my copy today and the interview with Mike the bike was brill. Thanks for a super mag. / Mikael

Who is Lee Richardson??? Blimey where did he came from?? Good to see the former Reading Racer up there, but it was a REAL surprise.

Just awesome Tony!

Do you have the right player? I use Windows Media Player 10 and it works as it should be.

Tobias Ingesson, Sweden 1 Denmarks wonderboy Michael Li Glad Jensen won and was followed by two more danes on the podium. Robin Bergqvist was exluded in one heat and after what I have read so was the exclusion not right.

Congrats Peter and a big cheer to your son! / Mikael

Brian Collins is 'Two Minute Warning' on the British speedway forum.

Really bad for finnish speedway. Sad to read. But as Brian Collins is writing it is maybe all upon money. However if its money or not it is a strange decision.

Thanks Lydia!! The Swedes with Robban Pettersson as their main man didnt do that bad.

Come on you SWEDES!
