The Smederna meeting hasn't yet started as
the referee isn't happy with the track, in case anyone was wondering.
Correction Schumi.
I arrived around 18.30 and the track weren't the usual boring gp style slick fest.
Instead it was quite wet since Smederna had watered it due to the sunny weather during the day then a cloud cover appeared just after their last watering of the track.
My first impression was surprise but then i thought
"Finally they try to make a proper home track of it".
They put some fresh dry gravel on and started to prepare it. Around 19.20 home captain Zorro explained to the spectators that Smederna wanted to ride since the track were in they shape they wanted.
Apparently Rune Holta in the away team Indianerna were not happy about and Zorro said that Rune thought it was too wet and had complained too the ref. The ref, Joakim Lindroth surely was very weak minded since he granted Runes request and ordered a full re grading of the track removing the top shale causing another 50 minutes of delay and a return to more slicker inside line racing.
I am very upset about the referee instead of listening to the home team he listens to the request of the away team and start preparing the track according to their wishes and thus removing the advantage of the home track..
Note that Smederna for many years have had problems benefiting from their own track and for this meeting decided to try and fix that.
Luckily Zorro showed the way to Victory and little sissy Rune had a poor night *evil grin*
Once we got going it become a rather good meeting with more passings then usual.
The best heat in the meetinng was when sorry smashed a 5-1 lead fro the Indians by doing some very nice passings on the inside of the Indians on the home strait for two laps in a row
We closed the shop with 2x 5-1 in heat 15 & 16. It was really really pleasing to see King and Max force rune to eat dirt in ht15.
Also note that since the clutch on Danny's bike burned prior to the heat he barrowed a bike from Jimmy Jansson with Linus Eklöf's rear wheel on it.
( Jimmy is son of Smederns Team Manager Bo Jansson and Jimmy is also the nephew of Tommy Jansson.)
Then equally pleasing to see Zorro and Jagoda shine in ht 16.
My opinion about Smedernas riders;
1. Kasprzak: Totally awful no speed at all and very slow in the start.
2. Zorro: A very fantastic evening for Zorro with 13+1 the best rider of the meeting.
3. Danny King strikes again
another solid performance from Mr King who have become quite popular among the fans.
A bit more speed and a bit better starts and he can start tangle with the big boys.
*thumbs up*
4. Mikael Max, i am a bit shocked really i never expected him to do this well from nr 4 but its a nice surprise
5. Jagoda, as usual reliable but should have scored at least 1 or 2 p more in heat 14.
6. Linus *Curly* Eklöf. He took the points you can demand and pretty good speed. Especially when you have in mind that he rode with borrowed carburettors because of the break in in Smedernas garage where Linus lost both his carburettors.
7. Buczek well i would have expected a bit more from him especially from the reserve. IMO he should rest next week in favour of Vaculik or Miskowiak.
