Recently, he participated in a great evening racing in Southern California, where there were three heat wins. Race Magazines Own US-correlate Lars Larsson helps Kim over there and has left an exciting travelogue. I thought at my age I have seen and experienced the most part but there are apparently still things to experience! But let me start from the beginning, up Kl.05.00 for working with Rospiggarnas speedway rider Kim Nilsson, go to Glen Helens REM race in motocross. Kim is here to train the speedway for 3 weeks to get well prepared for the season but then he is also a decent Motocross riders he wanted to also ride motocross races when the opportunity arises. Enough blew it alright on the way there, the car wandering between the files so it came to hold the steering wheel. When we arrived at the race site, judge of our surprise, there was no where. All set! It blew cats and dogs over the neighborhood so you can understand that it probably would not have been nice to ride motocross and blow of the track at every hope! So what do you do? Well it turns around and begins the trek to Perris in Southern California where it would run speedway racing in the evening. Perris is also a motorsports park, with cross trails, flat track court and even an adequate speedway stadium. Where did Kim chance to practice a little motocross in over an hour when we had gone on time, Speedway would not start until 17:00 How was it then that Kim would go this speedway race? Well it was so easy with a few phone calls, he was invited to participate in what was said to be a team event and when it was taken by a driver in the team called Vikings, so he was invited to compete for them. It sounded just fine, perfect workout instead of lying and grind for himself. And speedway racing became, though not perhaps not quite as we are used to from the series at home in Sweden. The team competition was in and of itself is actually just as at home, four drivers on the starting line, the same score calculation and so on, but then there was a little different! It turned out that in addition lagspeedwayen it was further part classes that would compete. Two other teams went a league match, sidovagns heats, 150 cc in two divisions, support class, Pee Wee class and junior speedway, all in a delightful mix. All in all it was running 54 heats (yes you read that right, 54 heats) in three hours and 20 minutes which included a 20 minute break for banpreparering. First we got out a program for Vikings vs Rebels, Kim would go Heat 3, 6, 10 and 13 heats and then possibly nomination race. Easy as it was thought the series speedway has of course been to before. The next program sheet that came out so it proved Heat 6, 18, 26 and 38 heats the whole, but still 3-6-10-13 in the team competition! Good thing you do not suffer from bad nerves, this was to keep themselves cool. Rarely have I seen so much entertaining speedway this evening. Frequent heats with lovely overtaking in all classes and to see the little ones on their trimmed småhojar was a delight to the eye. I asked Kim several times how could it be that it was so good heats and the answer was always the same. It is the silencers! It runs thus with the old mufflers that allow bikes pulls evenly, allowing drivers can rely on stuff. To an outsider, one can then wonder how decision makers can allow it we go with at home that makes accident increases? They should be ashamed! How did it go for Kim during this circus (imagine if we had to go a place like this race at home, the evening for us Engine bitten)! Well in his first heat which was the third who became the sixth (Do you follow?) So fit them on to water the track just before the start. Kim made a perfect start from the fourth track, dived into the turn where it was GLASSY ICE and ended up in the fence. After this it was sheer three-pointers and with distinction! I long to park in Hallstavik to see how the year will be! I would also like to end by Yanks has a whole bunch of 15-16 year olds who will knock on the door in the near future Best regards, Lars Lasse America Larsson
