The in-form Indians hit bottom as they were beaten solid by last years winners Västervik. The current champions had Grand Prix ace Niels-Kristian Iversen at reserve, as Chris Harris had moved up to the main body, and Iversen top scored with a paid fifteen.

SMEDERNA - VARGARNA 64-32
Attendence: 2879
After losing by 22 points last week, Smederna turned it around completely by demolishing Vargarna in the bottom end clash. Billy Hamill was back and scored a paid fourteen.
Not much went to the away team, Leigh Lanham however won both reserve heat races and Berwick Bandit Andreas Bergström pulled off a shocker in winning heat 13, ahead of Hamill, Nicholls and Zagar! Not to much comfort for manager Åke Bergström I would guess...

1 [65.9]: Ljung, Eriksson, Richardson, Dannö. 4-2, 4-2.
Looked like a double victory but the team ride from the home pair wasn´t perfect, Richardson got stuck on the outside and Eriksson passed him exiting bend two on lap three. Dannö never in it.
2 [66.0]: Jedrzejak, Wegrzyk, Jonasson, Nilsson. 4-2, 8-4.
Throw a blanket over the three...at least for two laps! Jedrzejak eventually passed Wegrzyk on lap three for the heat victory.
3 [66.1]: Hampel, Ruud, Dannö (R/R), Nilsson. 5-1, 13-5.
First to last were divided by an entire straight. Hampel shed a chain on the final bend but was so far ahead that he still rolled in as heat winner.
4 [66.2]: Gapinski, Holta, Jedrzejak, Wegrzyk. 3-3, 16-8.
From the gate. Holta seemed caught by the track and almost hit the fence after a lap, he never recovered and Gapinski won easily. Jedrzejak comfortable in third.
5 [66.8]: Ljung, Jonasson, Skornicki, Wegrzyk (Fx). 5-1, 21-9.
Wegrzyk lead after a lap but was passed by both Jonasson and Ljung on the first/second bend of lap two and then fell under pressure from Ljung entering bend three, and was excluded, it seemed correct. Re-run from the gate.
6 [66.9]: Ruud, Hampel, Eriksson, Dannö. 5-1, 26-10.
Tapes to flag.
7 [67.0]: Ljung, Richardson, Eriksson (R/R), Skornicki (Ef). 5-1, 31-11.
Ljung and Richardson side by side for four laps. Eriksson at least tried to look interested but Skornicki suffered an engine failure while dead last after two laps.
8 [66.9]: Ruud, Hampel, Wegrzyk, Gapinski. 5-1, 36-12.
The home riders were sixty meters ahead of Wegrzyk, not particulary interesting.
9 [66.0]: Gapinski, Holta, Eriksson, Jedrzejak. 2-4, 38-16.
Gapinski went around Holta on the second bend to win it, Holta never got close! Eriksson comfortable third ahead of Jedrzejak.
10 [67.1]: Richardson, Gapinski, Eriksson, Jonasson. 3-3, 41-19.
Richardson passed Gapinski on the first lap but Eriksson managed to save a tied heat as he blasted inside Jonasson entering bend three of the final lap.
11 [67.5]: Jonasson, Jedrzejak, Wegrzyk, Nilsson. 5-1, 46-20.
Jonasson by miles. Jedrzejak happy to settle in behind him for a paid win.
12 [67.7]: Holta, Ruud, Gapinski (R/R), Eriksson. 5-1, 51-21.
Gapinski gated but both Holta and Ruud flew by him on the backstraight of the opening lap to win comfortably.
13 [69.0]: Ljung, Hampel, Skornicki, Dannö. 5-1, 56-22.
It takes two to tango, but no dance here...
14 [68.6]: Richardson, Holta, Dannö, Gapinski (Ef). 5-1, 61-23.
Richardson opened up for Holta on the opening bends for another double victory. Gapinski had an engine failure while third with two laps remaining.
15 [66.9]: Hampel, Holta, Skornicki, Wegrzyk (Ef). 5-1, 66-24.
Another trashing with Wegrzyk having an engine failure while third on the final bend.
16 [68.3]: Ljung, Ruud, Eriksson, Gapinski (R). 5-1, 71-25.
Gapinski retired while last with a lap to go.
For VMS Elit,
All riders produced the goods in an one sided affair.
For Bajen Speedway,
Gapinski made a couple of good starts and was able to hold on and Eriksson tried hard for his points but that was it.
Man of the match: Peter Ljung
Most exciting rider: Freddie Eriksson
