#LUBGOR
For second match in a row Polish youngsters Wiktor Lampart (18 yrs) and Viktor Trofymov (19 yrs) won the reserve Heat 5:1 to give home team, SPEEDCAR MOTOR Lublin, a great start in this key match in the race to stay out of the sixth place in the table and avoid the relegation playoff.
It took until heats 5 and 6 for the visitors got their eye in and win a heat on points as first Szymon Wozniak, and then Krzysztof Kasprzak, lead to take two 2:4 heats in a row for visiting STELMET STAL Gorzów.
But Lublin responded two wins of their their own, first a 4:2 and then a 5:1 in heats 7 and 8 as first Andreas Jonsson, and then Lampart, took the victory. That meant they were ahead 28:20 and the bonus points was also in reach.
Gorzów has won the home fixture by eight points back in Round 2, so now it was critical that, even if they lost, to keep the margin down as low as possible and at least retain the bonus point.
But in Heat 11, who else but Lublin’s Mikkel Michelsen took the win. The Dane’s weekend was nothing but sensational. He came from Saturday when he won the SEC Round 3 in Vojens in home soil and even gives himself a realistic chance at the title in September.
The final four heats all finished 3:3 so the scores read 50:40 on the night and 91:89 on aggregate.
The win and the bonus lifts Lublin out of sixth place and the relegation playoff. They were replaced by no other than their opponents, Gorzów, who are slumping in form at exactly the wrong time.
The final matches on the season will decide these teams fate.
