Main Man 222 Posted August 20, 2010 As we well know the Newport track drains quickly and speaking with Steve just now it has not had that much rain on it and the forecasts although they differ slightly all predict a dry evening. Have just spoken with Michael Max at Glasgow and told him that it's all systems go --so spread the word in South Wales please that the meeting is on. Glasgow are without Lee Dicken (r/r) and John Branney ( Michal Rajkowksi as guest). 7.45 PARADE. Happy Hour in Bar 6-7. Kids for a Quid. Karaoke in bar after . ....and the Floodlights are officially turned on!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BongoBrian 0 Posted August 20, 2010 BBC Newport Weather The heavy rain is supposed to arrive about 11:00am through to about 2 or 3pm... It will depend on how much the track gets and how 'drizzly' it is after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philcrumpisgod 18 Posted August 20, 2010 I ain't saying nothin' about the prospects for this evening's meeting, not after last week's against Rye House when Sky weather forecasted drizzle in the afternoon with the rain clearing by 6pm. It didn't Light won't be a problem this evening of course but the precipitation might be. Feel sorry for all those hardy souls making the long trek down knowing the weather isn't so good. I hope it's on and we get a great and historic meeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rajkowsi certainly strengthens The Tigers, can't imagine they were really sweating on the fitness of John Branney who is only marginally better than his brother at QM. Can't wait for this evening, c'mon the Wasps! JT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dietbowers 522 Posted August 20, 2010 A good job you have those floodlights then. Yep,they`ll go a long way towards drying the track out if it rains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
