On top of that it has poured down till teatime today, Saturday, which made it mission impossible. With dogs on tonight the problem could not be tackled till the morning. Just REASONS not excuses.

DavyH 164 Posted June 11, 2017 BREAKING NEWS. Neil Vatcher has awarded the 4 points to Edinburgh as Alex Harness has successfully appealed that his side could slide their bikes through the water before the curfew Sorry Keith, this is slightly wrong - because we are the Monarchs we make the rules and cheat every meeting, we have been awarded 6 points and a point knocked off each rider's average 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DiamondGlory 58 Posted June 11, 2017 It's been bright sunshine all day here. I live 2 minutes from the track. Would it really have been impossible to save? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leander 495 Posted June 11, 2017 It's been bright sunshine all day here. I live 2 minutes from the track. Would it really have been impossible to save? have you seen the photos!!!! If not go to diamonds facebook page. There is an enormous volume of water to pump of the track and you will need somewhere to put it. You'd then have to get rid of the current track surface as it's like mud and relay a fresh track surface. Bearing in mind the limited amount of time Newcastle have access to the track they'll do well to get it ready for next week. Pray for a dry, hot, windy week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toontrader 72 Posted June 11, 2017 So after the Newcastle meeting was called off around 7pm last night, one of our riders was able to arrange to ride in a meeting in Poland this afternoon. Arranging flights and gear to get there. Yes the same rider who couldn't get from Stansted to Newcastle in eleven hours for the British Semi Final. Robert Lambert Racing 55 mins · Start Gniezno v Speed Car Motor Lublin As the meeting at Newcastle got cancelled off, I was able to ride today in Gniezno for Lublin. In my first heat a rider took m off and O got excluded then I have got a third. Set up was not good. However, we have sorted that and I got three race wins followed by a third behind my team mate - makes 1️⃣1️⃣➕1️⃣. Unfortunately, the team lost with 57:33. Next meeting is on Wednesday at Kings Lynn. Just noticed from Robert Lamberts racing calendar 16 July TZ Ostrow Wlkp. v Km Cross Lublin so misses Newcastle v Workington 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd put money on him being at Newcastle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
