Armchair fan that’s a new one for me never been suggested I’m that before! With the forecast for the rain to stop sooner than it did and both teams already trackside I can see why the Ipswich promotion endeavoured to get the meeting on. forecast was incorrect, there was more rain and for longer than expected. given the third and fourth bends were completely flooded last year mid afternoon and they managed to run a decent meeting that evening I’m sure had the rain stopped as was was forecast given an 1hr30 from 1815 to tapes up they could’ve put in the requisite track work to stage the meeting. rain didn’t stop meeting got called, one of those things that can’t be helped sometimes

The thing with passing is people do also sometimes have to accept that the quickest riders are also the better gaters

Not understanding the affect of water falling from the sky is a new low even for this forum

Careful that’s far too rational for this forum

Ipswich are a very professionally run club are you suggesting Chris Louis would lie?

From the witches website Ipswich line-up with Charles Wright guesting for Jason Doyle. Doyle boarded his flight back to the UK on Monday but due to issues with the plane, all passengers were told to disembark.

My understanding is they are set with the caveat of flexibility if track conditions dictate a need to move it a race or two for safety

Grading timing due to weather and track getting a bit choppy. Riss was comfortably in front of Danny, lots of riders were turning that bit earlier due to how greasy the track was getting and skating across the track somewhat, king just misjudged and wiped him out don’t think he can have any complaints for the decision

Tbh Thursday they prepared the track slicker anticipating the rain that came, bomber never been a gater and a slick track rider has he, last couple seasons he’s been pretty good at Foxhall, his worst season like a lot riders was the one he actually rode for us - probably those couple of years were the worst in his career tho been significantly better again recently. Way back when him and KK won the pairs at Foxhall for Coventry too so he’s had good nights at Foxhall throughout his career

Klindt goes better at Foxhall than riss, weird team change that must be more to it

How’s it looking trackside now? Raining at mine atm

What a dumb strategy that is

I mean met office has forecast rain on and off throughout today all week and been pretty accurate today

I think technically you’re not supposed to take food/drink in but I’ve never been stopped and told the drink in my coat pocket can’t come in with me…so discretion advised but should get away with it unless you’re trying to smuggle a Christmas hamper hah seats are unreserved as far as I’m aware but I stand rather than use them, hope you enjoy your visit

King was superb, Dan T a very promising start to 2024 Carey on like that he’ll be one of if not the best RS, improvement to come from rew and Ellis, Jenkins solid, Emil missed the start early on but once dialled he was unstoppable. Belle vue ran way too many last places - will struggle on the road if they carry on like rhat
