Rain stopped at about 2.00pm today, now dry and bright. There is some sun bit it's low and weak. Let's hope that there is a long period now of dry, windy weather this evening and tonight to give track that bit of help.

Sorry to rain on your parade waspie (no pun intended) but sky is showing that the next band of rain sweeps into Wales during the night travelling eastwards reaching Newport at about 3.00am and continuing to rain for the rest of the day and into Sunday evening. The only dry area showing is to the North East and parts of Scotland. Let's hope it's not too heavy and Tim can get it on and finished.

Just spoken to Tim and he says the meeting is going ahead. The majority of forecasts are giving light rain or showers and he says that the track will be able to cope and that the riders he has spoken to are raring to go. With the line up they have I reckon they will be giving it their all as well so should be a good meeting.

If it is really wet i hope no one take too many chances!! We dont want any injuries for the new season.

The latest forcast that I have seen on Metcheck shows it raining all day, I will be very surprised if the meeting goes ahead.
