BuxtonTiger 122 Posted October 28, 2010 Am I the only one or following last nights lengthy meeting at Kings Lynn does the start time of 3pm at Buxton cause concern. With the clocks changing if it is a dark day then there will not be enough time to fit 15 heats in before the light fades,I would think it would not be safe for racing after 4.15pm. Does anyone know if it may start earlier at say 1.30pm to allow for a proper safe meeting and to give value for money to those who pay for admission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any earlier and I doubt I'd be able to make it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayne 312 Posted October 28, 2010 Just to clarify it will be first race at 3pm, the parade will take place at 2.45pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickiemint 2 Posted October 29, 2010 It will not matter what the start time is, the weather forecast is grim for sunday so I don't think the meeting will be on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayne 312 Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) It will not matter what the start time is, the weather forecast is grim for sunday so I don't think the meeting will be on. The meeting will go ahead if at all possible. At the moment there are no problems with the track and the forecast is for showers but that changes day to day. Edit: Just checked another site and they are forecasting light rain from 5pm so fingers crossed. Edited October 29, 2010 by Jayne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel 26 Posted October 30, 2010 I hope it's rained off simply because a one legged final is a complete farce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squall 270 Posted October 30, 2010 I hope it's rained off simply because a one legged final is a complete farce. And then awarded to Buxton as they finished above Newport in the league (before anyone mentions Dudley again, they didn't reach the playoff final, the league champions will be either Buxton or Newport regardless of what the rules should be) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted October 30, 2010 And then awarded to Buxton as they finished above Newport in the league (before anyone mentions Dudley again, they didn't reach the playoff final, the league champions will be either Buxton or Newport regardless of what the rules should be) Well THAT as a concept makes no sense. If it's rained off then the ONLY conclusion - based entirely on what you've argued - is that there is NO League champion for 2010. Which would be the entire fault, frankly, of all four clubs which made the play offs and knew they were in them from 12 September but made little to no effort to get the semis started as a process until over a whole month later... This was utterly avoidable and yet this is where we are now... IF the 'second leg' (sic) goes ahead, it'll result in a title win for Buxton which I'd say can be said to be deserved based on their two-legged win over Dudley who finished top of the division. By the time these play offs came Newport had no sort of a side so really were a spent force. Someone remind me again why the P/Os in the NL are a good idea..?!

billybikespeedway 75 Posted October 30, 2010 So If Newport go to Buxton on sunday and win Ht1 by 5-1 and the rains come down so much the meeting cannot continue ,does that mean Newport will be League Champions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
