Najjer 2,890 Posted May 10, 2013 Just read this, and thought it was some sort of joke - It's been dry all day and the sun is still shining now, literally a couple minutes away from the track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 340 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Very strange, I'm 12 miles from the track and it's been dry all day, damage must have been done last night. Plymouth also off. Mrs OT will have to get something out of fridge now for my dinner. Edited May 10, 2013 by oldtimer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must say I'm amazed it's off due to a waterlogged track, we had heavy rain upto about 8oclock last night, we've had alot worse though especially as there hasn't been a single drop today.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted May 10, 2013 good early call from the promotion saved a few people needless travelling expense Quite agree. Early calloffs are very welcome for travelling fans and away teams, so you would think it would be applauded. Instead some on here always seem to be '2 minutes from the track no sign of rain'. Wish they played golf with me, and I wouldn't have so many non starts or walkins due to rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drew2 252 Posted May 10, 2013 Must say I'm amazed it's off due to a waterlogged track, we had heavy rain upto about 8oclock last night, we've had alot worse though especially as there hasn't been a single drop today. I was teaching last night from 3.30pm until 9pm next door and i can assure you it wasn't wet enough to flood a track as when i left there weren't even any puddles on the ground. I was there this morning again at 10am and the track wasn't under water so surprised to see the reason stated for the mid morning call off as 'track waterlogged' as opposed to the possibly truer line of 'called off due to a lousy weather forecast for later'. I was in Dorset playing a Pro Am this afternoon (and got soaked) and drove back home in steady rain so it was the right call but not the right reason given. Quite agree.

Wish they played golf with me, and I wouldn't have so many non starts or walkins due to rain. If you played golf with me at present you would get wet as i always seem to be getting soaked. Twice now this week i have stayed dry for 16 holes and then it decides to pour down at the end of the round! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless we move house we will ALWAYS be a few minutes from the track, if we move nearer we will be nearer the track, if we move further away we will always we further from the track unless we move again, in which case we will be ********************** . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
