Shadders 4,135 Posted May 8, 2013 I was all set to do the 500 mile round trip, but then I saw this... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2642607 and thought, nah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boobs 140 Posted May 8, 2013 The Redcar track has been so bad for the past three weeks, no amount of rain could make it any worse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foamfence 2,917 Posted May 8, 2013 Rye House have a good record at Redcar, but James Sarjeant as a guest? He won't even see the dust from Dyer (and there is likely to be plenty, if recent meetings are any guide). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He won't even see the dust from Dyer (and there is likely to be plenty, if recent meetings are any guide). Lambert is the lowest averaged Rye rider now so it has to be a NL guest, Sarjeant is the best available in that category in fairness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drac 83 Posted May 8, 2013 Won't be much dust around if you believe the weather forecast. Certainly looks like I won't be missing your visit judging by the forecast 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,135 Posted May 8, 2013 Lambert is the lowest averaged Rye rider now so it has to be a NL guest, Sarjeant is the best available in that category in fairness. And as he's based in the North his travel expenses will be a lot less. Certainly looks like I won't be missing your visit judging by the forecast I'll see you at the restaging 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boz 316 Posted May 9, 2013 Probably being very naive here, but am hoping the charade of the last few weeks will not be repeated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 316 Posted May 9, 2013 Been a bit of drizzle so far but nothing substancial. Going from forecasts heavier stuff is coming our way - fingers crossed it can avoid us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,135 Posted May 9, 2013 Not taking the risk. Don't fancy the 500 mile, 9 hour round trip, just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmiddlesbrough 76 Posted May 9, 2013 hardly had anything near the track all day, it was forcast from 1pm onwards then changed to 4pm now 7pm having a little drizzle now but nowt to write home about. hoping the track can be sorted PROPERLY and ON TIME as its starting to make us look a right laughing stock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 316 Posted May 9, 2013 Just to echo Mr M, been steady drizzle in center of middlesbrough for a while - but not enough to even create puddles. Dare I say it could even make for a decent racing surface? Last rainfall radar I seen, we were about half way through the rain band so fingers crossed for nothing heavier!
