Light drizzle for the last hour.

The BBC Forecast, which is about the most accurate of a bad bunch, shows (for Coventry Airport - the closest locality available) rain throughout the rest of the day; apart from a brief spell of sun from 1-2pm, then dry between 3-4pm. This is then succeeded by, constant light rain again from 4pm and, most worryingly, heavy rain between 7-9pm.

 

Last Friday morning I'm sitting here contemplating Cov Friday OR Monday night, as I was intending to drive down to Lakeside on Saturday for the debacle with Poole. Despite the fact that it's nearly June this dire cold, wet Bank Holiday weather is depressing, to say the least. 3 potential meetings to choose and it looks like they'll all be a washout.

 

Never mind, a fortnight of sun come August and next year, all those people with short memories, will be reflecting upon what wonderful weather we've had in 2014.

Stopped raining after hour of light rain. Meant to dry up by 3pm. Some forecasts are saying a heavy shower later some are saying chance of rain.

Think its going to be touch and go, whatever rain fell this morning wouldnt have done to much damage to the track. Having said that if it continued like that for most of the day it wont go ahead. Need a bit of luck.

If its on it will be a rubbish meeting with the amount of rain the track has taken over the last few days think I will save my money

[ProudtobeaBrummie 646]

If it's on I'm going to support my team regardless of track condition

[P T Preece 262]

Im going to set off at 4pm, Im only coming from Solihull, so not much fuel wasted if its off, I can still go the cinema if its off, showcase only down the road.

Don't be such a miserable git!

 

I'm a Lakeside Supporter, but I'm still going.......if it's on. Anything is better than sitting in the pub with a constant stream of poxy football on the box.

[Bees_Man 454]

[Woz01 3,589]

A post on facebook suggests its off.
