kelvinht 355 Posted August 25, 2016 Heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast for a swathe across the Midlands and across to the wash area.. Problem with this sort of set-up is that accuracy relating to the locations of the heavy showers and thunderstorms is nigh on impossible to nail down before they develop!! You could end up with a "train" of heavy rain or a "train" of thunderstorms hitting an area, when 5 miles down the road remains dry through the forecast period!! It's all about nowcasting and keeping an eye on the "High Resolution" Rain/lightning radars.. Hate these type of days. If I lived locally I'd definitely risk it, 120 mile round trip for a rain off or Swindon debacle take 2 I'm not so sure. But I really wanna be there....

Daniel Smith 5,675 Posted August 25, 2016 KING’S LYNN - WOLVERHAMPTON: Niels Kristian Iversen - Fredrik Lindgren = Draw Kai Huckenbeck - Rohan Tungate = Tungate Robert Lambert - Tai Woffinden = Woffinden Rory Schlein - R/R = Draw Troy Batchelor - Sam Masters = Masters Stefan Nielsen - Stuart Robson = Nielsen Lewis Rose - Max Clegg = Rose IMO, Wolverhampton's team side by side looks like a comfortable result for them. For me, if we're to get anything out the meeting it could well be our reserves that make the difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted August 25, 2016 What are conditions like in Kings Lynn at the moment? I'm in Leicester, and at the moment, any convection that is required to trigger heavy rain and thunderstorms is reduced locally at the moment... We have grey, cloud laden skies, which is stopping any of the nasty weather developing...... And if it stays like this, we won't be getting the thunderstorms... So, depending what Kings Lynn have at the moment, will have a huge influence in what you get later on... So it's not all doom and gloom weatherwise.... 😃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 25, 2016 2 miles from track it's warm, fair amount of cloud cover with patches of blue sky so occasional glimses of sunshine and a slight breeze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So glad you're coming Shale Searcher (weather is looking very good at the moment, so fingers crossed your journey won't be wasted), but please bring Messrs Hemsley, Machin & Darcy with you, armed with their cheque books, so they can pay all us KL fans money back they STILL owe us from the 16th July.

Daniel Smith 5,675 Posted August 25, 2016 Not sure Karlsson being missing is down to injury More likely he doesn't want to get injured, our track is a bit of a jinx on the lad. 2001 (I think) smashed his legs up by going through the fence while racing for the Stars 2013 Fractured vertebra racing for Lakeside His scores more often than not have been pretty poor so wouldn't surprise me if he gets a bit of the jitters when mentioning King's Lynn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,827 Posted August 25, 2016 Not sure Karlsson being missing is down to injury It is, otherwise we wouldn't get a facility. The bloke is 46 and had a crash on Monday, do the maths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,675 Posted August 25, 2016 It is, otherwise we wouldn't get a facility. The bloke is 46 and had a crash on Monday, do the maths. Ok, I'll rephrase. A little knock has given him an excuse to not race at King's Lynn. Like you say, he's 46. Why should he put himself in danger at a track he knows is a problem to him. Not criticising, I don't blame him for swerving his jinx track 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Fever 274 Posted August 25, 2016 Whatever - Tungate is in good form atm so an excellent replacement ....... ....hopefully Star's morale still good after last night's surprising result at BVue so hopefully they can deal with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why should he put himself in danger at a track he knows is a problem to him. Not criticising, I don't blame him for swerving his jinx track I'm of the same impression. The fact he has been replace by an inform Tungate questioned the situation. Had he been replaced by and out of salt rider, his excuse would be more feasible. The fact that Tungate inclusion has made them significantly stronger, its obviously it will be questioned. This this just another spin off of the problems generated, when it was decided to run protected heats putting the CMA all too cock...... This replacement would never had happened in the old style rules... Be interesting to see how many points Tungate scores.... cause PK never scores that many here....

I'd prefer PK racing tho but obviously his foot injury prevents him from doing that. Still, it could be worse we could have a number one who decides to miss meetings when it suits him! Hopefully the stars will be brought back to earth tonight with a wolves win. Please! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,113 Posted August 25, 2016 Hopefully Iversen can up his game from the last meeting he rode at home, he should be unbeatable on his own track, with improved form of the rest of the team at Belle Vue and with Lambert back the Stars should win.
