woofers 467 Posted October 16, 2016 Was it good racing? Actually it wasn't bad, and a whole lot better than most of my group were expecting. The first few heats were a bit slippy and tentative but once the top surface had been "graded" by the bikes it was OK. It was tricky, but I bet it was a useful part of learning for some riders, remember some of these guys are novices, it is the NL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) I want to see the riders giving 100%, if the track is so they can't call it off, rain offs are part if the sport. Unless they start racing on concrete it will always be so .... To be fair I think we all want that and we can all accept that rain offs happen. The question lies in precisely how much effort is put in to making sure a meeting goes ahead. Mimmo has commented that the sun was coming out at 11.30; that's 4 hours before the start. Even if it had stopped at 1.00pm (as predicted) that's 2.5 hours. Could you do a track in the latter time ? I'd say so, and that's precisely the point that CR was making.

Guest Posted October 20, 2016 www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.31489 KING’S Lynn have confirmed the twice-postponed National League Pairs will not be re-staged this season.The meeting was initially scheduled for late-August but that and last weekend’s re-arrangement were both thwarted by the weather.Lynn co-promoter Dale Allitt said: “It’s not a decision that has been taken lightly, as a lot of work had gone into the staging of this event, we were proud to have it at King’s Lynn, and we apologise to all supporters.“It should be remembered that this meeting was originally to be run on a prime Saturday evening in the summer, and the weather was unfortunately against us on that day.“The situation now is that over the next two weekends Eastbourne and Birmingham are contesting the two major Finals, and there are also a number of other league matches scheduled to complete the season.“The Pairs is not the kind of event which can easily be run in midweek when you bear in mind travel and work commitments for riders and supporters, with clubs from throughout the league involved.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gee jay 234 Posted October 20, 2016 it's a bit of a shame that they seem have wasted a number of days before putting this statement out as there might have been time to switch it had it been decided straight after the second postponement . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted October 20, 2016 Or they could've scheduled the second attempt for during September, rather than leaving it to the last 2 weeks of October and running out of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
