DunRobin 465 Posted May 29, 2017 Means 47%chance of rain Can't use new averages until All teams have completed 4+4, until then its the original 50pts aves that apply Not strictly true as rules state that BSPA can if averages not attained by 1st May then BSPA can impose averages based on actual rides. Not at sure as to when this likely to happen as we are way past that date. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DunRobin 465 Posted May 29, 2017 Robin's site says new date for meeting to be announced later. Why didn't they just re-arrange it for Thursday, it's a reserved date! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gresham78 215 Posted May 29, 2017 Just announced on Wiltshire Radio that restaging next Thursday was considered but Grajczonek and Wright both riding for their Championship sides that night. Robins now considering a double header on August bank holiday.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted May 29, 2017 Blo##y forecasts, all over the place, no rain forecast from 3 and it poured down. The rain stopped and the riders were told if there was no more rain the start would be delayed till 6pm, a couple said they would be prepared to hang on for a 7pm start, even though a couple had put their bikes back in their vans and one or two had not even got them out. The pumps were clearing the water on bend 3 but about 3.45 it poured down again so the ref called the meeting off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted May 29, 2017 Just announced on Wiltshire Radio that restaging next Thursday was considered but Grajczonek and Wright both riding for their Championship sides that night. Robins now considering a double header on August bank holiday.. No meetings for weeks & thinking of a double header is madness, surely?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robins now considering a double header on August bank holiday.. This season is getting to be a joke! At this rate the new averages won't come in until after the cut-off date for team changes! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted May 29, 2017 And frustratingly looking like it's brightening up now ...can remember once when it emptied down about 6.45 Rosco helped with pumping the first corners off and Leigh I think set his track record! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DunRobin 465 Posted May 29, 2017 And frustratingly looking like it's brightening up now ...can remember once when it emptied down about 6.45 Rosco helped with pumping the first corners off and Leigh I think set his track record! Spot on. Remember it well but that was before riders decided that wet tracks were too dangerous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
