Chris116 756 Posted October 14, 2018 Sadly the weather could mean this meeting is postponed. The start time has been moved to 5pm in the hope that the weather improves during the day. Good luck to both teams with a safe, exciting meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted October 14, 2018 I’m hoping to travel up from Ipswich. Could a kind soul local to Rye house tell me what is the current weather situation is please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 956 Posted October 14, 2018 Looking at the Radar via the met office that area is getting some pretty heavy rain right now, but whilst the weather front keeps going North West there is a chance they might only catch the edge of it, if it starts moving more Eastwards then no chance will the track be recoverable, It will be too flooded and what with the river being close by I would guess the water table is not on that locations side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What we need is weather reports now, is their anyone near to the track that can give us an update. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted October 14, 2018 On twitter it says the track is fine but I bet if this was supposed to be at 2pm It would be off, lets hope they can make it "raceable" by 5pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liam 376 Posted October 14, 2018 Too far for me to risk going but hope it’s on and it’s a good meeting with no injuries. Fingers crossed we can make that final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
