The race times were not too slow(around 59-60 seconds) & as others have said, it was towards the end of the season when Poole had quite a few more meetings to race so just got on with it, hoping to be in front after heat 10 so the result could be declared. Was it not, also, the meeting when the away manager tried to use a TS in heat 8? Yep.Was heavy rain about 17-30 for a good hour or so before the start.

Both social media and the club website updated at midday, well before anyone needed to set off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its like the boy who cried Wolf I take it you won't be picking up the bill for the travel and track medical staff, etc, if it was called off. Not to the mention of home/travelling fans wasting time and money to get to a non event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
