The meeting was cancelled because the promoter took it upon himself to pull the plug rather than wait and see. Either way its cost him money and a certain amount of credibility, not that he has much anyway, at least with fans of other tracks. I'm sure that will bother Rob not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonds85 699 Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) The track was perfect yesterday morning... Amateurs riding it no problem whatsoever. It was watered at least 3 times that I saw (including before anyone even rode it) I heard whispers that the power was accidentally cut to the stadium Friday morning and the club was too embarrassed to admit, so just called it for the weather (or lack there of) Kinda silly really Edited May 22, 2022 by Diamonds85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin bass 249 Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) I dunno how to copy the post but it said summit like " just to compound the weather situation the power supply to stadium had been cut (12.05) and still not restored" That was posted at 16.08 i think.
