4thbender 382 Posted August 25, 2022 8 Hours to go and it's pouring. Maybe the sun will come out later. Based on last week's experience, there should have been an announcement by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 416 Posted August 25, 2022 It’ll be ok - the BBC weather forecast says no rain today at all… hence I’m at work in shorts and t-shirt with no coat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathcote 51 Posted August 25, 2022 Quote 8 Hours to go and it's pouring. Maybe the sun will come out later. Based on last week's experience, there should have been an announcement by now. Sure last weeks earlier call off was due to riders etc travelling from Ipswich and also to prevent the TV crew from setting up, this week as its Belle Vue they can leave it till 4pm. There is also the fact that they are now getting to the stage of the season where they are going to have to ride in pretty much any conditions, given the fact they have so far crammed 8 home meetings into the first 22 weeks of the season and are now faced with 6 definite home fixtures and possibly 8 with the Play off semi and final in the last 9 weeks of the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rain due to stop soon and then they would have 4 hours in 20 degree temperatures for it to dry and work on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fina 78 Posted August 25, 2022 could it just be the Premier Junior League that's been called off and not the entire meeting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even with a delay. Poole got there track raceable last week in 1 hour. Sheffield got 4/5 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to forecast on my iphone rain stopping now, which it has here (5 miles from track) and then sun coming out, though cloudy, and temperatures up to 22 C. But if there are dogs running this afternoon they might only have an hour or so to work on the track, after they've inflated the air fence. Any body know any different - Charlieboy?
