That's faster than the race for the toilets after eating one of the pies they sell there

faster than about 90% of riders in the championship this season when you consider 60mph was the going rate of speed down the straights.

 sure are thick skinned up ower the border .

I wouldn’t bother replying to half the crap posted on here, meant to be a speedway forum to discuss but so far this season it’s filled with trolling.

So you would be up for a match race with Miss Liebmann then?

Thick skinned to repel the hours of sun we get , with the exception of a 40 mile radius east of Harthill.

Looking at the forecast this morning, were they a bit previous calling this one off?

[allthegearbutnaeidea 1,735]

A wind off when wind speeds are 30mph, and gusts are 50mph per met office… That’s a bit of an embarrassing call off, when you had a good crowd in last week. Punters will soon fall back out of habit.

I guess wiating until this morning might have been a good idea in hindsight but there is a yellow weather warning associated with a named storm and the track is right on the coast with very little shelter. 

Nowadays (rightly or wrongly) health and safety of paying customers is paramount and can sometimes go OTT, but it is what it is.

Can not understand this call off looking at a few forecasts. Think the promotion were just looking at headlines 70mph winds. Workington forecast was 30mph winds with possible 50mph gusts. Not much rain forecast either.

They did the same with the BenFund meeting called that off early and weather was absolutely fine on the day.

30mph wind in Cumbria is the norm.

Any other sporting events in the region cancelled because of the weather warning?
