If I were involved I'd be proposing things to the BSPL/FIM whoever is in charge because I do think it's that serious. Some of the more inexperienced riders (and the Aussies of course) seem to get mentally switched off at the merest hint of a wet track these days. I'd be looking to ban the high revving short-stroke engines for one thing as they do seem to 'take off' alarmingly when more grip is encountered mid/exit of the turns (leg waving doesn't help either). I don't think, even thought it's title is speedway, that bikes need to go any faster and I know there are a lot of 'tuners' out there whose business depends on this search but I'm sorry, the fans should come first.

I think we will do it myself. Something like.. RL/NK 19, BB/NKI/ Kvech 18, reserves 12. 49-41 will do me. -

The ones who are confused are the BSPL and Poole!
Yes it appears that the name of Poole’s meeting is now being changed to make it sound like the Development Series and not the NLRC. But that’s not what they announced! How can the fans be expected to willingly attend a meeting and part their money when the authorities can’t even tell us conclusively what the meeting is for -

If every meeting was called off at the mere hint of rain then not much speedway would run at all in the UK. Sometimes it goes for you, sometimes it doesn't. That's the nature of a weather dependent sport in a country with generally unsettled weather. Forecasts are frequently incorrect and often different forecasters offer completely contradictory forecasts. Oxford gave it a good go last night and if the rain had held off for just another 30 or 45 minutes then the meeting would likely have completed without issue. That's the way it goes. The better question might be how can bikes or tyres be adapted to better cope in wet/icy conditions? -
It was down on the speedway gb site as the ndlrc championship now its been changed to the series.

By contrast, the track didn't look soft at all. It was hard and slick which unfortunately meant that the steady rain caused issues. Sometimes the weather goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. Had the rain held off for another 30 to 45 minutes then the meeting would have been completed without issue. Oxford tried their best and credit to them for that. If every meeting was called off at the mere hint of rain then not much speedway would run at all in the UK - certainly not during the current period of extremely unsettled weather!
