That was the only point I was making ,the riders don't won't to ride if it continues to rain nowadays,I have been a regular at Berwick in the last 50 years and it is only Really Since the bikes got to powerful and they needed slick tracks the meetings have not been run in wet conditions I sure there are plenty older fans like myself who seen speedway on wet tracks,Berwick was one of the tracks that held up well in wet conditions compared to a lot of other I have visited.Nowadays if rain is falling we have the big chat at the pit gate before the ref cancels the meeting.IMO that is the downside of track covers.No way am I criticising the Promotions efforts but the riders rule the day not the ref.
