Weather.co.uk has got Newport as having a cloudy but dry night Saturday evening with showers beginning from 4am and then light rain from Sunday evening. So it must be possible to put the meeting on depending on the severity and frequency of the showers !!

ANNOUNCEMENT -

 

Mr Wong will sadly now not be in attendance on Sunday due to a severe case of mange in the family!

Coward! :P I'm sure mange is treatable. A few of the Wolves fans get this regularly so I bet they could pass on the details of a quick cure. Ask Stevebrum - he is the expert. :lol:

The weather forcast does not appear to good generally.However Newport has a good record for putting meetings on, has it ever lost a New Year Classic to the weather??,

I would guess not many.

In 2000 they were racing through puddles! this should give you some idea of how wet it was!

 

Good race and he missed the tapes twice. The infield was still interesting. Remember running across to the second bend to reach Derrol Keats and ended up in one of them canyons. :D

Thats my 1 real memory of Derrol Keates, forgetting he was coming out of the second bend so it was a good idea to stop turning, so ending up back first in the fence! Other than that I just remember some mad, out of control speedway rider!

Raining here still at the moment. Just checked the forecast on sky which says the rain will clear later this afternoon and into the evening, staying dry and windy this evening and into the night. However, rain is forecast for tomorrow so let's hope that the dry, windy spell this evening and tonight can give the track some respite and hopefully dry it a bit before it rains again tomorrow. I know the track is prepared hard and flat with bad weather in mind and the track has a good reputation for draining well so fingers crossed that it will be OK tomorrow. As I said before, don those thermals, pack your sou'wester, wrap up warm and enjoy (he says praying to the heavens)!

Remember, Tim puts on this meeting with the clear intention of running it so takes the appropriate precautions with preparation. Let's get over there in force, watch some proper speedway (OK we might get a bit wet and uncomfortable but if the riders are willing to give it a go we should get out there and support them) and enjoy ourselves.
