Bryn Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 (edited) URGENT PLEA!!! If there is anyone going to Rye tonight from the Kent area who has a spare seat in their car, please phone 077734 935468 asap. Would explain that I've had a phonecall this morning from LS - apparently poor old Craig Saul is stuck at an airport in the USA and can't get back in time so yours truly has agreed to step into doing the announcing. (means I've gotta have a shave now!) Cheers Bryn Edited May 12, 2007 by Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Brian Foot was my favourite rider at that time. I still however, consider myself to be in the whippersnapper category given the age of those I attend the Rye with.

Sir Ted Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Peeing it down now <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I live 4 miles down the road from the track with the weather heading from my direction to the track. We have had a shower for about 5-10 minutes but it has stopped now. overcast but still quite bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 As its an FIM meeting the track would have to be under ten foot of water to be called off. They will run the meeting tonight no matter what. To many riders and officials from all over Europe have come over for the meeting to call it off. Plus Len won't want to pay for them to fly back over again. Hopefully the track is not overly wet and we can get some good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Ted Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Any news? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just rung the track again and have been told the decision will now be made at 6.30. It is raining at the track but every effort will be made to race the meeting. I suppose we knew the latter point given that it is an FIM event. I'm probably going to chance it so this might be the last you from me for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ted Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 (edited) Just spoke to my mate who is track side who in his words said that it is "effing pi$$ing down". He is going to ring me in 5-10 minutes and let me know what is going on. Looks like i probably won't chance it.
