erniew Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Rain has now stopped 4 miles East of track. Forecast is possible showers mid afternoon then dry until later this evening, but this is England, so get your skis out! lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Jonny went in early this morning to start pumping the water off the track. We have cancelled the training school, which was due to go on at 1.00pm, and that was to allow him and his team the full afternoon to work on the track. It is expected to stop raining midday, so he has about 6 hours to get it raceable. Remember that last year Jonny produced some superb tracks in similar circumstances to this, so I am very hopeful as long as the raingods do their bit and stop the rain at the planned time.

Â Unfortunately with this last increase in rain it is now advised on the Diamonds website that the meeting is OFF, postponed.

NJC71 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 A bit surprised as the forecast from 4pm onwards is sunshine. Assume that is too late to get the track ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Have you seen the two photos that Jonny has posted on Facebook. The rain was expected to stop at lunchtime but it got harder about 10.45 and that was probably what changed the plan. The whole of the back straight under water and 3rd/4tf bends about 3/4 of the way across the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniew Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 It means that Richie will be at no.1 for the rescheduled meeting. it will be interesting to see if George decides to change the riding order with Robbo. not riding at 5, Anyone got an opinion on that?

The White Knight Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Isn't it typical? :rolleyes: Â It's a beautiful day here in Sunderland now, I'm not at all surprised that the 'Diamonds' Meeting is 'off' because of the amount of rain we have had over the weekend - BUT - it really is a lovely evening for Speedway. Â Ah well - 'Sod's Law' I suppose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 any updates on christian henry ? Â yes I would like to know how he is doing, will he be absent as long as Andrew was or can we expect him to sign himself off in a shorter length of time?

The White Knight Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 No point in him rushing back only to have a fall - and be out twice as long. I hope that he is soon fully fit (the sooner the better) - but - you can't rush these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniew Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I totally agree, WK, Coming back too soon is no good to either Christian or the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
