Super Blue Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 So what do we reckon on our chances of finally getting our season under way on Thursday? After the total washout that was supposed to be a feast of speedway over the Easter weekend hopefully we'll actually get a meeting to watch! The majority of the Witches have at least had some time on their bikes but not around the slightly reshaped Foxhall track. The only one who doesn't know his way round our home shale is Michael Hartel but hopefully it won't take him long to get dialed in. Anyway, looking at the potential teams it should theoretically be a comfortable home win whilst getting in some much needed laps and the guys starting to earn some money. Opinions? And weather permitting all systems go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646057 at the moment BCD the forecast is for more wet stuff right up until Thursday. That’s a hell of a lot of water the track will have taken considering the amount it’s already taken recently. The temperatures are on the rise it looks like though so hopefully that will help dry things out on Thursday if that forecast is accurate.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 It will certainly be a test of the new drainage A dry 24 before though always gives a chance when you have a decent set up to get things right Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pob Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Looking at the latest forecast on MET Office it looks like we may get lucky on Thurs. More rain due on Wed but Tue and Thurs should be dry . Think it's gonna depend on how much damage has already been done over the Easter weekend to the track with all the rain that's already come down.

And weather permitting all systems go. I can see only two possible outcome's , a easy home win or postponement due to waterlogged track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 A pleasant dry day with improving temperatures in the mid teens forecast for Thursday, but more showers expected throughout tomorrow. You have to wonder whether a full dry day on Thursday will be enough to dry out the track enough to prepare a meeting because the amount of rain that’s fell over the last handful of days has been ridiculous.

Following a wash out over Easter I should think their will be a few Panthers fans likely to come to this so regular weather updates over the next couple of days would be helpful.

Arch Stanton Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Been a mild day today with my car temperature showing 17 degrees. Even better it’s been windy too so that will have helped no end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 New system is all around and also zonal so individual area volumes can be adjusted. I popped in stadium and had a chat with the guy who just happened to be installing them that day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
