Paulco Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Very humid , but no rain so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidmango Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Forecast says shower at 3pm and then fine. Even if the shower is heavy I can’t see it being an issue given the temperature. The good old news is it’s also not supposed to be windy which should minimise the dust issues we had last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy rain and thunder is forecast for the central belt it might hit Ashfield it might not. A few years ago we had a big black cloud over Ashfield some afternoons and the rest of the Glasgow area was dry. we just have to hope the rain misses Ashfield or perhaps hits it for an hour to give it a soaking and the temperature will do the rest, its getting hot!

Solidmango Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 At the track now and it looks in the best condition it has done this season. Plenty of water going down and plenty of dirt on the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Did Scunny actually use a tac sub ride as Updates said Allen came in as one in heat 5, but he was eligible for R/R then anyway? Also once IRR came into play, I can’t see the logic of using Gino in heat 9 or Phillips in heat 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phillips one confused us as well, although they announced early on that Manzares had a plane to catch from Stansted at 7am and with the meeting delayed a fair bit he may have been struggling to get away in time if he’d ridden heat 14. His van was down and ready to go before heat 15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidmango Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Thoroughly enjoyable meeting with some of the guys hitting some very good form. track was significantly better than last week and the personal explanation of the sittuation from Gerry was appreciated.

Didn't hear start of it but think jist was that in widening the track they had to dig into the old base and with the weather they haven't been able to get it right. He thanked track staff and everyone who helped particularly over the last week including Doc Bridgett and he got a round of applause from the crowd. Theres and interview with Chris Harris on Glasgow facebook worth watching were he also touches on the track problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Meant to say earlier but Workington was on my mind some really good racing after the first few heats with Aaron, auty and Allen giving it a go. Track still not perfect but getting there. We have a decent run of Friday matches coming up and with last nights draw things are looking up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
