Leicester couldn't get a dry track in the play offs even with buster's help. If the rain is at heavy as forecast today it will take a lot of drying out before it can be worked on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about choices. If it stops raining at 4am as forecast there are zero excuses for the meeting not to run. There are reasons Ipswich might not want it to run but that's a choice. I also wouldn't blame them if they choose the call off route either, they should do what's best for them without breaking the rules, bending them though, yes why not lol.

Rob B Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 They managed to sort this in May, tomorrow won’t be an issue especially with Phil Morris and Eurosport there watching.   https://x.com/ipswichspeedway/status/1657056792608747520?s=46&t=dIBO1b0Z20UuRPqs9f-4pg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Maybe a wet track would suit Ipswich, it certainly didn't suit Belle Vue in the cup at Wolves. Edited September 20, 2023 by foreverblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don’t know how they got that meeting on! And unless my memory is playing tricks, the track rode superbly that evening. Edited September 20, 2023 by Arch Stanton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want Jack for Belle Vue Monday, so is there yet another rule hidden somewhere that we have to use the same rising star for both meetings??

Kings Lynn, Leicester and Peterborough have finished their seasons, so Louis should name one of Kemp, Rowe or Jenkins and see what happens..... if refused .. well they are in a declared 1-7 for the 8 day rule guest section...
