I like a meeting on an iffy track, always proves interesting, definitely upping the skill level required. A meeting on an “iffy” track is usually good, evens the playing field a bit aswell sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it's only mid September, it's just unlucky. August was a shocking month for rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was plenty of 'proper racing' in the British Final this year, despite the track being more difficult to ride than usual. Sadly, the sport has been in decline since the early 80s and increasing its popularity is all about marketing and the total offer, the actual racing has little lasting impact in my view - F1 is so dull from a racing perspective but maintains a large following.

old bob at herne bay Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 If Ippo get in quick they could call off the second leg based on a Met Office forecast of a shower for Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically if they had chosen 2nd leg at home like usual, would have been fine at Ipswich tonight and Thursday looks fine in Manchester.

Although personally I prefer the second leg at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue were always going to choose the Monday, because that has been their regular race night throughout the season. There has been heavy rain around Foxhall, although it is clear at 19:30. The track could have been quite interesting ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
