Expand Met office: dry Friday and Saturday, light Rain possible from 4pm Sunday, dry from 4am Monday for the rest of the day, so I don't class that as horrendous. If the that forecast is correct there is no excuse for the meeting not being on. That said forecasts can change at any time so who knows. Checking Net Weather (who are pretty good) its an even better forecast, so fingers crossed. Edited September 26, 2024 by SUPERACE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a notoriously difficult track to get dry quickly, so bad the play off final had to be run at K Lynn a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I refer you to Big Al's post earlier, and also to say that the ground is absolutely sodden in the Leicester area, when we had the downpour again yesterday everywhere was flooding again, so any work they'd managed to do when it was dry yesterday is likely to have been overwhelmed again.

Expand I'm not a track man, but if it does stay dry Friday and Sat, then there is no excuse for it not to be in a good condition by Sunday. I think they have done work on the drainage since the play off and Jubilee fiasco, so hopefully that helps. The weather was poor for the semi final V Ipswich and i though the track held up well. My concern is the weather forecast changing again. If not lets go to Kings Lynn, I've heard our guest NKI goes well there 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If as forecast it stays dry Friday and Saturday, then that should be enough to get a track ready to race. Then just need to hope Sunday isn't too bad rain.
