Trish and i left mine at 6:20 and got all of about 5 miles when what looked like a huge white carpet fell out of the sky in about 2 mins completely covering the A34 to the point i couldn't even see the kerb let alone road markings or anything else - it was mental! Plenty of sideways action thanks to RWD though so that was fun scaring Trish

Got home and couldn't even drive up my road though as it's a bit of a hill so had to park the car up and walk the last bit.

Glad we hadn't left any earlier and got to Oxford or something!

Any ideas when it will be re-scheduled? Feel for Silverstone as we had to abandon last years due to Weather too

sounds like you had fun. i drove over to my mates to pick him up. checked the web when i got there and saw the post about cancelling.

went home, got back in bed, then spent the morning building a snowman with my little boy!

i hope it gets rescheduled as i actually like the track. it holds up ok for a regional, but couldn't really cope with the EoS finals. I always thought it was a bit risky having it first, as we experienced with Swindon a couple of years back. I thought one of the astro tracks would have been a safer bet, but assume there was a logic from the committee to boost numbers at the first track etc.

I think that Silverstone wanted the biggest possible gap between their rounds so the track had time to recover.

I may do the rescheduled round now as we were enjoying our first running on the new track at Swindon on Sunday. Although I know some of our members made it to Silverstone to find out it was cancelled.

Ref the Swindon track, someone at the clubs been trying to do some panoramic shots:
