Default Broxtowe 4wd Regional 7th Sept

HI All,

Is the meeting going ahead on sunday... We've had heaps of rain here and its forecast to continue today, tommorrow and sunday (but a little less), i'm guessing you will have had similar to what we've had here (Blyth) and that this would have interfered with grass cutting etc..

Just wondering what the clubs thoughts were? try and run it/postpone it to a later date/end the season here?

Sorry to sound depressing, i dont mean to

James I live 2 minutes from the track and its pi$$in it down....

On a positive note the track drains well with it being on a bank.

But its not the best date for a regional, sandwiched between the EOS's and what are two long weekends..

Looking at the forcast thats not such a bad idea Rob, although the hall will no doubt be booked up for this Sunday.

If the meeting runs its going to be a muddy one....

I don't think the meeting can be abandoned until the actual day of racing can it? Robs suggestion of the astro could be a good alternative although I wouldn't like to be putting the astro away if it gets a good soaking, can imagine it would be quite heavy. Anyway I will be turning up on the morning and see what decision is made. Hopefulyl it will be like holbeach and I can get a good finishing score

Cheers, but I would struggle, theres some good lads in our region

With referance to Rob F's earlier post, I misread that one, the turf I would say is still managable when wet but I don't think it would be a good idea putting it away whilst wet, may flood the hut, go moldy... not sure

I was thinking today it might be an idea to run on the astro ,forecast is not good, its going to be hard to get the grass cut if my lawns are anything to go by!

Still pi$$in it down here.

If we try and run it, it may be another Holbeach! get wet and muddy, a couple of speedo's go pop, cancel the meet after two rounds and end up with topsy turvy results.

I say bring the season to a end now, i'll get 2nd place and James 19th. UNLUCKY Mr Helliwell

Such events will not be re-scheduled and any relevant championship qualification will be reduced accordingly i.e. if there were four rounds to count from six, then one abandoned event would mean there are three rounds to count from five, etc.



2nd...

its not bad, but not as good as 1st

I have slowly gone mad throughout the day, the rain has kept me indoors and has caused a serious case of cabin fever

I know the feeling mate, have been stuck in the office all day
Unfortunatly I will not be there Sunday come rain or shine. Have decided not to run 4wd until I get the CAT & after a two day event last weekend and one coming up the following a bit of quality time with the future Mrs Sharp wouldn't go a miss.
Hope it stays dry for you guys and that you have a good one, will try and pop down for an hour in the afternoon
