Thanks for checking on the conditions. Hopefully they will improve for Saturday. How does the pitting/camping area stand up to the rain?

[JBL]

Also what tyres would you use in the wet, Schumacher greens, Ballistic greens etc.

Trev - dads number is at bottom of my first post .

Jamesy - grass area for pitting ain't to bad in the rain. Bit of a muddy section before u get on it but if you go around that its fine .

Jbl - ain't sure on this as its long while since we hit the track when its wet . I'm sure it was ballistics tho

[bigtrev]

got it thanks adam hope to see you sat and sunday

thanks

I guess weather forecasting isn't an exact science!

I'll take the Metcheck forecast.

Has anybody been to the track today to see how it is? We've had quite a bit of rain locally.

Adams put some pics up on FB, looks fine for now, a few small puddles off line but nothing to stop a meeting. Im sure he will post here shortly

Yeah just been down getting rid of the big puddles. fast and we was spreading them out the track was drying . The main problem we get when it rains is the puddle at the start of the straight. We just put in a second loop and modified the track to avoid that area just incase . Other problem areas if we need to can also be avoided . So basically unless it really chucks it down tomoz shouldn't be an issue to race .

Just a warning getting to the pitting area tho. It's a bit muddy head out towards the burger van before you cut across . The grass area itself for pitting is perfectly fine tho

See ya all in the morning

Big thanks to all who cleared all the water off the track only for the heavens to open and ruin all the good work
At least we got the 4wd regional completed on saturday

My response entirely, shame the heavens opened when the track looked fit to race on.

[racingben]

Yes thanks guys for your hard work. Shame mother nature didn't agree with toy car racing today!

[Dave Dodd]

Piccies here on FB

Big pat on the back to all who helped clearing the track

******* weather Grrrr

although had good laugh, good weekend & 4wd was brilliant
(yes it did finish all the races despite making everyone wait while i fitted a new hinge pin )

[Robbiejuk]

Gutted about today, cocked my season right up now. About three hours track clearing for five minutes of rain to put it all back again.

Still the 4wd on saturday was ace

[Dave 1975]

Yeah it's a shame there isn't more indoor venues to fall back on... The weather seems to be getting worse these days with frequent rainy summers!
