Hope it drains well. Forecast rain. Lets hope they`ve got it wrong like Bingham.

Looking forward to this one, hope the weather is as good as Bridgford Regional

Rumour at Broxtowe SCT National last weekend was that there are bad roadworks on A17 around Sutton Bridge area, can someone local please keep us all posted as to whether it will cause delays in getting to the track at weekend?

Default Rain!

With the forecasted for heavy rain today and more rain tomorrow is it likely the track will be flooded?

Rich D mentions the track was flooded on Monday and we havn't had the best weather this week to completely dry things up.

Could somebody go and check the track is raceable on Friday evening and make a decision whether the meeting will be run on Saturday? It would be good to know Friday evening as there are quite a few people travelling a fair distance for this meeting.

Agree with the above post, admittedly we are only racing Sunday but it would be great if people updated on here what conditions are like. 80 miles is a long way to go to find out the meeting is cancelled
