It Never Rains But It.......

We've been critical of the weather forecasts that we have received throughout this season but we might think they got it right on Friday. Maybe not?

Most forecasts suggested that the rain would have cleared away by seven but that certainly wasn't the case. If you look at our two photographs, the first, on the left, was taken at twenty to six and you will see that it was just about possible to get up the ramp to the track without drowning. The second picture, on the right, was taken at what should have been start time. We now have a lake with little possibility of getting to the track. Looks like we made the right decision.

The call off gave Erik Riss more time to prepare for the European Under 21 Championship in France today and for Sam Masters, our representative at Sheffield tomorrow for the Premier League Riders Championship.
