Well it's been raining constantly all day here and I'm about 2 mins away from the venue :(

Might have a look in on my way home.

an up here in Teesside :(

but it's looking BRIGHTER for the weekend :)

Drizzle this morning, then light rain for a bit... been dry with brightish skies for most of the afternoon though.

South Shields, its the place to be for weather.

complete contrast to Chester then, most of the roads are completely flooded around here, it's horrendous

Just been to me sisters house who lives opposite the york outdoor track. Its been p***ing down all day no floods on the grass tho and its only monday so should get better

Terrible here in Hull, a guy was sent down a drain to help clear it and got his foot stuck emergency services tried to free him but he as died, main route into hull is flooded, i'm watching the water level in my garden rise as i type :(

yeah same in hull it's been pissing it down all day but they did let us leave work early:) but it's gonna be bright sunshine in york on satuday and sunday:o :rolleyes:

paul

Dry start on both days but getting wet as the day goes on. Also more rain forecast for wednesday and thursday. Im not sure how quickly the york track will dry out on friday so racing could be damp regardless...... O well, things are looking up. The less of you that turn up, the higher i get placed in the end of round tomorrow! :cool:

why not start it earlyer to try and miss the rain

Well try to start on time and abandon finals if absolutly necesarry.

I'm more keen to avoid rain than usual as cars need to be kept clean as leaving for Belgium the start of the following week.

Which days are 2 and 4wd this time?

4wd sat
2wd sun

early start
 

The forecast isnt clear as to when the rain is forecast to start. It could start raining at 10am for all we know or even hold off till 3pm. But i'm completely with you on trying to make an early prompt start if possibly so we can hope for some form of dry-ish final.

I'm not a fan of this final dropping rubbish - the way I see it is you either race or you don't....

(controversial aren't I??)

Yes ;)

Hi all.. Just been to the venue this morning and its totally underwater!!!!!!!! Lets hope the rains holds of otherwise i would be very suprised if it drys in time..
