As has just been said, the meeting tomorrow will continue as planned. The weather forecast is hardly "end-of-the-world" conditions, it's estimated to be rainy during the day. I know the Kidderminster club will have surveyed the track and it's current conditions, so I back them in their decision.
We've all raced in rain before, it just seems that over the last few years the tendency has been to shy away from it. Now before anyone starts the "well you don't pay for your stuff", well yes I do and probably the same sort of prices you can all get if you shop around. If I were to blow a speedo in the rain, then I'd be buying a new one just the same as anyone else.
I know most of us had a miserable day at the National earlier in the month. But if it had been sunny at that meeting, would nearly as many of you be suggesting postponing/cancelling this regional.
The decision at the National wont force us to start setting a precedent for any other rain affected meetings. Until we actually get the day of a race meeting, it is unlikely anyone of us can predict the true weather conditions.
Before asking for a postponement, please consider all those racers that have commitments on the day(s) that you are suggesting to re-run the meeting. Most of us plan months in advance to ensure we have the time off work etc.... so trying to plan at such short notice is unlikely to please many.
