How did the campers fair last night? One things for sure, they'd have got very cold and wet and probably had no tent left, had they been camping here :-( |

We got there and the meeting was going ahead, then after about 30 minutes there was a meeting, and 15 minutes after that most people were in McDonalds.
The whole it hasn't been raining here was absolute bollocks as the surrounding fields along the M50 were flooded, the access road to the track had a steady flow of water running down it, and the far end of the grass track and the field next to it were totally flooded and under water, and the river under the rostrum was overflowing by the grass track Rant over

Well the English breakfast at the M5 services was nice but very expensive
It was the right decision to cancel given the circumstances. Did anyone see the Porsche on the M5? that guy REALLY had a bad day... N |

It didn't rain at all by me yesterday and I am only 20 miles from the track, it also isn't raining now, there's nothing that can be done about the weather, it was just bad luck.

Well I endured the rostrum for a few laps with the car so I think I TQ'd!! The car came off with all the electrics dry despite going through all the big puddles. Don't think I could of endured 8 hours of that weather though. Look forward to doing it all again in May at the 4wd. Let's hope the weather holds better for then. Also a question about the reserve date. The weekend of June 24th is free could we not move this meeting to then? It still gives plenty of notice to people and doesn't creep into the August holiday period. It also leaves the August day free if one of the later meetings needs to be cancelled. It's 17degC and sunny tomorrow..... think I may pop to kiddie!! |

Some of the comments i read are unbelievable. The track was dry yesterday aswell as the field and the drive.
It has stopped raining here now aswell. It didnt start raining heavy until early this morning.

Hi All,
A frustrating result to the day all in all, many apologies for those who travelled a distance to then have to go back home again. I hope you understand that it was just not viable to call the day off before this morning and that we had to make the trip and see for ourselves to make the decision. Seeing so many of you turn out was excellent to see and I feel dejected that we couldn't put the race on for you - with such standing water in the main straight, an area of the track which could not be avoided, we had to take the call that the risk to individuals safety and their equipment meant that we should look to the reserve date instead. In regard to the reserve date, this is August 12th and unfortunately we cannot have any flexibility on this, we have to publish a full calendar early in the year so that individuals can plan their year accordingly - there are many individuals who rely on the regional series for F grade and EOS final qualification, if you spring a new date into the calendar now with no warning and they cannot attend, it can prove costly and is unfair (because of this, up until around 2 years ago we did not have a reserve date and a lost meeting meant a reduction in series length). We now publish the reserve date early on so people know to try and keep that date free, as it will then be used in circumstances such as this. As was mentioned over the PA today, YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-ENTER FOR THE LEDBURY RESCHUDULED RACE, ENTRIES WILL NOT BE CARRIED OVER! We will look at the form over the next week or so and I will come back to you to confirm how you can go about re-entering. See you all back at (a hopefully drier!) Ledbury, on May 20th for 4wd round 2.

So how many people turned up then? I made it to the start of the farm track, but I met a convoy of people leaving as the meeting had just been cancelled.
It hadn't rained here in Ludlow yesterday, it started sometime in the night. After leaving Ledbury earlier we went to Hereford shopping and have now got back to Ludlow where it's still raining and it's rained on us all day non stop wherever we've been so far!

I'm glad I didn't camp there last night if the field was dry yesterday. It must of been torrential rain this morning before we got there to put the field next to the track under a few feet of water!

I was reluctantly ready to race, but I'm glad its been moved to the reserve date as the track is a good track.
Maybe we should get some boats

I was the dude with the white cougar. Track was a good layout i thought and the car came off almost dry inside. Puddles on the straighr were easily avoided as the were all on the outside.
