i think im speaking for most of the groms attending but i think that we have school at the end of next weekend when the race might be postpone to.which alot of the groms parents wont be happy with them racing throughout there school day. although saying this i rekon i will still be able to come whether or not it is on a school day.

I would like to raise the option of having the race on a weekday, as it would be much easier to handle traffic wise. Even though I don't think there would be much traffic, the chances are residents will be out at work and not there to shut us down. Remember this spot is not out in the middle of no where.

So if there is anyone who can not do a weekday race out of those who have already paid, speak up. Otherwise let's all collectively work out a time that suits everyone and will be on a day that will have dry conditions. We already have the names of riders so let's all work together so make sure we get the most out of the day

Jacko and Ben know what they're talking about, and they're both hardcore mofos, i'm going with their call, it doesn't sound safe to race it wet.

I know gave just waiting to see what the low pressure system is doing then calling it tomorow depending on the weather. If we are postponing it will be to the 16th that is Sunday the weekend after.

i agree, postpone it. im there for traction not a slippery wrestle, someone will definitely get hurt in the wet without the safety barriers etc that jacko mentioned.

WET OUTLAW  =  GROMS DYING

Postpone that shit.

Given the current forecast for this whole week, regardless of rain Saturday, I think it's safe to say it would be somewhat wet. Like I said I think it's a good idea to postpone to the following weekend, or even on a weekday (of course depending of the participants work commitments)

yeh i agree,we checked the hill the other day,.its fairly narrow with lots of hazards to crash into of the edges of the road,few parked cars etc,considering the speed you will be travelling,in the wet it would be carnage,the surface isnt rough but its wonky with little bumps and cambers sloping off in all kinds of directions,wich would make it hard to maintain traction.

in the wet there would be at least 2 big slides involved and the slightest error would see competitors sliding straight off the track and into whatever.

not so much the sliding being the problem,the biggest slams would be from people trying to grip the top little cnrs and straights and hitting lumps and losing grip..its shady and its got that mossy thing goin on were as soon as its wet its icy.

if the surface was flat,smooth and predictable it would be a slightly different story,but this hill has features,lots of them.

there was wet patches there the other day,it was unridable.

if it was totally soaked you could session the corner but yeh for a wet race here you need lots of hay,etc.

lets hope its sunny and dry anyway.
