QUOTE(lelle_g @ Jul 6 2008, 08:54 AM) [snapback]1282570315[/snapback] why cancelled from rain? i was nearly there and it was clear and clearing up, roads were just about dry, or was it willowbanks choice? QUOTE(21-BJF @ Jul 6 2008, 07:48 AM) [snapback]1282570167[/snapback] its not the sun, its the large amount of water still on the track. and as with all of ang's event, saftey is the first concern. no day is worth running if there is a chance that someone could get injured or even worse due to track conditions. --- Having repeated that, Moi you only specified if it was sunny I got that shirt. It's sunny bitch!  That's the way the cookie crumbles I guess. Hopefully I'll be able to get another day off.. ROCK ON R~R |

Well I'm home QUOTE(21-BJF @ Jul 6 2008, 07:48 AM) [snapback]1282570167[/snapback] its not the sun, its the large amount of water still on the track He's right ^^ the track was the main issue, it was saturated. The guys were happy to start drying it and they expected to finish about 10:00-10:30am (so you were already losing racing time) but if there were any more down pours you'd lose another hour in drying time. I stood at the gate till 8:15am (in case anyone rocked up) and it started sprinkling, then it did again on the Cunningham Hwy on the way home and then again at the toll booth on the Logan Motorway. It was the right decision I know ... just so disappointing after all the work gone in to it  Like the true girl I am I'm crying I was going semi ok till I read everyone's posts. Thanks for not e-bashing me <3 ... I was more stressing about that on the way home.Damo3442 I passed you on the way out, sorry I couldn't tell you sooner You too Mat If it was only my $95 I was gambling I would've gone for it ... but it wasn't As for the reschedule date, I'll ring Willowbank this week and organise. Please don't expect me to have the answer tomorrow or chase me. The way I feel right now I'd probably say something I don't mean. I'm going in to emo mode now

It was also indicated that showers were forecast and that it would be impractical to dry the track more than once, meaning a heavy shower means your already shortened by 25% day was over, with no prospects of a refund. It was therefore decided in the best interests of all and sundry to reschedule the day to a day where you get your whole 6 hours (or 7 depending on the mood of the ambo's ), no cars are pulling mud or water on to the track (it gets "stuck" in the grooved tyres) and no one has wet steer tyres (burnouts happen with RWD at the back not the front). I know this is a decision that may have disappointed a number of people, but you would have been a whole lot more disappointed to line up, have no runs, watch it rain and get nothing back. This way, we get to have another go. Angela has done an awesome job organising this day, I just feel sorry for her having been put in this position by the weather. |

I've been on the other side of this listening and trying to calm Ang down many times through the organising of this event. She's shattered to say the least. |

There's not many people out there stepping up and giving enthusiasts a legal place to race. Willowbank has a great calendar with heaps of dates, even for "street cars" |

It could have been worse, you could have driven to Sydney to have it called off which has happened to us many times, or ang could have not had the balls to call the event off and you all turn up and then its called off, or lots of time is lost through drying the track and you all whinge. |
