if the ftf are so worryed about running a ride day in the wet, dose this mean if the race is forecast to be wet that it will also be canceled? if anything i think it would be better if the ride days were run in the wet so then you are putting transport and all that to a "worst case senario" test for the race.

If FTF were to run a ride day on that track in the wet there wouldn't be a track to race on, just a series of hideous foot deep ruts.

Yes fair point well then you do the same with the track, use it as a test session. find out where the ruts form, where drainage needs to go etc. just use it as a full test.

Very good point.

But remember how much effort goes into a track Geoff. You should know, you dont want couple of hundred people coming down the track, ruining all your hours of hard work you have just done.
But saying that, I do see where you are coming from with the testing and stuff.
Either way, there will be huge negatives and positives for this day, and in the end its their call.
But i am as disappointed as everyone else tho.
