I've come down with a cold Sunday night and I'm not feeling too good so I might be missing this one Sad

Guys any update on how Awaba is fairing after all this rain ? I am in sunny Adelaide this week but will be back for the club race this weekend.

my wife tells me it is raining more than last week.

please don't tell me it's going to be washouts 2 weeks in a row ?

I have a bad feeling about it again this week. It certainly wont have had much time to dry out from last weekend.
The saving grace is that Sat and Sun are meant to be lovely.

Fingers crossed.

Keeping my fingers optimistically crossed But it ain't looking good for the next 24 hours

We've had heaps more rain this week than last, i highly doubt it will be on.

I'll second that. Sunday & Monday wasn't too bad, but consistent rain since. It will have to clear up very soon for that road to dry out.

Being only one weekend left before round two would it just get canceled if its too wet?

I'll ask the question on the likely hood of it going ahead, but my gut says it won't be on.

Its really wet, as Jase said, more so than last week, and tonight is supposed to get ugly.

Reckon it'll be a late call tomorrow afternoon after the rain has stopped and sun (if it still exists!) has had chance to dry it up a little.

Reckon we should round up our better halves (politically correct term!) hair dryers and dry it out ourselves Eye-wink

someone is certain to drop the hair dryer in a puddle. Eye-wink

Guys any update on race tomorrrow - given the rain this week I've resigned myself to the fact that it will be cancelled.

I just noticed that on your website it indicated that the singleton track maybe an option ?

Any update would be good.
