Well I can't do a Monday so they better not run quilfing that night.

A bit early to worry about weather I would think, pretty much if it doesn't happen on those 2 days, I will just have to hang out in Palmy till Monday am. With the cost of Accomadation and tickets and cost to get down there from Pukekohe, Im in for around $1000.00 plus food etc. for 2 of us. But I know the weather is always a risk with Speedway, and it is one Im prepared to take just to be there.
And Im sure the other 17998 people planning to go have a lot of $s invested as well. But it is what it is

I don't start paying attention to the weather forecast until 3 days before racing. It tends to change too much before then

[HIGHWAY45]

Not sure why they didn't run it friday and saturday still. Then they had sunday up their sleeve etc

I get that Many will have monday off but lots won't also.

[hercules]

Likewise with the live stream, if it goes to Monday ever due to weather a lot will be at work, specially those overseas as no holiday over here.

That was due to Auckland Traffic on Fridays. Which is understandable, Friday traffic in Auckland can be bad enough, but if there is an accident or two, it is downright diabolical

But if you ran it Friday/Saturday then everyone would have to take the Friday off. And the same with the live stream - people are at work on Friday.

[HIGHWAY45]

Has it stopped them filling the place on a Friday in the past? No. Not whinging, just saying. If ran friday and saturday with no weather dramas then a lot of people still get the Monday and Tuesday off if theyve sorted Monday off. . Monday maybe to travel home etc. A long way out but if weather doesnt play ball there'll be a few who unable to stick around on the Monday i am sure because of work, travel arrangements etc. But hey the pre sold ticket money is in the bank so promoters win either way.

[h8flagracers]

if its run Friday Saturday you definitely need a day off work, if its run Saturday, Sunday then there's a 50% chance you may need a day off work, so I guess the promotor has his reasons but to me Saturday Sunday seems better because not only do I get 4 days off in a row but there's only a 50% chance of having to be at the track Monday, either way though people will moan so it is what it is. for most people (or maybe just me) I looked forward to this meeting from the day after the finals night has run the year before so I organize things 6 months out, (flights, days off accommodation etc..) id rather be at palmy teams then any other meeting that runs.

[mordecai]

Just need the weather to clear

[Roxcyford]
