weather looks more and more promising by the day

Surely the palmy promotion team could pay the weather gods with the money they make from this event to ensure it’s fine.

The Weather Gods don't accept money. But they have been paid off, so we should be good to go, unless they wake up in a bad mood, then who knows what will happen

Rain before and after but the Saturday and Sunday look good right at the mo, and not too hot either.

Palmy is a booze fueled student city, so we couldn't find any this year, had to make other arrangements instead. But I'm not authorized to discuss what that entails

"How many girlfriends have you had, Skorp?"
"Dunno, mate ... every time I try to count them, I fall asleep!"

Jokes, just jokes ...

No sheep in Palmy mate, aside from the ones visiting this weekend that keep going on about smashing the P on Macgors. It's against the city by-laws to have farm animals. I think there are some out near Feilding though.

All the different weather sites show different results, majority show fine weather so they get my vote

If you look hard enough, you'll always find a site with the desired weather.
But the forecast seems to be getting better all the time.
Does anybody remember the last time teams champs was postponed to a different weekend or even cancelled?

It's been a while since we had to move to the next day for racing, but I don't think the event has ever had to be cancelled. There might have been a couple of times in the late 80s or early 90s when it got moved to a different weekend due to rain, but I'll leave it to the historians to dig through the history and find out

yes its hitting the SOUTH ISLAND thursday

[Skorp]

SO I said last week that today was when the forecast would give us a proper indication of what is going to happen on the weekend, and while it won't be terribly sunny, there is no rain forecast. And with temps in the low 20's we aren't going to boil while waiting for the action to start. let's go racing!

I think it was the year Waikato won the first of their back to back titles the entire weekend was washed out. Raced the next weekend, and the Waikato fans had spent all their cash celebrating the previous weekend, as they do, and were not there when history was made the following week.
