As grand parade is usually apart of the meeting and they have had a drivers briefing! So is tommorow a continuation of tonight’s meeting or is it a complete restart. As I know 1 bay car had to go home as couldn’t race today, but they can race tommorow and weds 🤔 |

Barry B Interesting they went back to the free meeting method, as they got a bit of flack for that a few years back for not being fair to those who paid. I guess for a meeting of this scale it could be the sheer logistics of trying to hand out rain passes to that many people. (Nothing but aroha to the Rotorua team regardless, such a hard situation they have been faced with this week) |

People like me who have paid over $150 bucks per night to get family in the gate, they can't let others in for free and expect not to refund us. Bring on a war if that's what they are planning cause that's against the law and straight out not fair. I normally have plenty of time for rotorua speedway but not if that's how its gunna pan out. And also if it's a free for all people with reserved seating technically give up those seats so its first up best dressed. Absolutely crazy thinking

Can't wait to hear your karma explanation. any one involved with the rain effected nz champs at 2ks many moons ago will know what I mean. Not knocking any body I know how hard they all work and put on some of the best shows in speedway year in and out. Best looking and run speedway in nz is paradise valley I hope weather plays the game and all see a awesome meeting |

People will still have their printed bit of paper or online conformation of their seat numbers. |

What if those people that had reserved seats want to just sit anywhere and get in for free.... wheres there refund or pass to another meeting that they paid extra for ? |

Could make for some awkward conversations. |

Tickets can't be rescanned to once the people are in once, so they have to do a freebie tomorrow for those that legitimately had tickets today, and yes, obviously, some may take advantage and come in tomorrow without paying. That's a cost the club has to wear. They'll still have to pay if they want to see the finals as well. |

Would have been nice to have some sort of communication about what was happening, even though you could tell it was over.
Sitting their for ages in the heavy rain and there was no word at all, apart from the raffel results.... maybe they all headed for the bar early and forgot about everyone sitting out there.
Hope its sunny tomorrow and we can get this over with !!
