Pretty damn wet at the moment.

The giant paddling pool on the back lawn is about to go Tsunami on us again. Quite impressive when it happens.

On a more positive note, The fencing around the track is much better this year.

You can only get rain after a shower so if you dont get a shower you cant have rain .... BUT , if the showers dont come at all then you may not get any rain.

Simple aye :confused: <_< :blink:

I'll be there regardless of the weather. It rained in the morning last year, but turned out to be a great afternoon of racing action for the spectators.

I'll remember Craig Shirriffs effort in the 15 lapper for a long time to come... that was outstanding racing.
