Vmcc water series?

**jellywrestler** · 18th September 2010, 11:49

I was heading up to manfeild later today for the Vic club meeting and checked live timing there's a note Meeting Cancelled due to water on the circuit, although it says
august 18/19th.
18/19th august is midweek dates so I assume it's refering to this weekend.
Is the meeting still on? If not today are they going to look at it again tomorrow?
Anyone help please

Yup, was on hold till 12 today due to water over track (and not just a little bit) then it rained a lot more. Then there was lightening and it rained harder so both days cancelled to save people hanging around over night. That and some of the roads are getting marginal for people to get home.

Yep Mother Nature at her best and this weekends Cancellation of the Round 5 meeting was completely out of the Vic Clubs control as we all know we cant argue with her upstairs.
Keep your fingers crossed that Round 6 will be nice and sunny and that we can all get out there and enjoy this Fantastic Sport that we all are so passionate about.
See you all then ok?.

W left the circiut about 11am headed for Wanganui. We nearly got cleaned up by a slip just west of Turakina & had to turn around under it while it was coming down. Believe me, it was a serious pack undies situation. I hear tonight that it came down big time shortly after.

So: Do we (Vic Club and competitors) get a refund from Manfeild? Seems that the track flooding is an infrastructure problem due to inadequate drainage and/or poor design and maintenance of the same, as it occurs often when there is more than a little rain. And the transponder hireage charges, completely unused tomorrow (Sunday) how about a refund for those as well?

Regarding entry fees etc, you will need to talk with the club direct about that, but are very confident all will be good there.

As far as the VIC club getting there money back from the track itself 100% Yes, I hired it last year for a training day that was rained off, I asked and recieved all money back.

Yea left wellington at 6.30 to pick up a milling machine in hunterville and thought I would call in on the way home but had to divert through marton as there was flooding so did a runner for home instead and in wellington it was fine go figure.
