I think it will depend when Bedford make the final decision. If they make it too early then we may be out of luck. As you say it looks more promising for friday / saturday though....im sure we will be ok though

I thin if they get the 4 or 5 inches of snow which is forecast then it will take more than one day at 3 degrees to get rid of that ....
I'm resigned to the fact that it just aint happening .......

I live about 15 miles North West of Bedford Autodrome and all weather forecasts for our area tend to be overly pessimistic.
When rain is forecast, we usually don't get any, when heavy snows are forecast we get a light splattering only.
The weather that we are experiencing in our area at the moment seems to be following a familiar annual pattern. We awoke yesterday morning to about an inch of snow with the forecasters predicting freezing and further heavy snowfall during the day (Wednesday). That never really happened. For tonight they are again forecasting much snow. This could well arrive by the morning. If it does, then that will be the second successive day of snowfall around here. This is usually followed by a fairly rapid thaw, possibly a little rain, and by Saturday, we shall be wondering what all the fuss had been about.
For all of our sakes, with Track Day in mind, I hope that my observations come good.
Think positive!

I'm not looking forward to scraping around in the snow tomorrow changing my wheels and then in the pouring rain or snow on Saturday and then changing them back on Sunday in the snow!!
Phil... will we get the use of the garages?? there were rumours about it last year but we didn't get them in the end... I don't fancy leaving wheels, sexhaust bits, food etc, lying around in the rain / snow :-(

I live v.v close to track and had no issues this morning, snow but nothing to deep, so Im sure you will be fine.
BTW if a place becomes available can someone email me. Thanks
On the garages front Im not sure if they have started it yet but they are knocking them down and building something new, so different pits to usual possibly.

If you look back up on this thread I think you will find that the garages are going to be open. Phil has already confirmed this.
So yes there will be room for your sarnies etc

Here at Wellingborough, things looking promising for Saturday at Bedford. We could even get blue sky and some sunshine.
