W.D. Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Why are they held over and the snfc are up? Found that a bit worrying as there is not much between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmurray Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I thought it was strange that they made the call so early in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fifer Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Seems strange that no reason is given for holdover i.e. adverse weather at liberation site etc. Having problems accessing SNRPC Website, last thing I heard was simply HELDOVER............strange!!!!!?????!!!

I used the word "sound" which is different. I am hoping for a good race for both organisations but I think that each will produce a different type of race.

It's not a great place to stay overnight,no water or toilets onsite,no chuck wagons nearby either?!On the plus side there is some good fishing from the quay!atb.

The best of luck to all racing this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank-123 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 every year from these races any timer on the shift was a cracker ...tonight multiple timers from lofts and plenty timed on the shift...to me they bombed in no disrepect to who hadnt timed..maybe tomorrow will be different atbMickGot to agree Mick most likely every ticket in Section E has gone on the shift. 510/520 miles cracking race. Worry about the winners then worry about returns. Hopefully they get a week break in the weather tomorrow morning think a few doos won't be too far from home tonight.
