Rain the only winner at Gillman Speedway tonight - November 2016

November 13, 2016 by Gillman Media

There was disappointment all around when tonight’s Gillman Speedway meeting was rained off.

Everything was set for an entertaining night’s racing when rain started about 15 minutes before the first race was scheduled to start.

The radar suggested the showers would soon blow over and the plan was to then quickly fix the track and start racing about 8pm, but a second heavier shower then caused the meeting to be cancelled.

Speedway manager Dave Parker said: “We were closely watching the radar and as I was grading the dirt back I could see the rain approaching on the phone radar. We quickly sealed the track by rolling it with the truck and grader, but the weather gods won. I have to thank all those crazy people for hanging in there on the hill, we did our best, but the rain continued and won this round”.

Anyone who attended tonight’s meeting can use their admission receipt for free admission to the next meeting on 26 November.
