ccc2 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 since the original thread has been lost - here we go again. Sunday Hill Climb 26 Maythis event has been called off due to the prediction of heavy rain in the Cape Point area.
Thomo Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I suppose the rain has to come at some point ... the WPCA League has been fortunate up to now and has been having some fantastic riding conditions.

ccc2 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 i hear you & it breaks my heart not to have the ride BUT to get the ambulance & officials out to the event will incur costs which ± 70 participants will cover. i have checked 4 weather sites and they all predict rain from Saturday night thru to Tuesday.i can't see more than a handfull of mountain goats pitching up in the rain (if it does) to climb Red Hill.i also thought of the poor souls who would have to marshal in wet conditions without any cover.so ja, it happens
Thomo Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 It's been bucketing down.!I don't think anybody will disagree with the decision that was taken.

Ward Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Hope the weather gods smile on this event. Doesnt look like it will be
WaldoZ Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Is there a bit more info on this somewhere? I'm keen to participate but can't find any info on distances, route etcBit of a noob when it comes to racing and want to get involved a bit more and this is right on my doorstep... the weather does look like it will spoil it though.
ccc2 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 if the weather was like today, we would be able to handle it as the various events are short ie 20 min plus a lap. when it rained today it was normally over in 5 to 10 min and the road dried quckly. also the circuit would be secured with no traffic. the road surface is not dangerous when wet as there are no white lines all over the show. BUT with gales etc and rain predicted for three days from Saturday we would be taking a chance. the weather office has also issued a weather warning. will consult with the host club.

DIKenONFIKS Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Why did it change? On original calendar this Sunday there was a race in Paarl and was looking forward to it. Where is Gunners? If I'm not mistaken, thinks its also replaced with the Fisantekraal race...

If I'm not mistaken, thinks its also replaced with the Fisantekraal race...there are times when people have good intentions to host events. u need to apply for event permits and road permission 6 weeks prior to the event if i don't get the committment i do it myself hence the changes to the calendar. Gunners Grand Prix is at Gunners Circle Epping
