i can stop the rain easy, but to do it I need $50 from each racer guaranteed to work..
if it does rain then you don't pay.

Not racing (cars not finished) but super keen to come along and support.

So what time are gates open and when are things all kicking off? I couldn't see it on vwma website.

Stanley I guess the reward is in the doing of it

Penrith & eastern creek are far enough apart to not share the same weather.....I work in Penrith & live closer to the creek, sometimes it rains in one area whilst its fine at the other......I' ll be waiting till Saturday morning to see what happens
Step up to get out !!!

Much along the lines of what Stanley has said, was desperate to get up to this event, and have been watching Bens weather link all week, bit I'm dissapointed to say I will not now be going,
Given the weather plenty of chance, with all its toing & froing its always gone back to being a wet weekend forecast.
For the sake of everyone going, the gringos from Vic & all interstate travellers hope the weekend turns out great & be safe.

cheers

Eastern creek weather is the same. I've made my decision based on finances. I hope for all the other races i've made the wrong choice. Best of luck to all. On a brighter note it makes me available for Sydney Jambo. Engine change here we go.

Is it On or is it Off??? I must say its a pretty piss poor effort on behalf of the organisers of this event considering the distance people have to travel to support this event.
Make a call and let everyone know - not just keep everyone guessing.

Read above your posts,
states that Craig has made the call that it's ON,

I believe entrants would have received an email if it was off, nothing in my inbox , so I think it's still on,
Weather at my place, 5 mins from the creek looks to be clearing right now.
Step up to get out !!!

What about spectators? I haven't seen or heard anything official! Apparently it's on isn't quite good enough to travel a 2000 + km round trip.

Send Craig an email

Still, nobody can predict the weather accurately , tomorrow might be a great day, could be ordinary too.

You will owe me $50 if the rain stops, then, 'cause I have cancelled the rain.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Okay so I just did the 25 km trip home from work on the highway and it's torn to shreds

When the mobile billboards are flashing " STAY AWAY, highway closed numerous places" it's pretty worrying. On that short stretch there are 6 trees that fell completely across the road and dozens blocking the whole lane on either side, countless limbs big enough to stop you on the spot and a couple complete with cars buried under them.

Glad no one is traveling now or facing the haul tomorrow evening or Sunday, new England will be the only option for returning north for those that went early

Hopefully another date is set and if not, I'm happy to donate my entry fee to Craig and WSID if it means the event can be booked again and return next year.... For sure the price of traveling thru this weather could be very costly indeed.

Ps I kinda hope it does piss down at the creek tomorrow now it's been canned on that basis
