Have you ran yet @Jumper118?

Nope they keep going up and down and up and down even though it looks pretty dry now :/

You having not had a single run yet makes me glad I chose not to go. Hopefully you get some runs done though!

Yeah I'm pretty board now and it's started snowing again.

I'm surprised they just haven't called it a day. Hopefully you'll get money back for adverse weather, and it won't have been a wasted trip.

Rybo89 · 17 Mar 2018 at 14:13

Still a wasted trip regardless...

They're running now and not many people apparently. So may get a few in.

Anything happened there yet? Glad I didn’t bother going tbh! It’s been snowing in MK pretty much all day

ReAPeR101 · 17 Mar 2018 at 16:38

Totally admire your commitment jumper.

Roll on the 21st. Hoping we get a break in adverse weather and all get to run. With new PBs set by all

@Jumper118 safe journey back? I'm assuming you got a voucher as it seems many others did.

Jumper118 · 17 Mar 2018 at 18:52

Got back 0 runs they pretty much conned us all into thinking we were going to run. The track was fully dry for a good 3 hours and about 10 pairs got to run and a couple of bikes then that was it :/ morons.

Rybo89 · 17 Mar 2018 at 18:56

Good day then

Akagi · 17 Mar 2018 at 18:58

You got your money back though I would hope?

That's really not on. I would have been fuming, even if they let everyone go down once with the track being dry like you said would have been ok and a good will gesture to top it off. Much respect for your determination though.

G8 m8 8/8 love watching tractors go up and down a drag strip all day.

Also because I had lots of time I have worked out the exact rpm and amount of throttle required to make it pop and bang with the wr1 map

Nope they refused to give anyone refunds. Left at about 4pm so I had been sat there since just before 9am :/

There was a guy in an sti wagon that was right at the front when they stopped running and he was bright red. Thought he was going to fight the Marshall guy lol. A guy in a cl65 got mad as well and did a massive burnout after turning round in the queue. Luckily he didn't crash or hit anything.

Akagi · 17 Mar 2018 at 19:27

How can they refuse to issue refunds???????

Bunch of tossers.

I wouldn't have left until I'd got a refund.

Vita · 17 Mar 2018 at 19:33

I'm sorry but they can't give some people vouchers and others not. What sort of bs is that.

Frozennova · 17 Mar 2018 at 19:36

Looks likes they were giving out vouchers.

Did you go back down to the signing on office? That's what I had to do when I got my voucher last year (And I'd had two runs too)

Email them and say you attended and no body told you about the voucher. They should email you one or post one out. If not then social media it.
