curious Posted Wednesday at 09:07 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:07 AM Soft 5 with a 24% moisture reading? Drainage might get a good test if they get the forecast 50mms in the next couple of days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a S5 or a S6. Doesn't seem to be anything else. They'll still need to slice and dice it which if they haven't already done will be interesting today. It is a Synthetic hydroponic track that grows grass. At least they haven't needed to irrigate this week and the pond will be filling up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted Wednesday at 08:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:50 PM We've had more wind the rain at the moment, but I'm sure we'll get a strong downpour at some point in the next two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast is for 40mm today is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westbrew Posted Wednesday at 10:02 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:02 PM When they put in the Synthetic hydroponic track, the idea was to be able to race in the wetter months in Auckland, while i have question marks around this track, its ability to handle large amounts of rain in days preceding race day is not in doubt in my mind,100mm plus a couple of days before race day would not be an issue, the problem is more around rain on race day when it has been fine leading up to race day, and they have alleviated this by the use of machinery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More just scattered showers, but I'm sure the downpours will come at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
