BBC Weather for Nottingham has light snow for tues and heavy rain on weds
Rain won't be a problem but snow will. Anyone local that can say what the road or track conditions are like?
Looks like we need to keep an eye on the Javelin track day website or look out for emails from the organiser.

Checked their site earlier and no news yet. I have stuff to do to the MG on Tuesday and would rather spend the time on the 500 if the day isn't going to happen.

I've emailed Colin just to see what his current thoughts are, I'll keep you updated on here if I get a reply
Might need to pack the winter tyres if it does go ahead

Hey Pete, got an email reply from Colin@ Javelin - they're doing a track inspection at 10.30am tomorrow, and will update the website accordingly.
They hope to run the event if at all possible, so short of a blizzard it's still on for now
