Must admit I agree with you.

It leaves me very surprised that the races were called off, as I have seen far worse conditions where races have been permitted to start and then stopped when it did get too bad for anyone to continue.

Health & Safety for all concerned, of course has to be taken into consideration and after all, the decision would not have been taken lightly (I hope).

Just an additional thought, How are those guys and girls who have only managed to come over for the day to see these two races going to feel ? Mmmm !!!!!!!!
