i'll bring my tools if the weather is nice~ as of today the track is still soaked thnx to the melting piles of snow near it...

Thanks Hesh for helping on Saturday it looks like we are the only two that want to get the work done before we start racing!! O-Well I don't mind putting off racing a little longer.

Gary

i can come up sunday if you got time...

Everyone that showed up for the track work night did a great job so good it looks like we can get racing next Thursday night. We still have a few things to get done but the majority of work is done.


Thanks for keeping the race park looking good.

Gary

Thursday was the kick off for our summer racing. Its now official that the flag is up. Here's a few pics. Enjoy

Bullet or Gary, anyone going to be at the track tonight? Would it be ok to rework the jump on the backstretch? and how do we want to do it. It needs a little less canyon in between jumps so the slashes can clear the jump. Tabletop? Whatever, direction please...................

With the sponsors race just around the corner June 30 to be exact I would like to get the rest of the track work done. We still have to roll up the tarps in the field, cover the dirt pile, burn the old rotted track boards, finish staining the stairs and railings on the drivers stand. Thats about it except for cutting the grass or mowing the rocks up there.

Dan needs to fix the sponsors signs the have been damaged.

Then of coarse there is always track grooming that can be done, Tubes that were replaced need to be stored and finish putting down the new ones.

Just a reminder this is the last year of our lease and the Fair Gounds Sale will be finalized in October so we should put our best foot forword to make a good impression. The people we have to sign a lease with don't care about the track racing surface condition but they do care about how the race park grounds look.

As long a Mike has not been posting when he is going to do track work I will do a better job watching this post to let anyone that wants to help know when I will be up there. I have been up at the track just about two or three times a week whenever my schedule alows me to be there. I am not bragging but to give an example I was up on Saturday to fix the lawnmower and cut some grass, Up on Sunday to do grass trimming and empty the garbage, up on Tuesday night (track work night) fix the broken night light sign windows with the help of Joe K. more lawn mowing and move some old track boarders around, up on Wednesday night for the Fair Board Meeting, up on Thursday to play in the mud with the other racers that are not afraid of getting there off road equipment dirty.

Weather permitting it will be another Tuesday track work day and I will be up at the track sometime this weekend when I can work it out between grad parties and work at home along with the weather.

Gary

PS Everyone did a great job on Thursday working together to get the track work done along with getting the race in.

PICK ROCKS!!! PULL WEEDS!!! DON'T FORGET THE SUNFLOWER SEEDS!!!

I'll be up at the track after work about 5'ish through out the week to do stuff. If the weather dont suck so bad.

The weather realy sucks for sure but looks good for the weekend so I am going to try and be up on Thursday after work if the weather is good. Here are work at the dock on the bay we have clocked north east 75 MPH at our highest point, nice first day of summer.

Gary

Mike must have missed you on Monday night it got nice for a while so I stopped up around 7:00 to do a little grass cutting. Gained anothe 300 gallons of water in the tank.

The flippin wind finally stopped I'm heading to the track after work to take care of those tarps, around 4,5'ish
