Hi all,
Reminder that we're cleaning up the track tomorrow, Sunday May 6th. We're going to meet there at 10AM. Bring a push broom, blower, and anything else that could be useful. There could be some limited practice afterward if you want to bring a car.
See you there,
Blake

Hi all,
Who is planning on racing this Sunday July 22nd? I'm asking because I will be out of town and I know that the Youngers are also out of town. Please post in here if you are planning to race so we can determine if there is enough interest.
Thanks,
Blake

Just got back in town. Was going to charge up my batteries tonight to see if they still hold a charge. Was planning on coming out this weekend. If not then that's fine it will give me some time to sort my gear out.

Rob fantetti will be there if we have enough

not much interest

not much interest
Hey Rob. No matter what I am going to show up. Even if we are not racing, i need to shake my car down. Might just be a couple of battery packs and a coffee.

Hey Guys, are we racing this week?
Lets get a show of hands for those that CAN make it out.
Craig, who has to pick up and drive the Cube van, would rather not go though the hassle if we end up not having enough people to race.
Same with the other die-hards that show up and wait around.
We'd all like to race, no question, but also dont want to waste a morning sitting around wondering.
We are suffering from parked cars on the race surface more regularly now also, so if we get serious we should try and address that as well.
Cheers
Jody

It ended up being a good race day yesterday with 13 people racing. Reminder we're off this long weekend as some of us are travelling to Richmond for the RRR race. We'll take a roll call for the Aug 12th club race as we get closer.

So, is it a go, or a No Go?
I need to know in the next 30 minutes, or i am going to start painting my house (Probably should be finishing the painting off anyways..)
