Title: First Night of Indoor Racing! Please give your feedback here!
Post by: Blake on September 18, 2010, 10:39:40 PM
Hi all,


Originally, the first night of indoor racing was slated for October 16th.  The Big Chill in Chilliwack has forced us to move our first date to October 23rd because we hope to get a large group travelling over for the Chill.

So... instead of waiting until October 23rd, we are considering running the first night of indoor racing on October 2nd.

I would like feedback from everyone on whether or not they can be ready for indoor racing for October 2nd.  We will race that night if we get enough confirmed racers to cover the cost of rent.  We will run extended open practice, followed by two qualifiers, and then the mains.

Please note that we will NOT be racing on October 9th as B&G is closed for the entire Thanksgiving long weekend.

So, who is in for October 2nd? 


Blake

Well, if we can round up enough guys to come for the first night maybe there will be enough spare batteries around for those who currently don't have any. Maybe.

Hey Blake

With all these guys ready to race it should be no problem getting them to help move the carpet and track back to the B&G club
when will you set up a date to do this?

Seeing as daryl and craig have the track I would say they would let people know

We usually do it the day of the first night(sounds eery), but as I previously posted I am leaving town that day so will be unable to help. You are welcome to come and get the stuff, I will likely be gone before noon.

Good day!

Last year we used the van and put something in a pick up truck as well. I am in to help if I am not working.

Hard to get everything in the van unless some stuff, that shouldn't the club's responsibility, is taken out first(eg. peoples tents, tables & chairs).

The boards used to go to Darryl's place along with at least one roll of carpet. But I did not help
them store it last time.

Darryl whats all at your place?

One roll of carpet at Craig's, the rest is at my place.

Hi all,

It sounds like we have enough interest to run the first night of indoor racing next Saturday, Oct 2nd.  Daryl will not be around so we will use the cube van to load carpet/clik-trak/boards from Langford to B&G.

The first night will have extended open practice, followed by two rounds of qualifying, and then the mains.

We will not be racing on Oct 9th nor Oct 16th because of Thanksgiving and the Big Chill respectively.  Our second indoor race will be Oct 23rd.

Perhaps before we move to indoors, whoever has the computer can post the last outdoor race results?! It's only been about 3 weeks or so...

Hi all,

Just a reminder that track setup for indoor racing is at 4PM.  We will need lots of help pulling everything out of the truck and up into the gym.

See ya then,
Blake
