Post by: Blake on April 28, 2025, 06:44:29 PM
Hi all,

* This work party is confirmed *

As we discussed at the last indoor race, we are planning a work party for this Sunday May 4th 10:00AM at the new asphalt track at UVic.

Tasks
1. Sweep, blow, wash the parking lot
2. New track layout
3. Determine what walls/barriers will be used
4. PA system test
5. Organize cube van storage to include the scaffolding

Please come out to help if you can.

Thanks,
Blake

Is there water available to pressure wash with?

Unfortunately no.

But the Fantetti's may have a water truck take a pass over the lot.

Thank You Work Party Crew!

Thank you to everyone that came out on Sunday to help with the new track.  We accomplished quite a bit with the track itself and also getting the van reorganized.  With all the new boards and the driver's stand in the van, we're more able to setup a track anywhere now.

Huge thank you to Team Fantetti for bringing the water truck, Team Ashmore for bring the wood shop, and Team Lester/Ball for bringing all the scaffolding.

We're still trying to figure out how we'll spray this track.  Although it's only three parking stalls longer, it's quite a few more square feet to cover.

First race is Sunday May 25th.
