This is great news. We will have the carpark of the Union Hall and Training School for IBEW Appretices. The Track will be stored in the trailer that can stay for the season. The metal edge to the track can be stored under trailer in large sections. We will have to do some set up, but not the massive effort of old. We will have PVC pipe instead of the wooden structure for track delineation.
Fellow Racers:
Thanks to all who showed for our first event of the season. With close to 20 committed
racers attending, I know we are on track (no pun intended) for a great time this summer.
Track set-up started at 7:30am and early on a decision was made to run an extra long
practice with an abbreviated 2-qual program. Track preparation completed by about 9:30,
with practice running until noon. The mains were shortened by some passing showers,
which moved up tear down as well. The trailer was packed and everyone heading for the
barn by 4:00PM.
The Trans-am class was awesome! What a great way to get started in gas, growing our
group in the process. We really needed an entry-level nitro class and this looks perfect.
The rules will continue to be refined, but as a no competition class changes remain geared
(sorry about that one) for improvement. Congrats to Richard Donavon on his successful
run.
Next race is scheduled for June 14th at the same site. Additionally, the schedule is now posted.
Check out these pictures from our April 26th Workparty as well as our first event of '08. I'm really looking forward to next time.
