Hey guys and Gals,
The committee met earlier this week, one of the items on the Agenda was track maintenance. A number of suggestions for improvement were put forward based on members requests and suggestions along with committee opinion.
These include the following, in no particular order;
1: Repairs to the Kerb onto the straight from the banked corner, plus general kerb maintenance some of them have cracked and could do with re-painting.
2: Addition of a new fence between the Green cabin and the Caravan to allow a more spectators an opportunity to get closer to the action, this would also allow a suitable area for scrutineers at larger events.
3: Replacing the floor of the rostrum
4: Replacing the Steps, plus a possible re-location across the back of the green cabin.
5: Move the caravan aprox' two feet back away from the track to allow a better view of the pit area, this move also opens up possibilities of the pit lane being used as part of the track
6: Lay tarmac at the top of the thermometer to even out levels left to right (off racing line) This will allow a variation on track layout (intended to be run only on wet race days, as it avoids the dreaded "puddle")
7: Replace bolts at the bottom of the cabin door to increase security..
8: Re-pack the cabin to allow better / safer access
We are looking for volunteers to complete these tasks; over perhaps one or two Saturday sessions, as an incentive to all of you who come out and show your support for your club, free race meetings will be offered to those who attend.
However for the work to go ahead, we need an accurate idea of the costs involved in each job,
Regardless of weather conditions, perhaps we can take a look this Sunday!?? work party dates are to follow, dependant on when the majority of people are available.
Show your support by posting in this thread!
