track work 10th and 11th march help needed
 

the track will be CLOSED for racing this sunday
we are going to be busy this weekend with the track and are after some members to help .

the plan is we are have a digger in to start on the car park the earth he removes is going to build up the height of the bank on the left hand side of the track
the old race control has to be moved
the new one needs painting
we have hired a roller to roll the track astro needs pulling up where the track is low to get rid of some of the large trenches so we can fill them in.
we are doing a new lay out as well new features to be built as well.
and lots of other jobs to do as well

any one that helps can have free practice on sunday as soon as we have finshed the work so if you can spare some time this weekend please let us know the more hands we have down there then more time to practice on sunday :thumbsup:

I'll try and pop down on saturday guys:thumbsup:

will see, tbh I should really be doing uni work all weekend anyway. As its only 1/2 day normally I can get away with it.

Didn't realise being on Oople was part of your Uni sylabus Jamie!!!!!!!

Lol:woot:

What times will work be starting/finishing each day? I'm sure most people who don't live too far away can spare a couple of hours to help out, I know I can, it's just a matter of scheduling it in with other commitments....

Chris

Shut it you! :lol:

Oh a sore point Jamie

Friday 10 ish
Saturday 8ish oneards
not getting dark till later nowadays so probably finish around 5 depending how things are going

Put me down for Friday am and Saturday pm, possibly Sunday for a few hours as well. I need a membership form too, I guess you're the person to speak to?

Chris

Jamie,

You actually do something at Uni mate ? I thought all you lot do is drink drink drink wohoooo sounds great any places for a young 39 year old ?

:thumbsup:

I will be down sunday morning, light duties though as the backs given me a bit of stick this week.:(

I've checked and the forecast is bright and sunny so lights won't be needed, besides, if there are enough of us, "many hands make light work"....

:-/

Chris

Hi chaps,

Good to see this thread has got a bit more alive. I know we all have commitments. I have 3 young kids so i no, but i am going to try and get down for a bit on Friday, will be there all day Saturday and Sunday if need be. I know we all like our racing, but we have got 2 regionals this year with the track as it is. ( which I might add is awesome) All we want to do is take it to the next level and that takes
HELP!!. Lots have visited this thread but very little in the way of help. The more help the better chance of a good practise session on Sunday when done. So bring your cars Sunday do some work and try out new track and features.

Just like to thank the people that are coming to help, and do understand that some people really cant get down.

Cheers

Dan

I'm in for Sunday but do I need some tools etc

Hi Deano,

Bring anything you may think handy from hand tools to power tools. The club has some bits as you know but always handy having plenty.

See you Sunday

Cheers
Dan

Dan

Mason's got his paint brush at the ready and I can bring a Hammer so if you want a some extra help Mace and I will come down.

Mark

Hi guys. Sorry I can't get there to help. I know I only live 8 minutes away, but my back problems will not allow me to do anything too physical at the moment.
I would like to say though, that I do respect and acknowledge that without such a loyal group of people, none of us would have a club/track to race at. From my personal point of view, Many,many thanks to everyone involved. Without your efforts my future fun would be reduced. I look forward to seeing your efforts next week. Cheers. Brian.

hi guys, sorry for the no show but this morning was spent waiting for the doctor to ring me back about this stupid cough ive had since January, I'm now sat here in my PJs popping pills, fire on full whack, hot honey and lemon, a double shot of vodka and nurse Leilei tending to my needs.

Would like to pop down tomorrow but dont think I'm being a git if I dont turn up.:cry:

Any excuse to get Lei into the Nurses outfit again! No wonder you do not want to get better :) LOL!

A big thanks to all that have helped over this weekend with a magnificent turn out of 18 people today to give the final push.
I would list names but everyone who helped knows who they are.
Superb effort by all will try and post pics later for those that couldn't make it.

i gotta say the track looked FANTASTIC, did any one get a chance to take a car round the track if so how did it go lap times etc??:thumbsup:

track is good dean not sure of the lap times but its fast and easy to drive

thanks to you as well chris for spending the last 3 days at the track and thanks to nora for keeping us in tea :thumbsup:
