So the "OLD MAN" has to show you youngsters how to build it then. As I've said before I can put it up by myself so it's saying a lot for you lot.
If you can't drive it then what hope do we have of "improving" the track. It's going to end up like the old track when 2 or 3 people who couldn't do the double, that it had taken 2 days to build, to turn up on a Saturday and flatten it to a featureless rise.
Then there's the situation of "the concrete bank wears the tyres, let's cover it with Astro".
What happened to the painting that we decided to do to highlight the features we've got?
Come to think of it, what happened to the work party that was going to paint the rostrum fence. We've had the paint for months but each time I go into the container the cans have been shifted.
Sounds to me that there are a few whingers trying to influence a majority who turn up to race whatever the track.
