Guys

Will keep u posted, if enough people of keen to do some work, Monday/Tuesday may be the option. Ideally pin down the rest of the track and move all remaining old astro, then we can race Sunday the 2nd?

But will need some help for Monday or Tuesday, ideally looking for 8 bodies minimum.

Please post if you can make say Tuesday AM 28th 9am to whenever work is complete.

Thanks Steve

I can make it both monday or tuesday. Track still needs features put in,when are they going to be done?.
Happy Christmas to all TORCH members and their families and a Great New Year 2011 to the club!

Guys

Looking like a Tuesday work party, 10am start ish, will need some drill ans hammers etc to help finish track.

Mark, features need to be built fom scratch and this will take money that the club does not have at moment. Idea is to make features that are portable to a degree that will enable us to change the track now and again, maybe the only main feature that will remain the same will be the table top. otherwise anything goes to a degree but not any feature that presents risk to marshalls or damaging cars too easily.

We need:

1. Triple jump a 1 - 1.5 foot high

2. 2 single 1 foot jumps

3. Table top that is designed in mind to land the other down slope to avoid nasty accidents.

4. any other suggestions

All,

A 10am start tormorow with the aim to finish the track, a few of us spent the afternoon traying to finash the track, however still need to complete a quarter of the track.

Tasks:

1. Pin remaining track markings.
2. Nail down racing line where astro meets together.
3. Revisit all track markings and pin down further to secure track better.
4. Site marshall spots with slabes
5. Move all old astro to parking area.
6. Sweep track.
7. Clear any remaing rubbish..

If this can be achieved this week, we will race Sunday 9am start, weather depending, also worth maybe a full days meeting. Dependant on numbers as well.

Some feedback on the post would be appreciated,
