What’s going on with the new track and work party plans.

I went out to the new track on Wednesday and talked with the track builder. He was working on the turns and the rhythm section. He said that clay is coming in on Thursday and that as he finishes a section he would start putting clay in place. He is doing the rough in of the track but needs a lot of help spreading out clay and doing the final grooming. He is out there all day during daylight hours except for lunch breaks and etc. He could use a few people on Friday to help but we will need a lot of help Saturday and Sunday starting at 8:00 AM until-? both days.
Here is a partial list of what we need help with especially this weekend.

1. Spreading the clay out smooth
2. Packing the track if you have a quad we could use ask Tim tonight at practice if he needs it.
3. Please bring any rakes and shovels you have. We have some but could use more.
4. Pouring the concrete on starting hill is planed for Saturday.
5. We also could use help with running errands and getting food & drinks for volunteers.

Other things to work on are.

1. Fencing depending on who will be able to help Tim is hoping to start the weekend after Thanksgiving.
2. Two of the portables are in place but not put together. They really need a good cleaning out. One has already been gone through. They have been exposed to the weather for a long time.
3. Painting the storage units to help keep them from rusting and to make them look better. I will pick up some paint for these.
4. Electrical (A list of what we need to do with this will be posted later.)
5. Plumbing (A list of what we need to do with this will be posted later.)
6. Please remember currently there is no power or water on site. If you want to use power tools a generator would be needed. Several of us have ones that we could bring out.

The official address of the new track is 10201 28th St, N. St. Pete fl. 33716 The track is directly across the street from the big hill of the landfill. There is a sign out front. This is a new address and may not show up on your maps. Here is a link to find the property on google maps. Map to new track.

"Note the new track is NOT open for practice or races all of our race and practices are at the old track. Information below."

We will update the website as we go along and post a list of what we need to work on at the new track.
Thank you for all of your help.
