The carpet is going down soon.

The Off Road is winding down.

I was able to get a TQ in the Truggy class. Pretty psyched about that one. The off road is a whole different deal.

Sweet! Gonna miss practice at lakecity tonight. Shootin for Thursday...interested?

I wish I was filming yesterday. A Supermotard hit the tire fence right in front of us as he overshot the turn at the end of the backstretch. Ass over tea kettle went the bike and the rider. Kat caught the tail end of it. Her comment.." I am pissed I didn't get to enjoy the whole flip" That's my girl! Enjoy and wreck..nice!

Waiting for 2 parts for the COT right now. Just numbers for the body tonight.

Russ called me Saturday. He got the funding for the carpet and the supplies...it's on! He wants to work on it as soon as possible.

Donald: I can't take three weeks off of work to build another multi grove banked track....unless you're paying me>>>

I'll split the pizza if ya help me...better yet, get two.

I don't think banking is in the bank account right now no matter what Russ may tell ya. We got all the 2x4's donated by Lamell Lumber for the last track. We spent a fortune on 2 layers of plywood etc...etc...

As the world turns: The track will be relocated to a more visible address and a town that will approve a recreation permit. The new location will be the old "197" Toro dealership in Essex Jct. 197 Pearl St. Cool site lots of parking and.......wait for it.......



















High Banks!

19 turn helicopter canopy 1/64th scale?

Get off the computer and get a car together. I have never known anyone so diehard that goes to all of the races and never races. How many off road races did you race in this summer? How many were you there for?

:tongue::tongue::tongue:

If you need help my door (well not that one) is always open Big Blue. Just bring beer and I'll get you all put together.

For real!

A new AMB system has been acquired by Sean and I. Just looking for a location. Donald showed us his possible location idea on Monday. What does your possibility for a new location look like? Keep your eyes open guys!:thumbsup:

If you guys have a new counting system why don't you get with Barre RC and talk with them, they already have a great track but, they need a current counting system that you can use Personnel Transponders with. A solution that won't cost any rent and may save an exsisting track, that sounds like a win win situation. Give them a call
802-249-4925 Rod Huntoon. Just a thought

I think we gotta find something in the really low rent district. It needs to fund itself for sure. We already have a solid off-road location. Just need to find an indoor location.

Nice idea Bob. We'll give it some thought. :thumbsup:
