Final Laps for 2011
Although the racing season is over there is still much to do this year before we put a cap on 2011. Anyone interested in helping out would be earning some credit towards future racing events. Here is what is on our list before we close the facility down:
In the past we have always waited until spring to repair and paint. This year we would like to try to get many of those projects done yet this fall. We have a pretty good supply of paint and lumber on hand that won't do us any good sitting in the storage room so I'm hoping that some good fall weather will help us out and then we won't have to worry about what the spring time is going to bring. We have both indoor and outdoor painting to do.
We have some sizable cracks on the track that I want to get filled and sealed so that we won't incur too much winter damage. Sealing the track against water and frost damage this fall will give us a better track in the spring.
All of the signs around the facility will be taken down and stored for the winter; All of the trash cans will be picked up and stacked; All of our extra tires will find a new home.
Towards the end of October we will turn off the water, winterize the system and varmit proof the buildings. That will also be the time that we do any final cleaning.
We are really looking forward to getting a lot of these things done this year since we already have a lot of big plans for 2012! If you have a desire to help out please call me anytime at (810) 965-6698
The 2011 Racing Season Banquet will again be held at Gigi's Banquet and Catering Center on December 3rd. We are putting this event together right now and ironing out the details so that we can post the times and cost soon. We are interested to know if a Friday or a Saturday Banquet is more convenient or desirable. We are also thinking about moving the date up closer to the end of the season next year and we would like to hear your opinion on that. Please call Jennie at (810) 513-2815 to let her know.
Thanks again for a great season! Jennie and I both appreciate all of you hard working volunteers for your dedication, passion and efforts. We will do our best to make your volunteerism worth your while!
