The planning and assessing options started at the end of last season with welcomed support offered with equipment and time from within the club members. 16 or more enthusiastic members came together the 1st weekend of Feb on both Saturday & Sunday to start discussing the new layout and transporting the clay base from the other side of Speedway City on to the track. The interest was that high that when a good suggestion was made many hands pitched in and completed the tasks before you could even blink which was great to see. During the week a track grade was undertaken with the help on the speedways grader.
The next weekend was as much the same with many of the crew from the previous week turning up to help both Saturday and Sunday again. At the end of the second weekend the base was in place and plenty of water added with the new truck and plenty of laps in heavy vehicles to pack down the surface. Over this time several loads of different mixes was brought in and mixed to see if it was suitable with a combination decided on by group decision. Mid week the new mix was brought in with Alan Barlee (the new 360 sprintcar Aust No1) having some spare time offering to mix and setup the track ready for racing that took several days of his time with the use again of the speedways equipment (Thanks again Alan & Speedway City). Several dedicated club members also managed to find some free time mid week to go out to the track and help support Allan with track watering and track packing.
The 3rd weekend was again busy with fences still being moved, improving the run off area on the back of the backing, watering and track packing. In the last week watering the track started Thursday and Friday nights with Saturday getting it's final preparation before practice day.
It wasn’t only the track that had the attention as the Club rooms had a thorough clean after the long break, the new kitchen for the ladies in the canteen has been progressing and the weeds killed off and removed around the pits.
Thanks for the positive feedback as the time and effort put in has been aimed to improve the racing and the viewing spectacle and positive comments make it all worth the effort. Thanks to all who has helped as changes and improvements doesn’t happen without the volunteers giving up some spare time to help improve their club facilities. Well done to all involved.
With time to settle the tack should be even better by the first meeting on the 28th March.
See ya track side!

Very nice track surface should make for some great racing. Should be a lot easier to form up now.

All those karters who frustrate you by hugging the gutter and then on the straight they go around the outside of you on the new track you should be able to go around the outside of people around the corners. Use the track cush. Well done to all involved, track is great, I like it.

[Mr X]

Well done to all those members who did attend you did a great job.
