Hope your wrong Dan, but the forecast seems to agree with you.
Tue -Rain Thur -chance of rain Sat -chance of rain
Sunday looks good, but if it rains on Saturday we're screwed, and if that's the case, we'll just have to do a quick tidy up on Sunday if possible. We won't run on a wet track, we'll just ruin it and our cars.
All we can do is hope the rain holds off after tuesday.

All we can do is wait and see , the scarey part is that the last time we had a race day planned way back in jan 2012 it got washed out and that spelt the end to the club as we knew it back then .Atleast this time we have more people that want it to work this time so RAIN RAIN STAY AWAY AND COME BACK ANOTHER DAY ( sorry childhood regression it sometimes happens )

Hopefully we don't get too much rain. Either way we can always keep going with the track work on Sunday if its too wet to drive. Fingers crossed though.

Ethan & I disregarded the weather and continued with track work today. Followed by theproducttester & jacob - Then snoopy came down. Alot of water needed a way out, we helped that happen in the hope that when the rain stops, the track will 'hold' less water hence drying quicker. Obviously with the weather, the race day tomorrow is canned.

Yeh Pete, ill be down to make further assessment on drainage and condition.
Today was the start of a more permanent drainage fix.
In the coming week we will blade the track and make final adjustments in the hope of rescheduling a club meet in a fortnight or so (weather permitting)

first I would like to say its great to see people taking an interest in the track when its up and running its a great facility. went and had a look today and it looked like a lot has been going on there. all the surface on the front straight that's been getting worked what are you guys doing with it , reusing it somewhere els or rolling it . only asking because the same thing happened to us years back with that clay and we let I go hard and it was a nightmare to work with. good luck anyway fella's hope it turns out the way it used to be , build it and they will come ...

Big thank you to the fellas that could make it down today & lend a hand.
Pete, Ethan, Tom, Pauly, Dave (snoopy), Kiwi Dave , Aaron, Jacob, Dragan, Keiran.
Out of these handful of guys, some were there at the crack of dawn & some - still there working in the dark at the end of today.
Alot of work was done - with much more to go, though the track is really shaping up.
Some of these guys will be there tomorrow on their friday long weekend day off.
More work will continue on saturday in prep for the local club meet on sunday.
