The Exec have been pretty busy just lately, getting our lease sorted for the next 25 years and making plans for our next improvements to the facility. This week we have started to lay new material from the bridge to Suzuki corner. Ed Allen was up there at 06:00 Monday morning prepping the ground for the drop from Wacor.

What we have now  is a clay based material that will form a base layer.  We are now in the process of covering that with a top dressing that will remain workable and erodable without breaking through to the rocky crap underneath.

If you go up to the track now you will find that from the bridge and up to Suzuki corner is blocked off. You must turn left  at the bridge barricade then immediatly turn right up and over the bridge.

Please do not ride on the new material, it is not yet ready. Hopefully it will be by this weekend.

We are also in the process of updating our watering system and  availablity. We will be looking for help in completing this in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned for more news.

EXTRA RACE

We will be putting on our delayed extra fun race the week after our Fall event. This will be Saturday 25th September. Signing on will be at 12:00 pm with practice at 1:00 pm then race at 2:00pm.

Classes and more details to follow, but there will be a Trail Bike class and over 50 race. Again the idea is to bring in inexperienced riders who are keen to have a go, but without the full expence of a full blown race day. Hopefully the bug will then bite a few. Entry will be pre-enter, by down loading  the entry form and sending in your entry. Entry is limited to the first 100. More details will follow very shortly.

Our proposed race on the 21st August has been cancelled, for several reasons, one being the heat and possible fire risk. New date for an extra race in the Fall will be announced shortly, this will not be an extra Fall Championship race.

The display at the Canada Day celebration in Campbell River was a huge success. Over 80 information packs were given out and lots of  candy and freebies. People were very interested and many said they had allways intended to get to the races, hopefully now more of them  will. A great effort by the Executive, lead by Monique with thanks to Tim, Andy, Elaine and the kids.
