In my eyes the contractor took possession of the track and all of it's components the day they started work on it and. when it is handed back to bury metro it should be perfect and ready to race on.just like it was when we handed it over
All in all it should be better than it was anything less isn't acceptable and won't be signed off by us the club as a group not left to one man

As for the burnt astro we didn't leave it in harms way did we so it will have to be replaced let's have it right and let's not take any shit!!!

Im sure the kids at goshen will have no problems knocking a wall of bricks down every night once they start the extension it would be cheaper for them to astro the lot !!!

Agree wi buds on this contractors got plenty of cash to fix it and burnt astro better not be part of any new track

I was passing by Goshen yesterday so I called into the track to take a nosey.

The exterior wooden fencing is almost complete. Hardcore is being laid and levelled to raise the track to assist with drainiage.

Looking good

Where is the rostrum and race control going? Come to think of it race control needs a makeover. A couple of sofas, larger tables, central heating, lick of paint and maybe a nice deep carpet.

I have just had a trip down to talk about jumps. They tell me that all the jumps should be finished by the end of next week and then they will start to lay astro. WOW. Been told they want to be off this in 3-4 weeks!

That's great news!

Once it's finished we should have a night of racing/partying at the track to celebrate the opening.
