Default im in.

I have to start with how disappointed and shocked i was today with the theft of Chris' speed controller. This is the first incident i have heard of at the club and will be making the council aware if not just to reinforce the need for best parking options as possible. Yes the item was taken from within race control but security is still very important as all kit is essentially exposed to any passers by.


Johnny,

i have pm'd you my mobile. I am best for weekends although could get out for a couple of hours some evenings.
I shall be looking at some rubber based track marking stuff as well as a visit to the fire station this week. Im keeping all options open but think some sand filled fire hose could work in some areas of the track and possibly left out if nailed down.
If you can source the track paint either get it and invoice the club or let roger know the cost. But we could do with it soonest.
We also desperately need some better pegs and decent hammers.
Someone did volunteer to get hold of some decent pegs but can't recall who that was. If your reading this please pm me or confirm on here.
I will purchase some decent hammers and invoice roger.

To finish on a more positive note than started roger has done a sterling job on the new tabletop ramp. :thumbsup
We know we need more features than just this but it's a good start.

Darren

You can Bring them up when you Southern Jessie's come upto get your arses kicked Neil !!!!!!


I have a catalogue with all kinds of hosing and flexible rubber machine duct I think some of it would be ideal but I do also think hemp anchor rope around the peramitter painted white would be good
