We really need to shift this sand, when it's sorted though it's going to be awesome!

2 stones, we need a 15 minute team effort to remove the larger hardcore stones, it's a quick job.

3 fencing on the fence needs putting up and the shop end as I flew through it

4 tyres.... Spikes are a must anything else and it just skates on the surface.

5 we need to pin the carpet down as this hasn't been done, due to size I would normally put about 250 - 300 pins in there

The main issue is the sand and protecting the electircs and gears. Before we race we really need half hour with blowers and brushes to clear as much sand as possible!
what???the track is still warm from the council workers,yeah things still need doing. keep sending that rango of yours round the track to clear the sand for us all......... as thats all its good for lol!

Default Rostrum

A BIG THANKS to James and Mark for the great job of welding up our new rostrum
Theres a bit more to do when the steps get put up, the mesh, and then it needs painting.

If it was just Jim, there would be no problem, but as Mark has had a hand I'll give it a week before total collapse!








Only joking!!!

You've got them mixed up Col, Mark would have polished all the nuts and bolts and then lined them up in order of size before fitting a single one! We dont call Mark Mr Anal for nothing!

Its not finished yet... Still some more bits and bats to weld on. The steps need getting into place so we can finish off. It was a long day yesterday but we got loads done... Give me a shout when your ready with the steps and I'll be over to get it finished.

Bury must have the biggest rostrum in the world!!! And the new track looks awesome!
