Cheers

[slimracer]

i be there with gtb and gt14 b rally x on

[brian s]

apparently the slippery floor is now even more slippery than before,or so i have been informed

[blue_pinky]

We've got no idea how the new floor will be grip wise! A few of us went to the hall on Friday night to check it out, and see what prep, if any, we needed to do.

We've done a few running repairs to things, hoovered and flipped a load of the carpet, and have a few other things still to do.

We might lay more carpet in the short term, to see how new coating works out, but the biggest change will be NO DRAGGING of the track ramps/boxes/wood/goal posts/tables etc. That is absolutely a must so anyone helping with setup and pack down, could we please be really careful. Everything will need to be lifted and carried from now on

[Dombrasky]

Yep im coming over, itching to run the GTB at caldi again

[Belsten]

Im in. IF it is more slippy should make things interesting in 2wd

[evilbert]

i cant make it this week

[hit5005]

I'm in micro I think

[zoaman]

what about any thoughts as to the chaps that get there early to set up. obviously 1 man can carry larger jumps by themselves.so with the xtra work of carrying will this lead to a later start and therefore less racing.so could there be something put into place where the early people can leave a message so we know how many will be turning up early and also stay late.. i know there is 1 sack truck but is it worth getting another. ect

[peetbee]

Using the sack truck is a good idea, but until we get there this week and try it all out we don't really know how it's going to work

[Belsten]

Not sure who is getting the keys but I can if needed and be there for 6ish ?

[brian s]

i shall do my normal picking up of the keys and making a start on the track, need to get some rollers or something to move the boxes about as you need at least two people to carry them.

[peetbee]

Sack truck?

[brian s]

it will need to be a big sack truck!

[peetbee]

Fork lift?
I may know where another sack truck is.....

[brian s]

i dont think a sack truck will carry an 8`x 4` box

[shaungooner]

a couple of mechanics creeper trollies like these would do it

just lift each end of the item that needs moving onto one of these then wheel it to its intended destination and lift each end off
