CartBC Cleanup July 26-27, 2008

Please ask all karters to come and help out this weekend to get the track in shape for the upcoming Westwood hosted IKF Gold Cup on August 8,9 & 10th. Westwood has been instrumental in bringing this event back to Canada and we would like to ensure that we put on a good show for our US competitors.

We will work from 9:00 AM till 1:00 PM. No one will be allowed on the track until after 1:00 PM. Non CartBC members who worked will also be allowed on the track after 1:00 PM

There are a number of things that need to get done so here is a short list . Some may not be applicable for this coming weekend but if people have any ideas and can help out in any way we sure would appreciate it:

Tires:

Bring gloves, rain boots and jacket, OK mosquito repellant. The tire walls need to be retied. This is a big job and very tedious but is required as part of our insurance so the more people we have doing it the quicker it will get done.

Weed Eating

If you have a weed eater bring it as we will be able to do some weed eating in the spectator areas and along the fence line as well.

Paint

We need to paint the railings for the bleachers and the starters stand. If you have brushes, wire brushes for cleaning rust and scale and paint thinner that would be great

PA System/Wiring:
