The track is looking good for racing today. Thanks to Russell, Rodger and Ben for clearing the water yesterday to allow the track time to dry.
Working Bee Canceled!
Unfortunately, the track is too wet to work on today. There is a bit of water to clear off though to let the track dry for racing tomorrow, so if any local members are available for 8am to help clear water, it would be appreciated. Thanks
