Track Maintenence Days
« on: February 17, 2007, 09:34:45 AM »
The mailed newsletter said that there would be postings on the ECTA Website giving days when we could come volunteer to work on the track.  I haven't seen any postings for this.  Any updates?  I'm not working right now and could likely put in some hours.

See Y'all at the track soon

The newer chemistry of the returned material on the salt and the unpredictable weather have substantially reduced the available window of time.
Dragging works all night if the situation demands.
Keep a close watch and thank you for helping us race.

Yes I know that and I specifically mentioned the salt that has it's own set of problems.
I was also a general THANK YOU for those that have the best interest of the all events at heart.

I STILL don't know when we should show up to work on the track!  With Tonya off to Austria - er - Australia, I'm hoping someone knows.  Maybe Donna or Joe or sombody?
