Further info from Scott on where the funds would go to:
Eddie,
Sounds like you’re off to a great start, I’m glad that your effort is being rewarded; the motorcycle racing community is once again displaying the type of camaraderie and spirit that makes it so fun to be a part of. When it all comes down to it, - that is the most important part of armature racing.
Determining whether the money will be used is basically a timing issue.
Based on when you forward the funds, and what we are able to get accomplished.
But we will definitely define an area that the funds were used for and make it known where and what that is.
Does that make sense?
Chances are it is going to be a phase one type of thing, probably tree clearing in both the entrance to the carousel and T1-T2.
These are both high priorities based on what I know. I thing the next phase is going to be trucking in a lot of fill dirt to bring both of these areas up to a reasonable grade to allow us to have a decent contour from the track to the new wall. In addition to back filling we will need to design adequate drainage to keep the new run-off area properly drained. Both of these areas are fairly low and will need extensive fill and drainage, but I believe we have the required fall or slope available to get the water to flow away from where we don’t want it to be anymore.
T9 has been listed as a high priority, but unless we get real creative our options are limited to creating a better wall there.
There is a creek that passes behind the existing wall along the exit of T9.
This creek is also the property line along the western border of the track property, so I’m not sure if we have many options to make significant increases in the run-off there, but we will explore whatever options are possible. The neighbor on that side may be more than happy to allow us to extend the creek to the west in exchange for excavating or some other form of compensation or trade-off.
Again, congrats on the excellent start and good luck.
Regards, Scott
T1-T2 runoff improvements would hold a special place in my heart, given my past history there ..
So how long should we run this until? How about Monday, September 25th?
I'll have the webpage up later today also ..
