Some prep work was done during the week, by yours truly, with the help of Bob Riley wheeling a tractor around the arena...

 

On Friday, Bob prepped the first straight-a-way, the staging area, the gate location area, and started the first jump...  While Bob was busy with those tasks, I was working on the turns...

 

On Saturday, what may have been the largest building crew we have ever had for a track  build started showing up at 8:00am...

    -- Rick VanderWaal arrived first with his tractor, and was waiting for everyone else, while some folks were still in the shower.....

    -- Steve Clark also arrived early and joined Rick waiting...

    -- Will & Dylan Wilson

    -- T.K. & Brandon Corey

    -- Nick Roth

    -- Steve Bourke

    -- Larry Spracklin

    -- Jeff Klatman

    -- Reo Gustin

    -- Bob Riley

    -- Lorin Van Ogle

    -- Jim Olsen

    -- Russ Parrish

    -- Dana Mann

    -- Alan Mazuti

    -- Mike Raich

If I forgot or missed someone, I do apologize........

 

This group put up a great track, with some of the track prepared on Friday, they were able to pay some extra attention and time to making the obstacles the way the riders in attendance wanted to see them....   As you read the list of track builders you should have noticed several active rider's names along with several parents of some well known riders...   This crew has experience around race tracks and used it building this track....

 

THANKS GUYS....  YOU ALL DID A HECK OF A JOB....  AS EVIDENCED BY THE EXCITED PEOPLE THAT RODE THE TRACK OVER THE WEEKEND...

 

We had some track building assistance with tractors being donated to help get the track built...

Rick VanderWaal furnished a tractor for the day...

Janice and Warwick Bryant donated a tractor for the day...

Premier Rentals in Port Orchard provided us with a two day for one, rental for a back hoe...

In Appreciation, thank you to all of you who provided tractor assistance....
