Default track update

We will still be working on finishing up the track on Saturday so there will not be any practice available on saturday.

BUT we may be able to have open practice on Sunday (weather permiting). The only stipulation is that the first race of the season for supermoto is at pats acres on sunday and there will be a 5$ gate fee to get into pats acres plus our regular 8$ for practice all day (13$ all day practice and supermoto pit admission).
I will have our lap timing system running if everything goes well for most of day. With times being auto announced over our PA System for fine tuning your r/c.




**On Supermoto race days and Kart race days (some sundays) there will be gate fees of 5$. I scheduled all races around the dates to save people a little money. Just keep in mind if you do go out there during the summer and its a Supermoto or kart race day there will be a 5$ gate fee. I will post the gate fee days on our website schedule for 2011.

Thanks

What's the story with practice during the week? Can we come out and practice anytime Pat's is open?

Also, how does power work out there? Do we need to bring our own power source? Is there a power source out there for us to use with an extension cord or something?

Thanks.

Verify with Mike but once the track is up and running you can practice whenever Pats is open, it was $8.00 for all day last year but again check with Mike. Power is available just bring an extension cord.

Pop Up, table, extension cord, chair is a good idea to bring to the track with you. We do have power, water, lights although I do need to make sure its working still, since it has been under water for a while.

This message is to all people who wish to come out and practice, we look forward to you coming and ejoying our facility.

Grand opening for practice is scheduled for Sunday May 8th, the day after our grand opening for racing May 7th. Mad Mike may say it's okay this Sunday, give him a call if you have questions or check our website, or this thread.

Pat's Acres is usually only closed Mondays. They open around 10 or 11 and the close at dusk.

Once the track is open and operational you may practice throughout the week and weekends when there is no racing.

Make SURE you check in at the office at Pat's acre's and pay the practice fee BEFORE you practice. Unless Mike is out there, then you just pay him directly. Also on race days you pay Mike directly. Please do not make Pat's staff come out and get the practice fee from you.

Electricity should be on, as Mike said we have yet to test it. Just bring your extension cord. table, pop up.. barbecue etc.

In the past we left hoses out for people to water the track as needed, unfortunately because of a few peoples actions like watering the bejezzus out of lips and corners when it's 100 degrees out and creating havoc we removed them and only water as needed when we race. Track modifications are not allowed.

Track runs clockwise. I always chuckle when people jump on and start going the wrong direction. You car will be torpedo'd and destroyed by another car.

The track is locked and gated when not in use, if you are the first one there, open it up, you the last? then close it and lock it up.

Pick up your garbage too.

This track was estabilshed so people in the Northwest had a top notch facility to enjoy RC, whether your a beginner or seasoned vet.

The Rise crew has really out done themselves for 2011, we cannot wait to get the season underway.

please let us know if the track well be open this sunday for practice. it would be really nice to have a day to set up before the first race. or move the first race back a few hours to let everyone have some set up time. just a thought that might help out alot of us.

Look forward to seeing everyone at the first round.

Keep and eye on this thread and mainly the Rise website for an up to date schedule.

Tq,

We posted last week that at the first round we will have an extended practice session due to no practice before the first round.

look forward to seeing you guys at the race.

Definitly will let everyone know on practice sunday or not.

Morning practice at the first race will be extended, its kinda a relaxed schedule at our series races. Our races are very accomidating and easy going for everyone.
