Track Work Party and Club Meeting
Saturday, April 8
9AM at the track
Lunch and club meeting at Round Table Pizza to follow
Bring gloves and rakes to clean the place up

During the club meeting, we will confirm race classes and specs. A couple of things have evolved this Spring, one being that ROAR has adjusted touring classes from six minutes to five. This emerges from years of discussion among racers at many races, so it is FAR from a random ROAR thing. If anything, they've been slow to follow the crowd. It's worth a conversation. Also, for touring classes - spec tire or no? Currents of opinion run strong in both directions. We need to DECIDE and ACT before the start of the season.

Track Upgrades
This is a weather-dependent scope of work, so I am thinking it will push into May or June. We are looking to re-paint the islands and add a perimeter stripe. During the April 8 club meeting, we will discuss whether and how to barrier portions of the track.
