The board is planning a field trip to the the new site this weekend to scope more things out and start the final planning process. We will be looking at utility hookups and placement of the track and pit areas too. From here we can then order materials and start construction soon.

We will need as many volunteers as we can to help build our new facility. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to come pitch in anyway that they can. Material donations and labor are greatly appreciated and will help keep down the costs associated with the creation of our new outdoor home.

We will have a list of things we need to get done posted soon along with a list of "project managers" to work with for the various tasks.

Things that we will need for sure are trucks and trailers to haul things from the Rockpile site to the new one. The plan is to use the existing drivers stand. Revisions to the pitbox are planned.

We will also want to use a "ditch witch" trenching machine for a day to get the utilites underground. Once track construction starts a vibratory plate compactor might come in handy too.

I have great confidence that our membership and fellow racers will work to make the new Marcca outdoor location an excellent facility. It will take many hours and lots of hard work but the results will be something we will all be proud of and provide us with a great place to enjoy our hobby with our friends and family.
