Post by **John Kwong** » Tue Jul 29, 2014 11:59 am

If you didn't get the email from motorsportreg or didn't see the front page of the website...

Dear Members,

If you are in town for the long weekend, your club needs you. The time has come to move the CKRC equipment stored at the farm near Dewinton. We will need: trucks, trailers, flat bed trailers, tie straps and anything that can carry equipment. NO MATTER HOW SMALL, AS LONG AS IT CAN HAUL. and of course manpower, manpower and manpower. The move last fall in 2013 went smoothly and with many hands it should not take too long.

We need to move the corner marshall posts, chain link fencing and posts, the stairs and flooring of the scoring tower, the barrels, the scale shack building walls, sea cans, grandstands and the blue compressor building.

Please bring with you: work gloves, proper shoes(no sandals), a bag lunch, drinking water and large tie straps

We were just notified that the grading equipment and crew will not be available until August 5th and it was decided to use this time to move all the equipment from the farm to the new circuit. We will have a good chance of saving around $10K or more this time if members can come together and help out.

When?
Saturday August 2 starting at 9am - meet at the Farm near Dewinton see directions below
Sunday August 3 starting at 9am

Where?
Farm near Dewinton
Latitude 50°48'54.15"N
Longitude 113°58'46.67"W

Directions
-South on Macleod Trail
-East on Dunbow Road for 2.7km
-take the first right after you cross Deerfoot Trail overpass which is 180 degree turn
-Follow the road. It will curve to the left.
-Go 1.6km on the straight section and there will be 2 hills to go over
-Turn right into the farm entrance and you will see the CKRC equipment stored behind hay rolls

This is going to be a huge task requiring a lot of manpower and equipment split between two locations. Please e-mail back your commitment ASAP.

The secondary crew will be located after the first move at the new track location to unload the equipment

The new track location is here:
Latitude: 51° 1'24.74"N

Directions:

Hi All,

Sunday August 3 Work Party cancelled

The volunteers today were very successful in moving 95% of the CKRC equipment stored at the farm. There will be another work party planned for next Saturday August 9th to finish the last bits and to assemble tire walls. For this we will need two flatbed trailers.

Thank you to all the volunteers from the CKRC, AMRA and SuperMotard clubs that have pulled together for all the work parties. Stay tuned for more updates.

Sincerely,

John Kwong
President
