The 09 season is the most important in our club and track history. Westwood has decided to move on and I wish them all the best. The challenges that we have as a club are not great but they do however require our memberships involvement.We have one project in particular that no one wants or likes to do and that is tire wall changes. Earlier this year the club decided to run the track in reverse direction and the direction was to change after this next weekend. The tire walls have not been modified or adjusted in order to allow this to happen.

Why you ask?

Because we are all so busy in our day to day lives that many of us have not made GMR hands on work a priority.  I am not trying to make anyone feel bad here because I truly understand.  The problem is that the work still needs to be done.

I would ask that each and everyone of us do what ever we can to come out and assist in the next work day at the track so that this job can be made easy.

Peter will be posting the next work day on the web site and I would guess it will be either the 25th or the 26th of April.

I remember when we would see 100 plus people out here working for 6 or 8 hours and the work completed was amazing. Those people are still here and we can do this job and do it quickly if we get support from our members. A new tradition has started and that is the daily barbeque to feed the volunteers. It has been a time to share and to visit. It is a time to laugh and develop new friendships like never before. Things have changed.

This is a new day people a new beginning and I can tell you that the changes have been exciting to see happen. There is a buzz around the pits and people are enjoying the projects like they did when we first arrived here in Chilliwack. The place is different and I for one feel more at home than in the past. I once again enjoy coming down to the track and puttering or helping someone with their project.

Please consider these words and come out to the track and experience the change!
