​

A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes into making a fun event, and it begins long before the season starts. This is your chance to contribute your time and muscle towards the upcoming season.  

​

The plan for this year is very ambitious, and we need as many volunteers as possible!

​

What to bring

Here is the list of items that would be very helpful for the work party:

• Gloves

• Shovels

• Rakes

• Saws

• Clippers

• Construction tools (for building stands)

• Bobcats (we might be able to help with gas costs, please contact to arrange)

• Treated wood (compensation arrangements possible)

• Plate compactor (we might be able to help with gas costs, please contact to arrange)

​

The master plan

​

Track expansion 

We are still working on getting hill loop in shape for racing. 

​

Road expansion

With more competitors and spectators staging are is getting a bit too tight. Hopefully we can add some more parking to the access road. 

​

Camping sites

New campsites were a hit last year.  We want to make them a bit bigger and clear out any new growth.

​

Moving trees out of the way

There are some fallen trees that need to be moved. Most of them are small and medium size. While the Bobcat will be busy making campsites, volunteers with chainsaws will need to move the trees out of the way. 

​

Stocking up wood for colder month

As the result of the clean up we will have lots of wood. We would like to cut it up and store through the summer, so that it can be used in colder time for camp fires. 

​

Fixing track surface

There are some places where we want to fill in the ruts and even out the surface of the track.  Most of this can be done with our little tractor. Some places would really benefit from a plate compactor. 

​

Removing garbage

We will need to remove lots of garbage from the track.  We will need volunteers to go around and collect trash from around the area. We will also need to load stuff in the trucks to take to the dump on the way home.

​

Build the stands

Some work was done last year, but there is still a lot to do to make benches for our guests. 

​

We will be serving free lunch at the event

​

We hope to see you there!
