the gate is still not back from Whistler so there will be no race. there will be a dig day soon as we now have lots of dirt to play with.

only 35 but still beat the 30-39 BC cup Champion 4 out of 6 races

Jackson fess up the dirt is not the issue it wouldnt take more than 8 people to carry the gate to the top. You just have not figured a way to get it back. And i also heard Kevin Obrian is not lending his ram any more.lets be strait up for a change Garry.

I guess you used a forum to post this because you know that if you said it to my face i'd knock out the rest of your teeth.

Get your facts in line: whistler will bring the gate down as soon as i ask. but the reality is it will be me and "maybe" two other people dragging it up the hill. I simply couldn't be bothered.

I have dumped 100's of hours and more money than i would admit to wife into this project just to get it off the ground. Now i spend most of free time moving a big old pile of dirt, (by myself)

the question i need to ask myself is this: why should i bother?

thanks again for the kind words John. if anyone asks why the race track isn't running anymore, just post your last thread.

jackson out!

i simply can't carry this project on my back anymore.

john was THE ONLY person volunteering on this project and he has thrown in the towel.

if the track is going to survive, people have to support it. spending 15+ hours a week is one thing, but i'm not willing to have people call me a liar.

You boys play nice now. There's life after bike racing y'know.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Typically, there is practice on a Tuesday evening (you must pay to race on the Wednesday in order to practice on Tuesday). And racing is on Wednesday starting at approx 6:30pm. You can practise on Wednesday before racing, I think that starts at either 4pm or 5 pm.

I don't know if racing is on tomorrow evening though. Hopefully Gary or someone will post here and confirm.
