4/4/2007 MEETING NOTES:

Last night's meeting focused on final track modifications and preparation, and a few of us will be meeting trackside the morning of April 14th to mark off the areas where the fence will go, locate the staging area, as well as adding another drain tile to relieve the first and last straight.

The work weekend is scheduled for April 20th thru April 22nd and we'll appreciate all the help we can get. Please shoot us an e-mail at lavacycles@sbcglobal.net if you think you can help. Volunteers are needed to help with the handwork associated with final shaping of jumps, shoveling, raking, etc. Also, if anybody has a four wheeled ATV that we could use for track packing purposes available on that weekend ... we'd love to hear from you. We have one, but, at the rate that Mike Froh can run the loader, packing with two ATV's would be helpful.

We should also have the air ram, sure start and compressor by that weekend, so, with a little luck, we may try and drop a few gates late Sunday afternoon.

Thanks to all for your continued support and we're definitely looking forward to getting back track side soon.

Roxanne Schneider continues working on the final version of the Milwaukee BMX schedule and reminded us that we hadn't noted any fees for "Open Class" ... good catch Roxanne !!! We definitely will have open class, in addition to the regular classes, and the cost will be $3. You must be signed up in a regular class to run open.
