Two days ago Vancouver Miniature Auto Racing (VMAR) received a letter from the City of New Westminster informing them that the proposed location for the Off Road track under the Queens borough bridge has been approved for a two, month trial period. Starting July 15, 2005 and ending September 17, 2005. So we have work to do, we as in every one that wants to see a full time off road track built. One of he VMAR members is securing the use of a piece of heavy equipment to strip the grass of the sight in preparation for track construction. Inferno has volunteered to run that equipment. The track doesn’t have to be pretty, just some thing quick and Please excuses the pun Dirty. We need a simple track so we can hold a race or two. The officials from the City want to see us in action so they can understand what R/C racing is all about and that we are a great bunch of people and that we are not going to cause them any grief. Then they will wave their magic wand presto we have a permanent place to play and build an awesome track. So who wants to HELP! Derrill  |

I‘m more then willing to help out on non kamikaze day’s seeing that we
Still have lots of work to do on the track and if the weather is good I’ll come out Sunday and help
More tracks can only help to get more people in to this Great hobby sport

Well I went out there today no work
Was gowning on today and it sounds like all work
Parties are planed for the same days that we can
Work on the kamikaze Track
It would be nice if they picked different day so we could help
Looks like they got a lot done on Saturday
Like I said before I’m more then willing to lend a hand on
None kamikaze days. But there’s just to much that needs
To be done and only having three half days makes it hard

Today(Sun) was race day at Vmar. Sat was the only day we could get the machine. Check the Vmar site for work days. I think Wed is the next one, but double check the site. Sundays are a bad day for Vmar because of racing. Sundays are better for me as well.. I'll keep ya posted.

More people will show. That way both tracks can get done. Just an Idea... |

Are you talking to yourself again greg? ;D
There must be someone in Vmar that can be there on a sunday to coordinate some work. You will probably find that you will get the help from the people who Run only offroad. I know I could put in some work on a Sunday.

yup, sundays would be awesome. I am a camrc member and go out when I can to work on the track, usually fridays. that only leaves me sunday before I go back to work. I work graveyards so weekday nights are totally out for me. I stay awake when I get home and sleep until about 11 pm. (be like you normal people being asked to come do track work at 3 am on a workday)... that leaves a decision... race saturday or work on a track.... honestly it's such a tough call  |

Someone should change the name of this thread - unless VMAR was previously blind and now has secured sight.  I think "site" is the word. ;D ;D Why don't you aim for non Tuesday, Friday or Saturday for your work parties so you don't conflict with CAM RC track days? You'll probably get more helpers.  |

We are having the next work party on Thursday and we have to use Saturdays because we race on road on Sundays. Judging from the progress we have been making there should not be much left to do after Saturday.

The bottom line is that it is conflicting with CAM RC Offroad racing this Saturday where a big event is planned.
It's the enduro race.
Why don't you promote the offroad events around the lower mainland. All VMAR representatives say that they want to bring all racers together, make it better racing for everybody, etc etc....
Is VMAR still standng for what they said they are standing for, or have things changed?
There have been several people who mentioned the conflict on Saturday to me in the last days...
Anyway, I'm sure it will get resolved somehow....
