You see one of the best new things about Sid's is not just the jumps, or dirt, new features or the ever-changing layout. It's the new energy.... it's positive. The place is fun again. We're not gonna miss half a season because it rained 4 times. We're not staring at pile of soil, waiting for a university to tell us what kind of dirt we've got. I know it was a lot of work for the last Few guys, the "committee", they told us so, all the time. There were far more issues and complaints on the forum than tech talk or race announcements. A little negative for my liking, but by all means, overall, a "commendable" job.
Well here we are, a couple seasons later, 180 degrees and loving it. So instead of worrying about our club president's interests, priorities, or circumstance, I'm gonna focus on how much I can't wait for club race number 3. Saturday BABY!!
Cheers!!
and don't forget...... Don't hate, congratulate.

No offense taken. We did the best we could with what little personal time we had available.....the time and distance to travel from our respective homes to the track did not help matters......

I commend Michael and crew for what they have done with the place, job well done!

That being said, what does concern me is that once again the considerable effort involved in keeping the track open has fallen on the shoulders of only a few volunteers.

No matter how good people's intentions are, this is not a sustainable situation for the long term.

One thing in our lives that is constant is change: changes in interests, changes in responsibilities, changes in priorities, changes in personal (family, financial, health, etc.) circumstances.

Lets hope that when change comes for the current crew that there are new parties ready and willing to take over.

Wishing Sid's Raceway much success and longevity,
