***EDIT 2/10 There is a big push by organizer Ted Winning to get this project completed by the end of February. The last of the tires and all the necessary hardware are ON SITE so all that's left is to get them bolted together. This is a very reasonable goal, we just need a few bodies out there to donate some time. For the most part they are working Friday, Saturday and Sunday every weekend. You can see more info on the chat forums here --> http://hprtireguys.yuku.com and there is a calendar here --> http://hprtireguys.yuku.com/calendar Lunch and water are provided for all workers. PLEASE lend a hand to help YOUR track meet it's goals!! THANK YOU!!
***EDIT 12/17 There is now a chat forums specifically dedicated to organizing labor out at the track to assemble tire walls. Please check out http://hprtireguys.yuku.com/ and get signed up to help!
As of December 10th we have only completed about 12% of the amount of assembled tires that will be necessary to open the facility. PLEASE HELP!! Lunches are being provided!
***EDIT 11/18 We now have all the hardware necessary for bolting tires together so it's time to get cracking on that. From now on the tire deliveries WILL happen on Fridays at 9am, anyone who can help with those would be greatly appreciated. HOWEVER, the backbone of this whole effort will be getting bodies out there to bolt tires together. We need as many people as we can for the next several weekends.
The tire bolting work will be going on both Saturdays and Sundays, starting at 9am and going until everyone is ready to quit. Let me know when you can help out!
Please bring:
Hat, gloves, snacks, drinks and your best racing lies
Also, if you have a 3/8" electric drill (even better if it's one of the 90 degree angle drills), bring it along. Rechargeable is fine, or bring an extension cord, there will be a generator on site.
***EDIT 11/12 Starting next week the delivery trucks will be arriving on Fridays instead of Saturdays so the Saturday unloading help will not be needed. HOWEVER, by that time we should have all the hardware on site to begin bolting the tires together so we can do that on Saturdays and Sundays. I will leave the schedule as-is for now and once I know more about what days/hours they will be doing the bolting I will let everyone know and start getting more people lined up.
************************************************** ********
Over the next couple months we will be receiving truckloads of tires for tire walls at HPR. These are brand new "blem" tires, so even though they are tires it's not terribly nasty work (as it would be if they were all used :shock: ) A truckload will arrive each Saturday at approximately 9:00am and the tires need to be unloaded and sorted/stacked. Once we have most of the tires there and have amassed the hardware to bolt them together we will also begin assembling them.
Right now each of the 5 clubs needs to send 2-3 people out each Saturday to unload/sort. Last Saturday it took less than 2 hours to empty the truck and sort the tires which is all that needs to happen right now. However, soon I will need to get people together for the tire-bolting parties. More on that later.
SCCA member Ted Winning has been put in charge of this whole thing and will be on site to direct the action, all he needs is the labor. So, I need 2-3 people for each of the following Saturdays:
11/8 - Jon Kuo, Jim Pantera
11/15 - Brownie, Ara, Casey Dragos
11/22 - Mark Bohn, Peter Emsley, Tom Lily, Jon Glaefke
11/23 - Vinnie, Kip, Joe Smith
11/29 - Jim Brewer, Jim Wilson, Alex Kuretz, Chris Dale
11/30
12/6 - Tom Lilly
12/7
12/13
12/14
12/20 - Jeff Winter
12/21
12/27
12/28
Please reply here if you can help out and I will populate the list. Remember that this is OUR track and we, the members, need to work together to make a Spring opening a reality so please step up and help!!
