We are pleased to advise that with the direction of the Board and Officers, we are moving forward with several
track improvement projects.  This week we received four new foam barriers to protect the ends of the
straight-away.   We will no longer need to move barriers based on race and practice direction.  Repairs have
been made to the septic system, and five new power flush toilets have been installed.  This was a major
upgrade and will be functional for Sunday’s Spring Race 3.  The contract has been approved for re-grading
of the area between the Club House and first pit runner, the area between runners and between the second
runner and property line.  The grading will include installation of drainage, compaction of the area and a new
surface.  The metal shed and well pump house will be removed to allow better access and more parking. 
This work will begin on Monday, March 8.   A new aluminum bleacher system has been ordered and will be
installed as part of the grading process.  The new state of the art bleacher will seat 90 people and is properly
fitted with guard rails.  We came in under budget for this work and plan to start the process of installing a
bleacher cover, once everything is in place.  We have also been reviewing several proposals regarding
electrical.  We will receive an electrician prepared cost estimate for major electrical renovation on Monday. 
All of this work is planned for completion by Spring Race 4.

If you have not been behind the scenes in the Club House and Control Tower, check out the new furniture,
the tower workstation and computer hardware.  GCKI is on the move, renovating and upgrading the track for
the enjoyment of the members and their families.
