These results should be consistent with GCKI’s competition rules – That is, it is a best 5 races out of 7 series. You must have competed in at least 4 races to qualify for a year-end trophy. The dark highlighted 1st, 2nd and 3rd , where applicable, represent the trophies that will be awarded at the year-end banquet. These tallies shall remain unofficial until the end of December at which point no further changes will be made and trophies will be ordered for the banquet.

Saturday, July 11, was a members meeting and track work day. There was a light turnout of members, but with determination and lots of teamwork, the work got done in near 100 degree temperatures. The work day was primarily scheduled to prepare for the SWRC that will be held this coming weekend, as well as to make overall improvements to your club. When you see the new pillow barriers, leveled ground, new flag stand, signs, general clubhouse cleaning, and many other improvements, you can personally thank those people listed below who put in their time and energy to complete the jobs that needed to be done. They were: Ashley Bartos, John Bartos, Zach Berger, Scott Boone, Bill Choice, Will Choice, Mike Hewitt, Max Hewitt, Paul Jones, Bryan Joplin, Jan Joplin, Gary Kincade, KJ Kreiter, David McKee and Brian Traw. Thanks for your hard work – the track looks great!

Race Course Direction Change

Written by Bill Choice
Monday, 13 July 2009 23:17
It was agreed to during the July 11th member's meeting that we will change up the racing direction during the fall series. The first race, the SWRC and all Odd-Numbered races will be conducted in the traditional CLOCKWISE direction. Beginning with the race after SWRC, Fall Race 2 - we will conduct all even numbered races in the COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction. We will update the race schedule accordingly. We plan to purchase two signs that will be hung on the fence to alert people practicing what the direction for the next racing event shall be - so that there is minimal conflict and confusion for those who show up to the track on practice days. Fall Race 1 - 7/12/09 - CLOCKWISE SWRC Races 7&8 - 7/25 & 26/09 - CLOCKWISE Fall Race 2 - 8/9/09 - COUNTER CLOCKWISE Fall Race 3 - 9/20/09 - CLOCKWISE Fall Race 4- 10/04/09 - COUNTER CLOCKWISE Fall Race 5- 10/18/09 - CLOCKWISE Fall Race 6 - 11/1/09 - COUNTER CLOCKWISE Fall Race 7 - 11/15/09 - CLOCKWISE Direction On Practice Days Course direction for practice will change immediately afer an event & practice direction will be the same as the upcoming event. Please practice in the direction of the upcoming event on practice days to keep practice safe for everyone, thank you for your cooperation.

The long-awaited GCKI Mechanics Shirts, Polo shirts, T-shirts, hats & aprons are now available !!! When decide what items you want, email me: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with the following details: Your name and phone number; item #, quantity & size (if applicable) of each item you wish to purchase. The order will be placed on July 2nd, so time is of the essence. I will order extra hats and aprons, however, if you want shirts, please let me know prior to July 1st so it gets on the order, as it's difficult to order extra sizes for everyone and then have the wrong sizes sitting in inventory. Payment will be due when items are picked up. Item price is total price, tax included. We are hoping to have these items by the July 12th race, but that might not be possible with our suppliers lead time. We will have them before the SWRC race and would encourage all of you to wear them during that weekend. If you have questions, please email me and I will do my best to answer them quickly. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE and your timeliness in ordering. Click to view the Sizing Chart
