Barry Peel is Crowned Champion in Briggs & Stratton Weekly Racing Series West Division!<br /> https://www.racekarts.com/GCKI-News/barry-peel-crowned-champion-in-briggs-stratton-weekly-racing-series-west-division.html
We have seen tremendous growth at our races this year. Our first three races had 68,72, and 91 race entries. 91 entries was a club record! As a result of these record participations, it is imperative that the parking and the pit space be done in an efficient manner. Please see the revised diagram showing the pit locations at the track. Each pit space is 10’ wide, and there are two spaces between the yellow posts. There should be only one pit space for each trailer, with the pitting out of the back, but not on the pit runners. Exceptions to this should only be for teams with three or more karts, then a second pit space may be used.<br /> <br /> Our Saturday practice days are almost as busy as a race day, and many leave their trailers overnight for the race on Sunday. It is important that pitting on Saturday follow the same procedures as race day, one trailer per pit space. Please pit as near to the front as possible, without taking the sponsor’s pit area. This will allow a more manageable parking for those that arrive on Sunday.<br /> <br /> Please note that the track will be closed this Friday thru Sunday for the TSRS race. No trailers are to be left on property after Thursday without permission of the race sponsor.

The cover for the grid area is coming along as scheduled. Here is a pic of the project so far! Remember the track will remain closed for the duration of the construction for safety reasons. We will post as soon as it is completed.

Please note that the track will be closed for construction of the new building over the hot pit area starting next Thursday March 24th. <br /> <br /> The building material is expected to be delivered next Thursday the 24th. Due to the nature of the construction and for safety reasons, the track will be closed from the 24th until construction is completed. It is expected to take two to three weeks to complete. We will post notice when the opening is near.<br /> <br /> Thank you,<br /> Paul Jones<br /> GCKI President

With the 2016 Race season well underway and record membership in hand, we are starting to see significant turnout on some of our practice days. We sometimes have as many on a practice day as a full race day. That being said, it is appropriate we review what should be appropriate procedures on these busy days.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, safety is the number one concern. No activity or procedure should not be done on these days that would not be allowed on a full race day. Those include:<br /> <br /> Practice days are for members only<br /> All race gear needs to be on while on the track, including neck braces<br /> No spectators on the track, karts only<br /> No kart stands or recovery while karts are on the track<br /> No fueling in the grid area (it will destroy the asphalt)<br /> No mixing of inappropriate classes<br /> Be considerate of the time on the track, particularly when there are large groups<br /> Make sure everyone knows what the group make up and order is (this is your club, let’sall help run it)<br /> No speeding in the hot grid area<br /> No driving karts on the pit runners<br /> Keep the place clean, please empty the trash to the dumpster<br /> <br /> If we all make the effort to be courteous and help each other, we will all have a great day at the track.
