Title: Please Read! Racing Location Change
Post by: briankstan on October 09, 2010, 07:57:43 PM
I have been informed by Doug that he isn't renewing his lease on the warehouse.   Their work has slowed due to the economy so changes need to be made.

Here is the the situation,  We will no longer be able to race in the warehouse after November 30.   this means that we will need to remove all of our track, jumps, etc. by the 30th.    If we can't come up with a suitable location we will have to race in my basement on a smaller track until we find another solution.

If you have any ideas please post them here.   Kind of sucks but we have been in this situation before and we'll just deal with it and move on.

I wanted to publicly thank Doug for allowing us to use the warehouse,  it was greatly appreciated and a wonderful location while it lasted.   We are all wishing you good luck with you business and understand your decision in these difficult times.

Thanks for being a great member of Salt Lake Mini-Z.   One of our most valuable even though you don't actually participate in the racing with us.

yep Russ is right.  If you have any other ideas.   if not we will in a a garage or my basement this winter,  this means tight area and small track.   Hopefully we can figure something out.

I like the Lehi idea!  I finally put a new chassis on my MR-02 last night.

So, is the endurance race on 11/18 the last one to be held at the warehouse?  Dang!  I can't make it, even though I think my car is back up to running spec.  I have special showing tickets for Harry Potter that night.
