Funding is still been worked through for the new safety fence, we received $4k from the FNDC which was used to buy some of the the poles now erected.

Pubs Charity have also granted us $10k which was used for more poles and fencing materials

March 2008, we have receive a grant from the ASB Community for the amount of $24k which will enable us to complete

ALL the work on the safety fencing around the track, this will be used for the concrete, and fencing materials

March 2008; we have also received $10k from Pub Charity to go towards

our "Burn Out Pad" this is going to be 30x30 meter square.

A sub committee headed by Ray Jordan has taken charge of this project.

 All going well we should have most of the fencing completed by Easter 2008

& the rest will follow over the off season;

the burn out pad (all going well) will be up a running by August 2008

 - see you at the track!

15th March 08 - more poles have been obtained, the guys have been hard at work over the weekend getting these in .......

the track has been harrowed ready for Easter - many  thanks to Murray Rodgers

Easter 2008 has been and gone for another year ........March/April Fencing Continues.......

May 2008 Ray Jordan (project manager for the burnout pad) & crew have done the levels;

Stu Hutton has been in and prepared the area ready for the boxing and fill.

 We have had a long wet winter this year (2008) since we finished racing in April/May we have not been able to get heavy machinery needed to complete this project on to the track, everything has been so wet, we have had to be patient and wait for the weather to clear before we could continue.
