Eagles Canyon Rock Party, Saturday Feb 21st

I just got this email -

Texas Region’s first Club Race weekend at Eagles Canyon will be held in late March.

However, before we can race at ECR we are going to have a WORK DAY ROCK PARTY to clean up certain areas of the new track of the small rocks that have been exposed during the initial track construction and natural erosion. This will be a great chance to come out and see Eagles Canyon, have some fun and do a little volunteer work. ECR will be providing Pizza and Drinks for Lunch and Beer once our work is completed. Please bring a 5 gallon bucket and some work gloves if you have them, if not, we will have extras.

Here are the details below from Mike Tlanda. Please mark your calendar and we will see you there and thank you for volunteering. Robey Clark, TX Region Club Race Chair


* Date: Saturday / February 21, 2009

* Place: Eagles Canyon Raceway
7629 N. FM 51
Decatur, TX 76234

If you have a pick-up truck that can haul rocks or a trailer that you can bring that can haul rocks, please let me know.

Otherwise, just come out and join us for a "rock party". (Work clothes and gloves are recommended)

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Yay unpaid manual labor

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun.

Is free track time included in this deal at all or just free pizza and beer?

Yeah, it seems like they'd get a bigger response if the offered even a few free laps as "compensation" for all the manual labor...

I guess they figure that if we're used to picking up cones...

What are double SRO points? Is this credit toward track time? SRO is Standing Room Only but I don't think it applies here.

Straight out of P.T. Barnum's manual...

I'm havin a weed party later this year.::hippi::

This will be a great chance to come out and see my yard, have some fun and do a little volunteer work. I will be providing Pizza and Drinks for Lunch and Beer once our work is completed. Please bring a 5 gallon bucket and some work gloves if you have them, if not, we will have extras.

Okay, I laughed at that one. :mrgreen:

I wouldn't mind helping out picking up some rocks. I drive ECR a lot and anything I can do to lessen the risk of damage to my car if it goes off is all good. It would also be a good chance to do a track walk and see the runoffs at walking pace instead of when I'm spinning backwards in a cloud of dust!

BTW, is this for SCCA?

Lets see - - - You want me to pick up rocks all day long so I can drink for free at the end of the day. ARE YOU PEOPLE NUTS!!

this is like how they ignore your email for a month, then tell you that "junior membership" ended last week?

So there's a difference between nuts and balls...

Nuts is when you come home stinking drunk and reeking of perfume, crawl into bed, and when your wife says "Hmmmph!" you exclaim "Baby! It was just a party. I didn't do anything!"

Balls, on the other hand... is when you come home stinking drunk and reeking of perfume, crawl into bed, and when your wife says "Hmmph!" you slap her on the ass and exclaim "You're next, fatty!"

I think they're leaning toward balls...

"Hmmph!" is not something my wife would say under those circumstances.

Fixed it... :rolleyes:

Give the local Police Dept free track time for training. In return prisoners clean up the rocks to make the track safe for the officers.

lol

Anyone going to this tomorrow and what the heck is double SRO points?

Special Rockpickers Olympics. This is just a regional qualifier. If you can eat the pizza without burning yourself, you get to move on to the next round. Don't forget your helmet.
