The Fun Begins

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post, so I thought it was time for an update. Most things are coming along smoothly. We had planned to have the concrete down for our showroom/office this week but we are still waiting on some steel arriving so that has been put back a week or so. But it means that track work has become the prime focus. Earlier in the week we purchased a loader/backhoe from Range Equipment. We originally were going to buy and articulated loader, but after seeing a JCB backhoe skillfully sculpt to most awesome berm at the Northam BMX track, we realised that a backhoe would be much more versatile.

Like I said everything else is working out well. We will be meeting with the shire soon to discuss a few things, like septic system requirements and the kiosk design, so they will meet Health Department regulations properly. All in all a very satisfying couple of weeks. I’ll keep you posted.In the mean time, Stay Safe and Stay Dirty.

Building Big!

Hi Mud-lovers, well some of you will have some mud, I’ve heard some places have had as much as 75mm of rain. We haven’t been quite so ‘fortunate’, with only about 3mm. Over the weekend I obtained the use of a 950 Cat wheel loader, which made short work clearing and levelling of the showroom site. So in the middle of the dust and rain that blew up yesterday, Steve and myself have pegged out most of the track area, and the office, showroom, kiosk and bike service buildings. Hopefully we’ll have the pad poured sometime next week, and construction of the building can start. Also we will finish roughing out the first three circuits, we are searching for a loader for track maintenance at the moment, the 950 is a bit cumbersome for shaping a good lip on the jumps. Here’s a couple of pic’s of the showroom site.

Stay safe and Stay dirty.
