Yesterday I went up there with my Dad to do some work on my start...  apparently the mowers thought it would be a good idea to mow the entirety of 3/4 (despite the lack of vegetation) as the ENTIRETY of those turns are covered in mulch, debris, thorns etc.  didn't even bother riding or sweeping as its probably a good 30-45 minute job.  Its definitely the worst I've ever seen it.  If anyone arrives at the track and finds it in this condition DO NOT ride it unless you want flats.

Extra time to clear it will be needed this week, and if anyone could bring out a blower that would be a huge help.  I will be out there around 4 to sweep.

I wondering if we could contact someone about not mowing around the tops?  Although, Im guessing it probably won't help.
Q: Do you really sprint with such reckless abandon that you need straps?
A: Yes.

I'll do an extra heavy pass with the weed killer.  If there is absolutely nothing growing there, maybe they'll leave it alone.  How do they even get a mower *up*  there?

I try to get up there a couple of hours early just for prep which includes sweeping. Looks like I'll need to be there a little earlier today. I do have extra brooms and I offer $5.00 off from the registration fee for a measly 15 minutes of sweeping and I have a watch that runs fast to time by. I'm thinking of getting more brooms and perusing the blowers.

I have another idea about the city mowers. I have some blank sign material and we can make some polite request signs and attach them to the fence in a few places. Ah, more things to pack for the track.

It is just a little bit harder to get in trouble.........
