Hey folks,

As you may or may not know, Dave Hull with the help of others at AMP do a LOT of work in the AMP Back 40 to make it passable for rallycross. I know some people have found it pretty rough in the past but Dave has spent many hours of his own time to make it smoother than ever including removing brush allowing the use of parts of the Back 40 we haven't had access to in years!

The side effect of this work, however, is the churning up of a bunch of new loose Nova Scotia granite and other geological features that need to be cleaned out before we can send anyone out for some sideways fun! As you can imagine this particularly needs to be done before the ground freezes!

Dave estimates that a half dozen people can get the job done in just a couple of hours, so lets step up! We currently only have two lots for our RallyCross series, so lets make sure they're both as usable as they can be so we can have lots of fun!

The first event of the season takes place November 10th at AMP and November 9th is the ASCC Kenetcook Confusion TSD rally, so how about we aim for the morning of Sunday, November 3rd? If we hit it early we can be done in plenty of time to enjoy our weekend and get everything ready for the fun the weekend after!

I am willing to lend a hand for this cause. I have a Kubota mini backhoe/loader that I can bring out if you think it can be of use for this work party.

I haven't seen the area since the JCM but I think what's there to be cleaned up is already the results of work with power equipment, not sure if more should be required. I'll leave Dave to clear that up though.

Thanks for the offer, though!

Don't forget this is coming up Sunday! More hands makes for faster work!

Bring boots, gloves and maybe some rain gear from the looks of it. We'll get the Back 40 ready for Sideways in no time at all!
