Sunday 02 June: Queen's Birthday Monday is the traditional opening for their Mercer Sand Track with an open practice day. Three new drop-offs feature. See www.pukemx.com for details.
Even the Mini's track has had a makeover.
Mini Track again showing the widening.
The big Komatsu can certainly shift some sand (yes, this is sand) as Scott Willis reshapes the northern-most berm. Top centre you can see one of the three new drop-offs.
At the top-right is the down-ramp of that drop-off. Note the new drain pipes at the bottom right to drain that section where water has been a constant problem.
No sooner than Tony Cooksley and I had laid these pipes ....
... than Scott Willis had buried them.
This is the down-ramp of the centre section dropoff.
The section closest to the Motorway has always been prone to flooding but no longer. The new bulldozer quickly cut a water catchment area - yes, the pipe was raised before finished!
