Carr Fire Update & Meeting Tuesday, August 21st

Our next meeting is on Tuesday August 21st at Players Pizza in Anderson.  Social hour 6pm – 7pm, meeting starts at 7pm.

The Fairgrounds let us know last week that our August date is dependent on the availability of the facility, which is currently being used as a fire camp for fire and utility crews.  The infield, track, pits, spectator lot, and north dirt lot are all in use.  The entrance road off of 273 (Lassen Dr / Gary Cressey Blvd) is now an ‘Exit’ only and there was a constant stream of vehicles when I stopped by yesterday to check things out.

It was awesome to see so many messages thanking the fire crews – they ring the main Fairgrounds parking area and pit area fences – but I really doubt things will have wound down enough in the next 10 days to allow us safe access to all the areas we use for our events.  I will try to get an update from the Fairgrounds prior to Tuesday’s meeting, and am ordering the insurance certificate so we will be ready to race on the 26th if we can.  Stay tuned for updates!
