AIS Track - A Forlorn Sight

While at Bruce/O'Connor Ridge having a sortee over the course to be used for the Vets October Handicap, and checking the padlocks on the gates to decide which keys to ask for, I decided that after the run, I would have a look at the AIS Track.

It looks very forlorn, and it was a light rainy day to make it look worse.

I estimate that lanes 3,4 and 7, 8 have been laid with new material, from about the start of the straight to about 100 metres around the track, from the finish line.

(That makes 4 lanes of about 200 metres.)

No workers were in sight since rain was forecast today, the only humans today were 2 security people and me.

There are plenty of rolls of new surface, wrapped and sitting at the western end of the track, and some spread around the track.

Hope the workers are good enough to have it completed in time for the T & F season scheduled to begin on 18th October.

Until Next Time.

Well, if it's not, at least the sprinters can race ;)
