4/13/07 MESSAGE FROM THE OVKA BOARD & PRESIDENT Welcome to Spring (at least it should be). We wanted to post a note and keep everyone informed on this weekend’s events. The Driving School for tomorrow, Saturday April 14 is still on as scheduled with limited track time due to ever changing weather conditions. This means instruction only! More details will be delivered at the track. But, The Driving School is still on as scheduled, starting at 12noon. Karting 101 on Sunday April 15 is still on as scheduled with limited track time due to ever changing weather conditions. This means instruction only! With new and old drivers and their crew, this day will be VERY important. There is a lot to go over and learn in Karting 101 to make your race day run in a smooth fashion. Everyone will learn how each OVKA race day is directed, and this is always a great time for questions. To all new crews members, please do not feel that this is a waste of time if the weather does not let your driver take to the track. There is much to learn and cover off the track, so don’t miss this great opportunity. So again Karting 101 is still on as scheduled, gates open at 7am and class starts at 9am. We look forward in seeing everyone at the track. Please (Note) you will not take to the track, if the track is wet.
