[Burt Munro]

Not much in the way of updates on their website.  Would be nice to hear how the improvements are progressing.

I stand corrected...... update as of 9/28/05 on improvements:

Trackaddix has a Track Day scheduled for Oct 17th.
Their site leads you to believe that date may be 'iffy'.

The October trackaddix day will not happen due to the fact the track will not be ready.  I guess we will all just have to wait.......... :( :(

As of 9/28 it does not seem that all the asphalt work has been completed.

From the track website: http://www.hpt.com/ns/newsdetail.cfm?NID=103

"We were really hoping for the test weekend, but all the rain we've been getting has affected the paving schedule," said Raymond Irwin, Heartland Park Topeka owner.  "Even if all the asphalt was in, the curbing and some other safety features would need to be installed, and there just isn't enough time to get everything completed in a safe, proper, and first class manner."

Note it says even if all the asphalt was in. This is in reference to thhe road course. The drag strip area is completed. It could be that earlier in the year the drag stip was done and now they are working on the road course.

Hey Gang,

TRACK NOT READY
---------------
I'm afraid I have some disappointing news.  I spoke with the management of HPT recently and they WILL NOT be able to re-open the road course for the rest of the season.  All the rain they have been getting has put the project behind schedule.  They are looking at getting the re-paving done by the end of October, but then the concrete work for curbing, etc will take another 5 weeks to complete.  BUMMER!!!!  

MOVE TO MAM
-----------
Some good news for those of you needing that one last track fix to hold you over before winter sets in, we are considering moving this event up to Mid America Motorplex.  Everything will remain the same, except that we will run 2 sessions instead of 3.  If you would be interested in attending this event, please email dean@trackaddix.com so that we can get a feel for the numbers.  We have to make a decision on this very quickly, so if you can attend the MAM event let us know as soon as possible.  If we get enough interest to cover our costs, then we will do it.

REFUNDS FOR HPT
---------------
If you have pre-registered for the Heartland Park event, you have 2 choices.  We will move your registration to the MAM event if you would like to attend that one instead, OR we will issue you a complete refund in the form of a check.  Just email us with your desire and be patient with us for your refund checks.  Kim will get them in the mail as quickly as she can, but remember we work "real" jobs too in addition to operating TrackAddix.

FREQUENT RIDER PROGRAM
----------------------
We have been doing some re-evaluating of our Frequent Rider Program considering the number of cancelled events this season.  With Heartland Park being shut down for most of the year we have not been able to hold as many events as we originally planned.  HINT! HINT! If you have attended 4 of our events at regular price thus far, you might want to think about attending our last event at MAM.  Qualifed events include:  The New Racers' School, The New Riders' School, The Track Orientation School, Advanced Riders' School, and both session or no session track day events.  Non-Qualified events include:  "Try the Track", Racer Only Practices, or events you have attended under some kind of free or discount program.
