Race Day Sponsor: Grindstone Landscaping
This week’s race is being sponsored by Grindstone Landscaping. Since the inception of the business in 2003 they have quickly become the choice of many satisfied customers who have transformed their homes into a show place that they can enjoy with their family and friends.
From start to finish they work with their customers to design and build a landscape or pool complete with all the landscaping that will be something they can enjoy for many years and be the envy of all their neighbours. They look after all aspects of the projects including any structures such as pergola’s, gazebo’s and outdoor kitchen’s that are part of the project. They look after hiring and managing all of the sub-trades required to get projects completed on time, and take great pride in ensuring that all of the equipment they need to complete the project is the best available.
The quality of their work speaks for itself. They have grown the business since its inception through word of mouth alone. All of their new business comes from referrals from past customers. If you would like to find out how Jay Linde and his team of residential Landscaping and Pool builders can transform your home into the show piece you have always wanted they can be reached by calling 905.638.1511 or by email at [email protected]
The club would like to thank Jay and his family for their generous support and wish them well in their rookie season with the club.

Rules Reminders
Safety in the Pits
The club strives to ensure that everyone has a safe and fun race day. For this reason the club has a zero tolerance for any violations of the rules in Section 5 “Pit Rules”. In no specific order over the next couple of newsletters we will touch on some of the rules. The pits, and grid area are Restricted areas and as such are impacted by all rules that apply to Control of Restricted Areas.
Rule 5.4 deals with Fire Safety. There is no open flame derives to be used in the pit or grid area. Smoking and vaping are prohibited in the grid, scales, and infield areas. No fuels or lubricants or other hazardous substance shall be disposed of in the controlled restricted areas. The club will have fire extinguishers situated around the track. All club members and visitors are required to have their own ABC type fire extinguisher in their pit area.
Driving of karts in the pits will not be tolerated. All karts must be walked through the restricted areas include it the pits, and scale area. The only time karts can be driven in the pits is after being directed to do so by the grid marshal (when be being sent to the track for the start of a session) and at the end of a session from the track exit to the scale area. Failure to comply with this rule will result in disqualification, which is not droppable.
Refuelling Clause 5.8: Karts are to be refuelled in the pit area only. During refuelling engines must be off, and the driver can’t be seated in the kart. Karts can’t be refuelled on the grid or in the scale area.
