With all the things that are going on, this is feeling like a double post kinda day. I’m trying to spread them out as much as possible, but sometimes there’s just something you need to get off your chest.<\/p>\n

First order of business is the Auction. We’ve already had some great bids happening, but before things went to far we wanted to clear up some heat confusion and re-initialize. If you were part of that early bidding group, you should have gotten an email from me. If you haven’t yet bid, no worries! The auction should be ready to go again so get bidding!<\/p>\n

In other news, the city of Pittsburgh has been going around filling those nasty potholes around the course. With the help of the sweepstakes committee, they are making sure that every important pothole is being addressed. While the fillings haven’t been the most perfect job ever done, they’re a hell-of-a-lot better than a giant hole in the ground.<\/p>\n

These fillings will probably sag and crumble a bit as cars drive over them and Pittsburgh happens. Sweepers on Truck and Raceday should be doing a lot of extra work to mitigate any issues from these new bits of road. I’m sure many drivers (and mechanics) will be very thankful for these much needed repairs, but here’s hoping that they can figure out a plan to do it right before next year rolls around.<\/p>\n

At this point most of the fixes have been made on Frew street which has some of the most egregious, though avoidable potholes. Later this week the city should be looking at Schenley drive and fixing some of the deeper issues there. While it’s not a permanent fix, it should mean that we will see some safer turns and races come Carnival.<\/p>\n
