New Airport Security Cards
 
Attention SMKA Club Members, the Airport is issuing new FFA approved Airport Gate cards to all personnel who need access to Airport grounds.  All current primary club members will have to get new Airport Gate cards.  Forms will be mailed out to all current primary members ASAP which will contain several pieces of paper.  Please be sure to read each piece very carefully.  The end result of this new process is everyone will turn in their current security card in exchange for a new FFA approved photo id card.
 
All current Airport Gate cards will expire this Monday, August 31st without exception.  After each member processes their paperwork with the airport, it is expected to take 2 - 5 days to receive the new card to regain access to the Airport.
 
We understand this provides for an inconvenience to the members, however this is required and non-negotiable in order for the Airport to keep up with higher FFA security standards.

__________________________________________

Race Workers Needed
 
SMKA is looking for your help.  Volunteers are needed to work as flaggers, scale workers, etc. for the once a month club races.  If you enjoy racing, you cannot get closer to the action than being a race worker!  This is not limited to club members, though members are strongly encouraged to partici­pate.  If you would like to volunteer for the club, please contact the club at TBD or info@smka.orgWorker requsts must be submitted the Sunday prior to the scheduled SMKA race day.

__________________________________________

Track Storage Availble
 
Rental spaces will be available for SMKA members w/ Sea Train Containers to store their karts, tools, equipment, etc.  Rental spaces for Sea Train Containers of 20' or less will be available for $50/month.  The member must provide the Sea Train Container and the transportation of Container to track.
