Many of you have asked how you can help restore Kauai Raceway Park after the hurricane. Now’s the time!
We’ve removed sand that was over 4 feet deep in some areas, but there’s much more to do.
We need volunteers to help wash the track, clear sand and debris, and clean up the return
road, hot pits, and turnouts.
Bring your helping hands, shovels, blowers, and brooms. Equipment and water trucks are also needed.
Many hands make light work! Let’s come together and get our track ready to race again.
Mahalo for your support!
Aloha GIRA Members & Friends,
The Board met with a focus on the plans for restoring Kauai Raceway Park. Here's a quick update:
Kip Furugen is taking the lead on cleanup and rebuilding efforts, with the full support of the Board.
Kip and Fredstan Kaluahine have already cleared a significant amount of sand that washed onto the top end of the track. Mahalo for getting us started!
Kip and his team will assess the condition of the track, turnouts, and return road.
The Board will develop a prioritized task list to guide our restoration efforts.
Track workdays will be scheduled in the coming weeks.
I've reached out to DLNR and the Mayor's Office to explore available resources and funding assistance.
We truly appreciate everyone's eagerness to help! There's a tremendous amount of work ahead, and it's going to take all of us working together to bring our track back to life.
Mahalo for your continued support. Together, we'll get it done!
