Well looks like we will be getting a later start then or have to move to a different day.

Did anyone call to schedule it? I just assumed someone had since I was told that we were racing that day and not asked to put it on the calender. If it's not on the calender we need to add it.

Maybe a different location? I wonder if I could get approval to use the new building. Afterall there's plenty of space.

I guess not, I had assumed it was scheduled at the same time we scheduled for the 10th.

We could probably even setup in a room they don't know exists yet with how much space that place has.
But they don't like to heat that building much. If I have traction problems now with the stickiest tires I would hate to see how my car handles at 35 degrees.

The heat is on. It's no longer near freezing.

The only potential problem that I can see is the fact that there are support pillars about every 10 feet in the basement and on the first floor. We would have to setup in one of the larger rooms on the 2nd floor where the pillars are spaced farther apart. I think there's only one large room on the 2nd floor that's not being used for the youth.
I could be jumping the gun too, as I've never even hinted at wanting to use the space. I don't know what kind of response I'd get if I asked.

I know I wouldn't ask for the space, who knows how much they would want to charge me for rent.
In the basement there is a room that does not have support pillars everywhere. It is the ex-server room (not the tape room people call the server room). Not as big as the fellowship hall but everyone seems to ignore that room in the new building since it is very unfinished.
On the second floor I thought there was a large room like the youth are using but to the west that Pastor Kraig had said was a general purpose room.

Yes, there is a large room on the 2nd floor - the general purpose room. That's the one I was referring to. I'm not sure I know of the ex-server room in the basement but if it's an unfinished room perhaps they'd even allow us to leave the track setup?
As for rent, I don't know what kind of arrangement you had setup but I's be willing to ask and try to setup a deal where we could use it for free.
Maybe you could show me the ex-server room sometime? Approximately where is it in relation to the old tape room? I assume the tape room is the one with the raised floor and glass wall?

There is a big cable tray going very near the old tape room. I think it goes in there, but I'm not sure. Follow it back. It goes the the old server room.

I'll be out running a few errands this morning and may swing by there just to look for the room - or any other room on the basement level that would work for us. If there's a space in the basement that's big enough and we got approval to use it we could likely setup the track there and leave it setup inbetween GTGs.

That would be sweet. The server room is towards the middle of the basement. As Draygo said there is a large cable tray, almost looks like a wide skinny metal duct, that leads into it.
If I remember correct after you go down the stairs from the entrance we commonly use then take a right down the nearest hallway that leads north towards the tape room the server room is on the left shortly down that hall.
I just wonder if the room is as big as I remember it though.

I'll swing by there today and take a tape measure with me.

I found the server room. It's actually one of the rooms that Pastor offered me for the print shop. I decided to use the room that was previous Ameren's print shop instead since it's already wired with the proper outlets and is larger.
The server room would have a max space of 17'x28' for setting up a track (with room around it for pit tables, etc.) but someone has setup several large utility shelving units in the room. It's not usable unless we moved a lot of stuff out of the room.
However, there's a room just north of the server room, that would work. It's a finished room with several small office rooms on two ends. It has an area that would support a 20' x 30' track with even more room around it for pit tables. I highly doubt the room will be used for anything for quite some time. I can ask about using it for our club if you'd like.

That room would be tempting then. 20' x 30' makes it so we can run 2 HFAY layouts like we did for the last HFAY event. Go ahead and ask if you think they will not frown upon asking.
Of course for visitors this will make finding us harder....
