All, I know its been a tough spring but hang in there!! I know I am frustrated not being able to run the races as I too want to race too.

Some news to mark on your calender we added June 12th/13th (NEXT WEEKEND) in to the schedule to make up some of the missed races.
Let's get some sunshine and have a great Friday/Saturday of racing action.

Thanks

CR BMX, Tuesday Night racing

All, Couple of important items, Tuesday Night racing starts this week so make sure you let your BMX racing friends that are not on the list know. Of course that all depends on where the rain goes this afternoon, so check the track phone or email for updates.

For those that made it out to race our first race, thank you!! It was exciting to see all the faces ready to race, you may have also noticed the loader and piles of new dirt sitting out there. Well our resident expert, Josh Trumblee, went to work on our front straight and boy does it look fast now.
If you see him or Scott Barber make sure to say thanks for the hard work as they spent their Memorial Day working at the track.

Lets hope we miss the rain this evening and we will see you at the track!

Ewing Park BMX, Thank You

BMX Racers,

I want to Welcome everyone to the 2009 BMX season, I would like to start wIth telling everyone the exciting news of switching to ABA this year. If you currenlty have A NBL lisense that is still valid, you can contiune to race, at renewl time you will be able to sign up for the ABA Lisence.

We had our first race on Sunday May 17th and had a great turn out, we still have alittle more work to do to the track, but I want to give a BIG thanks to Dale White, Kittie Knauer, and Alex Peterson for all the time and hard work spent on helping getting the track in shape to hold the race. Also all the Members from Cedar Rapids and Council Bluffs that came and helped make our first ABA race a sucess.

We will now hold practice on Tuesday nights from 6:30 until 8:00, there will be a $2 fee.

We will NOT be racing Thursdays this year, we WILL be racing on Sundays, with new times:
Registration will be from 11:00 to 12:30, you MUST be regristered before 12:30 to be able to race, there will be no exceptions.
We will start races at 1:00.

Trophies will be given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place racers, we also have an option to use super saver stamps which you can redeem at bike shops, I will be able to tell you more detail on those stamps when I get more information.

We also changed our track name to Ewing Park BMX, we need a new logo, I would like everyone to come up with an idea and submit it to Me or Dale, we will narrow it down to a final 3 and let everyone vote for the winner. Please submit by May 31, 2009.

Lets make this year fun, if you have any suggestions, please let us know.

You may contact me by email or calling 515-285-6626.

Thank You,

Scott Conrath

Practicing tonight at CR BMX

All, We will be practicing tonight so come on out, the track is dry and dusty so if you have googles you might want to bring them. We have a few rough spots but all in all track is doing well.

Latest status on water from Parks Dept is only a few weeks away, hopefully be the time we get past the Blue Springs National we will have water back on. Work has started on the new announcing tower which is great, thanks to Bob Hodges and Dan Green for heading that project up.

See you at the track!!
