MOWER WORK
We worked on mowers today along with other home chores. It was a warm day and things were moving slower due to the heat. All hopes are we will be ready to mow a bunch tomorrow. Both mowers are ready and we will be out knocking down some grass this next week. The weather does not have any rain in the forecast for at least a week. Maybe the grass will slow down its growing if it is dry for a few days.

AHEAD?
We are still looking for dirt to build a track. We have not had much luck getting any donated so far. With all the highway work around town dirt is at a premium. What the roads aren't getting the new building construction are using. A lot of building going on in a time the economy is slowing. This will change in a while.

NOT ALL OUR PERMITS YET
It seems we are still waiting for permits to get the new track started. At this rate it may be the middle of next year before things get lined out. It looks like we may be working at Trosper this weekend. We have a bunch of mowing to be done now and we missed last weekend to be in Ponca City. The land is looking much better now since we have most of it to a point where we can mow. It will be about a month or so till we have most all the trash and debris cleared which includes an old abandoned oil well site.

RAIN?
We had the clouds and during some parts of the day it looked like rain but never came. It was warm today but we have not hit 100° so far this year. We still have a few weeks till things start to change but some years the real heat comes late. Perhaps this is a year for late Summer heat. We have had a lot of rain and this is Oklahoma so it will be hot and dry.

RAIN AHEAD?
So the rain never quite made it to town and all is dry in town. All the rain stayed west and north of the City and we had another nice cool evening for the middle of July. Mother Nature had been a force again this year in our sport and has had an impact on many events this year. Will 2008 prove to be another year in which weather has a major influence on BMX events? What will happen in the last half of this year?

ALL OVER BUT THE CRYING
What a weekend in Ponca City. With rain both days and the the hard work of many people from watching the track at night to get Sign Ups done to the officials it was great. The $1000 ProAm Shootout and Race for Life make a heck of a day of racing. Sunday proved the stuff of the newest track in Oklahoma and it was all good. The economy was the least of our worries with the HOT racing going on. Gotta hand it to Sooner State BMX they pulled off a great weekend, if you didn't go you missed out big time! Now what is coming out of Ponca City next?

RAIN, SQR, PONCA CITY
Another day of rain was in store today and once again there was a delay in starting the races but things went well. Once again the timing was good, Sign ups were pushed out and races started as soon as the track was ready. The track did a great job of taking the rain and looking even better today after the rain than it did yesterday after the rain. Those folks have done an outstanding job of getting the track to shed water. With some raking and packing, wind and sunshine did the job. For their first State Qualifier there was 26 motos, not bad at all. A nice job by everyone at Sooner State BMX!
Did you see the picture in the Ponca City Sunday newspaper? A great picture of the ProAm Shootout. A look on the Sports Section front page has a nice pic of the riders coming out of the 1st turn.
To wrap up on the weekend we could not leave out a very important person who came out both days this weekend. Little Miss Alaina Lunsford of Ponca City. Saturday Alaina got a trophy which is taller than she is to show our Sport and Sooner State BMX wishes her the best in fighting Leukemia. A Credit-to-Patient blood drive on Saturday was another item for Miss Alaina. To cap it off she returned on Sunday to draw for the 50/50 and she won items both days! Keep this fighter 6 year old in your thoughts and prayers.

RAIN AND RFL TODAY
The day started out nice with a clear sky but that changed fast. About 10am the clouds had moved in and the rain was coming down. The rain was light at first but then it turned to heavy rain and just kept coming down. By noon the track was wet and we started sweeping the puddles off the track. Since Sign Ups were scheduled to close at 1pm and the rain still had not quit it was time to make a change. The track and weather was looked at very closely. Then the rain stopped and it was decided to delay races till 4pm. That was the start of a great day of racing. With 19 motos and 74 riders it was a real Race for Life, then there was 10 riders loaded up for the ProAm Shootout. If you didn't make it then you missed out big time. After an hour of working on the track the races started. The track was very smooth and fast today and there was more than BMXers winning today.
Dennison Smith handley won the ProAm Shootout and a big check for $500.

CLINIC TODAY
Well things were great in Ponca City today with the Clinic. Everyone who came out got a lot of friendly smiles, some great food and a clinic to boot. It was lots of fun and there was many more riders who came out just to watch. We can't waqit for the racing tomorrow. It looks like their may be a big turn out for the PRO AM SHOOTOUT.

RAIN
The day was cloudy and many parts of the state got a heavy shower or two day. In Midwest City it rained quite a bit, At Trosper there was moderate rain and the northwest parts of town got no rain. We also have a chance of rain most of the rest of the week. We hope rain will not effect races for the upcoming weekend.

WEB WORK
After a day at work we went to the phones for more on getting the wellhead (or as OERB prefers to call them well sites) cleaned up. We are now in line to get a survey of the site a work may begin around the first of August.
After the phone calls and emails then came the paperwork and we got a little time for working on the web site today. Some pages are getting updated to Style Sheets and reformated similar to this page of the web site.
Did you know today was an important day in BMX in the state of Oklahoma. Many may not know this but 20 years ago today Oklahoma BMX Parents Association was recognized as a 501(c)3 non-profit.

MORE CLEANUP
After a day of regular work we went to Trosper and work for a couple hours cleaning up trash and working out the weedeater. We have a few plum bushes which we will keep intact on the west of the area where the track is to be built. The west end was where we worked today and we will continue this work across the north side to clean up to prepare for the building of the track and utility work which we will need for the track.

WEB WORK
We started off to work outside today but things would not allow this. The phone started ringing and would not stop. With this in mind we stayed near the computer and there was no better time to start working on a new project on the track part of the web site. We are working with more Trosper BMX riders to get more stuff for LOOK BACK.

5th of JULY, 2008
Today we took a day off from track work and worked on personal items. It was nice to have a day off to relax and stay inside where it was cool. Time to start up the air conditioning to air it out for the Summer. Also some time was dedicated to working on other projects and plans. It seems things have slowed down on track construction. We hope things will break loose soon.

DIXON DOWN
The Dixon is down for a week or more waiting for parts. We did however hear the Yukon BMX track rebuild is complete except for the application of soil conditioner which will be applied soon. We will be very interested in the outcome of the said conditioner and how it works with the soil and track use.
Have a fun and safe 4th of July Holiday. It appears all the tracks will be closed this weekend, Track Operators and volunteers need a day off from the work of our sport.

MOWING
Today we did some mowing but without the Dixon mower as our repair did not last long and then other parts broke. The mowing was completed and now we have more parts to order for repairs.
On a lighter note:
More things are going on now and words are flying, what a concept, flying words. All the open tracks have things happening and we have none. We heard there were feelings over the review of the Sooner State Games race. One has to look inside to decide which path to take at a crossroads in life. Our path has been chosen.

WORK ON DIXON
So today we worked on lawn mowers mainly the Dixon. It seems one of the blades shafts had some problems and we hope to have it fixed till we get a new part next week. Since we have the 4th of July weekend ahead it will be a good time to be out mowing at Trosper this coming weekend. We will see how long it lasts.
