| The trip to Desoto |
|
Up at 5am to get the equipment loaded and the car ready for the trip. With a drive
of about 225 miles ahead we needed to get started early to make it in time for the
Practice sessions which started at 11:45am on Friday morning. The drive was for the most part uneventful until we entered Denton which had some traffic slow downs. On into the Dallas area saw more slow downs and congestion into Downtown Dallas with its maze of exits, highways and 'lost drivers'. After navigating the Downtown area on south to DeSoto which is about 15 miles south of Downtown Dallas. The skies looked like rain and the temperature was a little on the warm side with south winds that helped keep the temp down to a nice range. |
| The METROPLEX BMX track |
|
The Metroplex BMX track is located in a city park which is somewhat isolated in DeSoto
Texas. With its covered track it is ideal for racing in most any weather condition. The
track surface is very well taken care of and it shows. Another track we have been to
which should make some smiles when people rave about the track surface conditions. With
the dedicated staff at Metroplex and the ABA staff things happened on a smooth even pace
all weekend. Toni's Pizza was there just giving FREE sample pizza all weekend long. There were other vendors present which included a BBQ with some mouth watering items and of course a selection of bike parts and accessories rider accessories and Official ABA items. And who could pass by a steaming HOT fresh ear of Corn on the Cobb. With FOX Sports camera crews there Sunday it was High Energy BMX racing. We certainly hope this TV coverage continues to grow and get this sport in the NEWS. Parking at the track was a pleasant experience with weekend rates of $20 for reserved parking in a very nice parking area where many camped the weekend. The weather looked as if rain was about to fall we only had 2 or 3 showers all weekend. With pockets of clear sky Sunday there were a few times when it got a little warm but for the most part the weather was good to say the least. |

| Saturday Race | |
|
Saturday started later due to technical problems getting the lights on in the arena.
It seems nobody had the key to open the electrical box to turn on the lights and with
practice sessions starting at 6:30am it was quite dark without lights. NOTE:It should be noted that 1 rider from Sooner Pearl is not listed due to an injury during an early moto Saturday. Cody Freels broke an arm today in the same place on the track that he broke his other arm last year at the Super Nationals. |

| Sunday race | |
|
Sunday we had partly cloudy skies with a little rise in the temps. The weather was
very nice for a great day of racing. The FOX camera crews were all around the track
showing video for the upcoming FOX Sports broadcasts later this year. Very competitive racing all day with many very good riders. Our riders came away with a great performance in DeSoto this year. The Super Nationals this year was high performance ABA BMX racing and we look forward to going back next year! |
