TRACK COMPLETED
Well it is all over now as far a track building goes anyway. The track has
been completed and is ready for racing action. It is a good looking track
and one with a few twists here and there for good measure. Coming out of
gate you have a good distance to build up some speed for the step-up then
a small double into the 1st turn. Out of the 1st turn you have a step-up,
double, triple and then the 2nd turn. Coming out of the 2nd turn is where
the track splits and the PRO's go left, amateurs go right. Thats where we
have some fun and the last turn is a twin turn with the PRO's turning
inside the amateurs turn. Check out the pictures on the lay-out of the rest
of the track. It looks great and is nice and smooth and packed. The track
crew did a great job of mixing it up this year.
There will a large venue of vendors, used BMX items and other items for
sale. Pro Gate will be there to show of their wares as well.
Sooner Pearl will be selling 50/50 tickets at the races, this is a good way
to help show your support the local tracks which co-sponsor this event.
WEATHER
Our ever changing weather looks to be good this weekend and this may change
a little but should be fairly close.

Now for some pictures of the track and some of the people who built the
track and some who were there just to get a first ride on the track. To bad
for us the ABA folks wouldn't allow them to ride much until tomorrow. Most
of us left the track about 7:15pm and that was after the track was finished
and had a good watering just before everyone left for the evening. All the
banners are up and things look great.
Now those pictures......
