THANK YOU!!!!

I want to say a BIG THANKS to Nikki & Craig Winkler , Marv Rozner, Logan Mccoy .Frank Edomwonyi, Phil Cly  , Tracy & Race Lee for stepping up to help  maintain the track and facilities.  With Josh injured and James having backproblems . HUGE THANKS to John & Luke Dimmitt for helping to work on the track mow , weed eat , trim trees  at the track. The city does not mow anything inside the wire to the fence to the north . That is our responsibility...If you want to help mow, weed eat , pick up trash please feel free to do anytime to help us to keep our track looking nice.  


 Concessions we have no volunteers for Friday May 30th .    Click here to sign up online to help in concessions

In an effort to allow more individuals the opportunity to watch their kids race we have put together a sign-up sheet in hopes of getting folks to volunteer at least one Friday a month in the concession stand.   When you fill in your name please include a phone number so in the event someone is unable to make it they can contact someone to trade with or get someone to take their place. .

The concession stand is a great opportunity for the track to bring in a little extra cash (which we desperately need due to all the vandalism we have encountered) and it is something that the riders and spectators enjoy.  So, please consider signing up to help one Friday a month.   By committing to volunteer once a month you are allowing other individuals to do what we all enjoy doing and that is watching our kids race.  Thanks to everyone for your help.

Sign up sheet is available in concessions stand or click here to view online schedule and sign up to help in concessions on a date of your choice:)

Rider Improvement for Thursday April 24th will be cancelled again due to the weather. If you are interested in  Thursday May 1st email kansas_bmx@cox.net or call 529-2582. Maybe weather will be nice to us?
 
Racing on  Friday 4/25 and Saturday 4/26 is subject to weather . If the rain stops, and enough sunshine to dry out the track, we can work on it to  be able race. Please check email or  track hotline  .We will need lots of help if  rain stops and track dries so we can work on it .
Call 529-2582 if you can help Friday in the day or come early to get ready to race Friday.
 
We have signed up 45 new riders ( NFM) in just 3 races. Not including renewals. WELCOME all new riders and families!!  With that many new riders signs ups will take much longer. I am sorry but this is how it has to be, there is alot of paper work involved with every NFM.  Races will not start prior to 8 PM when we have numerous NFM or  30 minutes after we close sign ups.
 
Please riders and  parents  help all new riders at moto board, staging and any area they need help.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

I have had  many questions on this clinic. So far we don't have 20 interested riders. If we get 20 by April 28th the clinic will be on May 3rd. If we don't get 20 pre paid we will have to set another date when we reach 20. Most are not comfortable paying online or mail. You can now also pay Dayna at the track ,PLEASE make checks payable to ( George Andrews). I will hold your check until day the clinic happens.
George is coming  a long ways to do this clinic for us. He is requesting pre payment , due to many will reserve a spot and them never show  . Last clinic we had this happen with 6 riders. The clinic is limited to 25 so if 6 don't show, 6 riders wont get a chance and this effects him on costs to make the long trip from Illinois. So if you are interested in this clinic contact Dayna so we can have this clinic on May 3rd.Questions you can also  call George at 815-222-2228
 
 
Call Dayna to sign up now 316-529-2582 kansas_bmx@cox.net

Subject: [Kansas_BMX] Can you help promote our track on 6-16 ???

 
 I need parents who can help do  EPBMX promotional booth to recruit new riders at Kids Health Fair  on Wednesday May 16th from 8:00 AM  -2:45 Pm at Valley Center Middle School.  Nikki Winkler , Raylee Jones and Lisa Dimmit did last year at Derby.
