Racing is on for today...there are a few damp spots, but Scott Hamilton is working on them as we speak. If you have any treats for the end of the day draw, you can drop them off at the registration booth.

See you there!

THANK YOU **THANK YOU ***THANK YOU!!!

Thanks so much to everyone yesterday and today who put in such a huge effort to get our track back in shape for racing today!! All of our racers had an excellent day!!!

CLINIC NIGHTS

Clinic nights will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting this week. They will run from 7:00 p.m. til 8:00 p.m. If you are able to attend both or only one night that is fine. Please check the website or your email to see if they are cancelled. It has now started to rain again, and unfortunately has undone all of the amazing work that was accomplished today!!!

RIDING THE TRACK

Anyone may ride the track, whether they are a member or not, but they are asked to respect the track and other riders. Please do not ride the track when it is wet.

Also, please ride the track in the proper direction. Do not cross the track, as this may result in an accident with other riders who are on the track.

***Updated Saturday June 7, 2008.

We are hoping to have races go on tomorrow..Sunday, June 8...depending of course on the weather. The track is in fairly rough shape today, and Steve and Tom are going to start to repair it tomorrow about 9 a.m. If anyone wishes to join them that would be great! We are hopeful that we can get the track in shape, but the start of the races may be delayed slightly. I will email everyone tomorrow morning to let you know if we are not racing. If there is any more rain between now and then it is unlikely that we will be able to get the track ready. Please check your email and the webpage before coming to the track.

Thanks...Sue

**Updated Saturday, May 31, 2008.

I hope everyone has received their email tonight to let you know that we have cancelled the races for Sunday June 1, due to the large amount of water on the track. We hope to have Tuesday night's clinic go on as usual at 7:00 but it will also depend on the weather. Please check your email or the website to check if the clinic will be held or not. Please remember that it is very important that riders not ride on the track when it is wet. It creates huge ruts in the track once it dries, and takes a lot of volunteer time and work to get the track back into shape. If you have not received an email please email me at sue.mc@bmts.com to let me know and I will check my files.

I am hoping to put the points on the Stats page tonight which will reflect the results of last Sunday's racing. If you notice any errors or omissions, please contact me.
