The snow is finally gone and racing action is just around the corner. Our opening date is May 17th, pending weather. We will start track work probably next week. Look for minor track changes and , as always, volunteers are needed to help. I'll post times when we'll be working on the track.
We also need help distributing posters and flyers about our track to any places where youth gather. We have a beginners clinic scheduled for May 21st at 10am. The cost is $15. There will be another clinic in August also.
We also are putting together a jersey order for all Buffalo Creek BMX riders. Contact me with sizes. They will be $40 each, and entitle the rider to participate on the track team. The State race series has been enhanced with a team series and Pro-Am racing action.
We are also looking for businesses to sponsor races for as little as $50. Contact me for further details about this great opportunity to highlight your business!
Lastly, we have a booth this Saturday at the Hutchinson Family Fun Expo at the McLeod County Fairgrounds from 8am-4pm. Volunteers are needed to help answer questions at the booth and promote the sport of BMX. We also have informational classes on BMX at the Hutchinson Middle School on May 4th & 12th at 7pm. Sign up at Community Ed to learn more.
Our next board meeting will be held at Ryan's office on April 19th at 8pm. Call Ryan for directions.

Thank you to all who were able to help over the week-end! We were able to get the track tuned up and glued! The track is closed until tonight to allow time for curing. Ongoing improvement are scheduled this week in preparation of our State Qualifier this week-end. Racing is scheduled for Tuesday with Sam's tire as the sponsor. The novice clinic is set for Friday at 4pm, with gate practice to follow at 6pm.

Unless it rains between now and 7pm, races will be held tonight. Any additional help is welcome this afternoon to prepare the track for racing. Thanks for your patience with the recent rain cancellations and limited availability of the track due to wet conditions.

Ryan

Due to yet another day of rain, today's race and clinic are canceled. The next beginners clinic is scheduled for Friday June 25th from 4-6pm, with gate practice to follow. We will also host a vintage swap meet that evening and into the next day with our State Qualifier.
Our Race for Life was canceled last Tuesday, and we will postpone the event until a new date in July. We will reschedule the Glencoe Leadership race for the same event. This also allows a little more time to raise donations for the charity.
Next weekend will be our major track work week-end with hopes of being able to fine tune the track, re-roll and compact the surface and apply the Soil-tac surface treatment. Lunch and refreshments will be provided for all volunteers.
Monday night will also be a track maintenance night, as the recent rains have affected most parts of the track. Hopefully we will avoid rain and get a race in on Tuesday.I will post at 3pm on Tuesday......

Ryan

Due to the wet conditions, our Race for Life is again canceled. We will re-schedule for next Tuesday, allowing a little more time to collect contributions for the RFL fundraiser. One of our riders has collected over $200 so far! The top fundraiser will receive an award the night of the Race for Life.
Saturday is our Novice Clinic from 4-6pm. We'll have registration and gate practice from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Racing will be at 7pm. The cost for the clinic is $15, which includes racing fees. The feature race is our "Glencoe Leadership Race" around 8pm. Saturday night will be a regular single points race event.
The asphalt finish line is scheduled for Friday. We will also need volunteers on Saturday and Sunday, June 19th & 20th to do track work and install the Soil-tac surface. Lunch will be provided.

Ryan

Tonight's Race for Life is canceled. We will try to reschedule for next Tuesday. Due to the rain we will likely need to tune -up a few spots on the track on Monday night. The new Buffalo Creek number plates are in and will be available at the track in the concessions area next week. We also have posters available for distribution to help promote the track in popular youth gathering areas.
The delay of the Race for Life will give additional time to raise donations for the L&L Society. Please bring envelopes with contributions to the race next week. Our goal is raise over $1000 for the event. See you next week!

Ryan

Racing looks like a go! The track needs a little tune up after recent rains, so if you can come a little early and help a little it would be appreciated! See you tonight!

Tonight is our Season Opener! We look forward to another exciting racing season! See you tonight!

Finally we have nice weather! Tomorrow will be a track work day from 9am to 4pm. We have a roller rented and a lot of finish hand raking to accomplish so we can get the track packed in. Lunch will be provided for all volunteers.

Ryan

Today we will work on drainage areas between the lanes. This is mostly hand raking work. We will also do some final shaping to obstacles. Volunteers are welcome from 1-4pm or so. Sunday we will do 4-wheeler dragging and packing. Next week-end we will be gluing if the compaction and weather co-operate.
Please pick-up race for life packets and information at the track. We have purchased a Arctic Cat 4 wheeler for track maintenance. True Value Fleet Supply has contributed some equipment and supplies. WM Mueller and Sons will supply the hot-mix asphalt for our new finish line as a donation, and Maguire paving will do the install at a substantial discount. Dales Plumbing and Heating has completed the concessions and rest room plumbing and is recognized as a gold level sponsor to the building renovation project. Lange Electric is scheduled to do the electrical rough in this week. Please support the businesses that support our track and recommend them to others in need of these services. A complete list of sponsors will be posted at the track.

Today is looking too wet for track work. We will reschedule for next week-end. WE will need a lot of help!

Ryan

Today the track was too wet to work on. Tomorrow we will try to continue track improvements at 10am to 4pm. I am still negotiating the use or purchase of the 4 wheeler for track maintenance. The rough placement of the new "QUAD" has been built. Sunday we will be working on the berms, rock removal, and drainage issues.

Ryan

The spring has been fantastic and we are ready to do minor track changes and prepare the surface for soil tac treatment. April 24th & 25th are full track maintenance work days. We will have lunch for those willing to pitch in and help at the track. Our scheduled opening race is May 18th! I also have all the Race For Life information for the racers to work at gathering donations for this worthy cause. The RFL is sponsored by GRHS, who have given $200 towards the event. Our Glencoe Invitational and State race will be sponsored by First MN Bank.
Please plan to help out next week-end with the track. There are tasks for all to be involved!

Ryan

Hello Everyone,
We have been meeting as a board to organize the 2010 Race Season. We will be meeting soon to go over fund raising and racing details. We were at the Hutch Sports Show and will staff a booth at the upcoming Hutch Business Expo. There is talk of a team sponsored by Outdoor Motion. We are considering a pancake breakfast as a fund raiser this spring. I will post the details of the next board meeting soon. We will also be doing web updates also.
