Getting Started for 2011

We have had our first Board meeting of the year and have begun preparing for the upcoming season working on our schedule, sponsorships, new ideas and major purchases.

We have added two acres of additional parking. This area is located mostly on the south side of the water tower but does include additional area on the east and west sides of the tower. This area was cleared last fall. We only need to finish it off this spring. Many thanks to the School District and the City of Wisconsin Rapids for the use of this land. Special thanks to Greg McDonald for removing and clearing the stumps for us.

We are purchasing a new sound system for the track this year. It is already on order. This system is similar to the system the ABA used for the National. Now we will really be able to make some noise!

Approximately 100 yards of dirt was dropped off this fall just sitting at the track ready to make whatever changes our track crew comes up with. They have always done a great job of creating fun, challenging and exciting changes. We look forward to seeing what they will come up with for this year.

We will be running Random gates for all our races this year as we believe many tracks will be doing. We chose this option to stay consistent with what the ABA is running at all Nationals.

Thanks to all the riders who renewed their memberships with our track and to all the new members we gained this last year to help us earn the privilege of hosting the State Finals this year. We will be hosting a Double point pre-race on Saturday, September 3 and the State Finals on Sunday, September 4.

We believe we have the best group of people to work with every year helping us maintain and run a facility they are all proud of. Are you interested in joining this group, volunteering, being part of committees, helping out, etc.? We are always looking for additional people to strengthen and expand our core of members and volunteers so please contact us if you are interested @ 715-421-4521.
