Weekend Success

We had a great four days of fun filled racing this past weekend. Mother Nature gave us a scare on Sunday with the early morning rain but track was sealed and covered so when the rain ended around 11 am - we were ready to start our practice times with racing immediately following. Special thanks to Greg and Jeremy for getting to the track early to make sure that the tarps were doing their job before the rain started. We were lucky to not get the heavy downpours and high winds.

Our first annual "Dads That Don't Race" race on Friday night during our Race for Life Event was a huge success. We had 16 Dads strutting their stuff trying to win the awesome trophies specially designed for this event by Eric Nelson. We had Semis this year, aiming for Quarter Finals next year. Being the oldest rider didn't stop me. I came in 5th place in the Main and still was able to go to work the next day. I'm not sure how all the other Dads did but it looked like everyone of them had a great time. We raised an additional $80 for the Leukemia Foundation with this race - Our grand total for the day was over $1500. Thanks to all who participated and donated. Special thanks to Tyler Horn who raised over $500 in donations.

Despite the heat, we had a great turnout for Saturday and Sunday. Lots of action - good, fast racing with many close finishes. It gave our scoring gals - oops, I mean scoring volunteers a good workout (Sorry Dean!).

We need to acknowledge all our great workers and volunteers who helped make this weekend run smoothly. Thanks to all who had specific duties to handle and take care of and to all the ones who just stepped in whenever they noticed help was needed. Your efforts were noticed and greatly appreciated - to all the concession workers, garage helpers, tarp installers and removers, sealer appliers, announcers, registration personnel, t-shirt & 50/50 sellers (Caroline we can't wait to see what costume you come up with next doing 50/50), groundskeepers......the list goes on and on. To all of you - THANK YOU! We could of not done it without you.

Special thanks to Troy and Kristen for taking pictures during the whole week and weekend's events - check them out on our website at our Photo Link - under CWBMX snapshots.

We saw many familiar faces during the weekend - riders and families - and a lot of new faces. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves - we sure did. We look forward to seeing you all again at any of our upcoming races, especially the State Championship Finals in September.
