Winter race being re-schedule again.
If you have been watching our post on the track Facebook page, you would have noticed that the volunteers and I have chose to re-schedule this Sundays Winter race ( 1-14-18). There hasn't been a decision yet as to what date, but, it's likely we will move it out into the month of February. Maybe by then the sub-zero temps will have run their course and allow for us to race without getting frost bite on our toes. Not sure if anyone else has raced outdoors during the wi...

We just want to make sure that our gate ram doesn't freeze up and nobody walks away with frostbite. Unless your going to wear Iceman boots to race in, the feet...

Transforming first straight jump and changes at RPBMX
This past week, track supporter Mike Flynn was able to get Richfield Park BMX a Bobcat that allowed us to proceed with making changes on the track surface in a much shorter time frame than simply using picks, shovels, and rakes. In a matter or four days, about 60% of the jump that was referred to as Mt. Richfield was brought down. What is left will be enough to shape a good sized step table to flow into the first turn. Racers had informed us in previous years how the straigh...
