Between needing a bit of a breather from the intense work so many volunteers put into making that weekend happen and the intense storms that came through creating significant damage to the entire track, and the intense heat, a bit of a break is just what we needed. This weekend is the State Qualifier and Gold Cup at Winchester BMX so we are off, but all activities will resu...

State Qualifier and Gold Cup Weekend Rescheduled
Unfortunately the weather has gotten the best of us this time. Despite the efforts of many to get the facility and the track in prime condition for the weekend, we could not overcome the significant rainfall that caused temporary flooding and extensive water damage (it was MUDDY!) and a bleak weather forecast made drying those spots impossible.
