We are planning to race as scheduled today. Because of the rain, we can use the help of as many volunteers as can make it between 9:30 and 10 a.m.
Thanks for your help and continued interest in Milwaukee BMX ... and we'll see you trackside.
Saturday June 7th Race is ON:
Let's start this post with the hopes that our friends that join us on a weekly basis from the areas affected by the Tornado(s) that moved through the area today are all safe and sound.
The heavy weather that moved through SE Wisconsin today sure did a number on the track ... but, it's nothing that a whole lot of effort can't undo. So, if you can, please consider joining us trackside between 8 and 9 a.m. (much earlier and it may not be firm enough to work on) to fill the washouts, rake and roll the track. If we get a big enough crew of us working out there ... the chances are good that we can start at our scheduled time.
If you are coming out to race, but can't make it early ... no problem ... but, please be patient as those of us who are scrambling to get the track in racing form are all volunteers and laboring out of our love for the sport.
If we do happen to get more precipitation tonight, and the track takes further water and is just unworkable ... we'll attempt to have the race cancellation posted by 7:30 a.m. But, as things stand, we are going to attempt to run our scheduled race tomorrow.
We hope to see you there.

Hopefully it will be a good turn out since the RFL and SQ were cancelled at Hodag.
Sort of hard to imagine a big increase in our numbers because a race in Rhinelander cancelled ... but, you BMX'ers are a hardcore bunch ... nobody seems too scared of $4 / gallon gas prices for sure.
Keep your fingers crossed for continued good weather ... as warm and as windy as it was this evening, our track should dry right up in a jiffy.
I'll try to make it early to get things fixed up. haven't seen the track yet this year but I sure cant wait. Oh dang. I got to get up in 5 hours. Ben K.
Awesome! This will be my 6 yr old sons 1st race! He has been excited all week, not sure what I would have done if it was cancelled.
