Riders Ready !!!

NEW RIDER CLINIC A SUCCESS:
Yee-haw - we were able to hold a mock 5 moto race with the 25 new riders who attended the Milwaukee BMX new riders clinic Saturday. Thanks to all who helped make the day a complete success.

Photos and a more detailed report are coming soon.

SCHEDULE CHANGE:
The practice scheduled for this Thursday (May 24) is cancelled.

BLOW IT OUT YOUR ...
Milwaukee BMX has a brand spankin' new portable compressor. It's a pretty rugged Sanborn 20 gallon 6 peak horse, twin cylinder belt drive jobbie that, according to Aubrey Zabojnik, who runs Get a Gate in Texas, should be an almost ideal device for running our gate for many years to come. We didn't run the thing on Saturday because we were afraid we'd be tripping the circuit every time the thing started. It won't be a problem as soon as the dedicated boxes are installed on the hill.

Tim,

We're about a week behind on getting the electrical boxes installed trackside. We hoped they'd be in by the time we ran the new rider clinic ... but, alas ... no dice. We managed to make due on extension cords, but even the underpowered compressor that we were using was straining to get enough electricity through the extension cord.

That said ... Crystal Ridge's electrician and Craig at Pro Electric have connected (something punny about that) and Craig is going to do the boxes very soon.

We'll have two dedicated 20 amp circuits ... and a spankin' new 20 gallon, twin cylinder, belt driven air compressor when we run our first practice next Thursday - May 31st.

Sounds good! It would've been tough at the track today anyways with all this wind.

See you next Thursday,

Tim
