Tuesday August 28th and we are RACING !!!

Okay, yeah ... so, just writing that felt absolutely great. We're super happy to have caught a break with the weather and get a chance to get back on track tonight. Hope we see you there.

Below are some images from the way we left the track last Saturday after a pretty full day of work. Hopefully, we didn't lose too much of that progress with the rains that moved through the area yesterday.


The first corner has been "worked" ... it may be rolling as smooth as it has all season. It's starting to become obvious that we've lost some berm height, so look for a major update on this turn in October.


Second turn (above) was similarly raked and rolled ... it was a big mess when we arrived ... the rain from last week had left it nearly unrideable and completely full of ruts.



A project that I've been meaning to get at for the past several months -- putting a cap on the first roller out of the second turn. I'm sure Denise (Mrs. O') would only be too stoked if things around the house would only bug me for a couple of months before they got done -- it's more accurately like a few years.


DO NOT let the fact that John and Mark are holding rakes fool you ... it was really little Garrett Kluth that did most of the work on Saturday. Shame about all the rain we had last week ... Saturday turned out to be such a perfect day. And, few things are more depressing than a soft / soggy BMX track that can't be ridden.
