HOLY SCHMOLLY !!!

What can be said but, WOW !!! ... all of you who donated your time and effort toward the spring fix up deserve an awful lot of BMX love. Here's hoping that the devilish tire grabbing dirt monkeys will not have their way with any of those who helped (or, your little BMX racing hombres and hombrettes either) this weekend. (This is, evidentally, a curse which got me in a big way last fall at Walworth Indoor BMX.)

Track Operator John Mittelstadt said there were so many people there on Sunday that at one point that he just wasn't ablt to get everybody's name for who to thank. So, just big thanks from all of us to the Milwaukee BMX community at large for all of your support. The blisters, sore backs and tired arms are absolute appreciated.

But, it's super important to recognize that Del Sievert delivered 4 quad axle truckloads of fresh, screened clay (which rocks like chugging about six Red Bulls before jamming to a slayer song on guitar hero) and that once again Pro Electric came through with a loader for us (which is just an amazing gesture considering the cost of equipment rental -- plus, Craig picks up and delivers the beast in this era of near $4 / gallon gas prices -- which is a truly remarkable act of generosity).

T/O Mittelstadt submits the following photos after an exhausting couple of days in which our track went from "rehab" to "rehabilitated, reinvigorated and definitely ready for racing". Great stuff:

There are a few subtle changes, per track captain and super speedy 41-45 cruiser racer, Mike Froh ... the second straight is wide and ready for all out straightaway assaults, all of the turns are built back up to their original heights or are larger, the little momentum killing wedge out of the last corner (which Mike will go to his grave insisting was my bad idea) was removed and the entire first straight was capped with the good screened clay. Truth told, we just can't wait to get back on this beast ... it ought to be rolling fast.

Thanks again to all that participated ... and, here's looking forward to a fantastic 2008 racing season.
