Only a few days away!

Unbelievably, we are only a few days away from the February races and it looks to be an amazing weekend. We were so pleased and thankful for the great turnout from our first race and we are really looking forward to this weekend's races. We learned a few things from the first races and have decided to make a couple of adjustments to things based on what we learned. The most significant change will be running open practices by age group. We feel that this will be much safer for everyone and should open things up a bit as riders will be practicing with those closer in age and skill. Don't worry, we will be running plenty of practices and everyone will have tons of track time.

We will again be holding a potluck dinner after Saturday nights race and this potluck theme is "anything goes". Got a great recipe for Swedish meatballs? Bring em' on out. We will keep the track open after the races and during the dinner for additional practice time as well.

Sunday's race is the first double-point Colorado State Championship qualifier of the 2010 season. For those that are going after that State Champ number plate, this is your chance to get a points jump on the competition. We will begin building the track at 2pm on Friday afternoon and would love some able volunteers to help out. Volunteers, please bring your own rake and shovels if at all possible. As an incentive, we will be bringing pizza for all the hard working folks that help out. See you Friday!

As always, it is really helpful if racers pre-register. You can easily pre-register through this simple form. If you have a friend, family member, co-worker, etc. that has ever thought about checking out BMX racing, the indoor series is a great place to start. We will again be offering new racers a free one day ABA membership (normally $45.00) to give them the opportunity to experience our great sport. This race series is also a great chance for those crazy MTBers to get out and race in a different format. MTB riders are always welcome at CIBMX!

Finally, we couldn't end this message without recognizing all the great sponsors that have helped make this races series a successful reality. Please to a second to visit the sponsor page and support those that have supported all of us by keeping them in mind the next time you need one of their services. Thanks again to all for the AMAZING support!
