KC Area BMX Message Board

OK, the plans are to race indoors again this winter. But, If we don't have the support like we had last season, I don't want to waste our efforts or our money.

We realize the track is located further from KC then most would like. Trust me, I drive an hour to get there. We don't have an option to relocate this season.

Questions

#1 Will you plan to race indoors for the winter season.
#2 Last years race days were Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. Are there any better times or days that would make for better turnouts?
#3 Cost for racing was $15. Is that too high? remember, we have rent, utilities, etc. to pay that outdoor tracks don't have to pay.
#4 The dust was not a factor after the open house, any other factors that kept you from returning?
#5 Our race season will run from November to April. Is that season too long? Too short?

Please respond here, or email me at dak007@earthlink.com and give me your thoughts, ideas, and good or bad feedback.

I will plan to race at least one day a weekend at the indoor just like last year... No 15 buxs is not too much... I would look at racing until May... 90% of the time the outdoor tracks cant get open due to rain... I will help out when im there...

We hope to make it this winter. Last winter 1 of our 4 kids were sick almost all winter. So we missed the whole indoor season. I can't say that we would be able to go every weekend. With the track being an hour away I think the weekend is the best time for us. I don't think 15 is exactly to high but hard when you have more than 1 racer. Jenna and Tyler look forward to racing there this winter.

Thanks,

Popes

Everything works for us. We will help out as much as possible.

McVickers will race on saturday nights again, usually to far to go pratice.

we will be there I will help you again this year

Woodalls plan to race once a week probably Sunday afternoons. $15 OK but maybe the $5/cruiser charge when already signed up for class. Would appreciate a practice night on weeks before a national like Oklahoma or Texas etc.

We will probably take month of Dec off from racing but will be willing to help whenever needed.

Thanks.

#1 Yes, we plan to race this winter
#2 Sat Evening and Sun Afternoon works for us, makes for good options, weekday does not work.
#3 $15 is fine
#4 ummm the smell isn't great
#5 Nov - April we'll race outdoors whenever we can in Nov and April, Dec is tough with a lot of family activities, so for us Jan - Mar would be fine.

Braydon and i will be there most weekends on saturday at least. I will make an attempt to come and help a couple times as well. Price is fine because we understand your expense and i appreciate you setting it up for us to ride during the cold months.

Shyanne will try to be there at least once during weeekend Nope 15.00 Is a good price considering all the expenses incurred. And ya I would say thru till May only cause the darn MO, KS weather.

You know we will be there again!! From Nov - Apr...both days every weekend since I am doing sign-ups and scoring again!! LOL I think all in all everything that was set up last year was great! I agree with Justine...maybe a price break for riders doing class and cruiser? And definitely practice before any nationals!! For any that didn't come out last year...make sure to make a trip out this winter!! The track might be small, but it is awesome! The Morrow family put a lot of work into this. I can tell you first hand when we took Clayton to Desoto last March, he did way better than if we just sat on our butts all winter long!

We will be there most weekends mainly Saturday. $15.00 is not to high. We did not start racing until May of this year, but I think everyone involved with the Blue Springs and Raytown tracks do an excellent job. I am sure indoor racing will be a great time.

I doubt I could keep Ty away.

We will be there at least one day a week and probably 2 most of the time. We are certain that Quinn benefited greatly from starting at that track this winter.

We'll be there at least once a week.
