A big hand goes out to Kyle Oswald and his crew for running a great facility and continuing to carry the South Dakota BMX torch for many years. You can tell the dedication and care that has gone into that track/organization and to bring in such a big local following of riders and families.  The Pro Race was awesome! The Upper Midwest has some FAST RIDERS!

SD State Finals PHOTOS HERE (500 Photos)

Before anyone orders photos from this weekend, wait until later Monday, because I’ll have some special offers up. Hold tight!

Great job Aberdeen! And thanks for inviting everyone out for a fun weekend!
__________________________________________________________________________________

On a side note (My own 2 cents here)  - I was amazed at a small handful of riders and families that continue to take this sport a little to serious. Some of you need to take a break! When I see someone yelling at their “5 year old” telling him he didn’t do good, and this is costing way to much money if he isn’t going to take is serious. Come on! HE’S A LITTLE KID!

Or the riders that are out to “Take another rider out” What??? You racers can’t win fair and square?

PARENTS - Stay out of your kids business! When I see parents out arguing and making a public scene, It just makes me sick! You are not only looking like a fool in public, but maybe stop and think about your own children and what an embarrassment you are to them and this sport. Go back to you tent, mellow out, throw things around, kick a chair. DO WHATEVER IT IS YOU NEED TO DO, but do it in private! Better yet, find a sport that allows that! BMX is meant to be a fun family sport.

PARENTS/ALCOHOL AT THE RACES - Why can’t people wait until the day is done? When the last race is over, go celebrate, go relax, kick back and hangout with friends and have a beer then!  This is a “family/public sport” If you want to drink beer during some sporting event, go watch a Nascar race. THIS IS A KIDS SPORT, for the most part, and what image are people giving off to the kids and the public that stops by to check it out?

PLEASE SEND YOUR HATE MAIL HERE ATR@AllTheRacing.com, I have no problem hearing any explanation as to why all this is good for our sport, and your own kids.

Faribault -  As usually it is always a great and relaxing time  there. Everything went smoothly and racing was great! Thank’s Juvland’s & the rest of the helpers/Staff! It’s nice to see families step up to the plate and pitch in when help is short.

Glencoe - Now, this place was as far from what I have heard and seen photo’s of. You drive in to town, AND THERE IT IS! It sit’s “In TOWN!” A lot of thought and work work has gone into making this happen. Ryan Voss and Wade Drew have worked hard with others to make this happen, Great job people!

8-15-08 - Saturday Faribault - Glencoe - The drive between the two events may seem a bit complicated, but not bad! There is several different ways to get there. Quint (Faribault BMX) on the other hand, has a different way, that he can share with you at the Faribault race. Be sure to set aside at least 1 hour for Quint to explain his directions though! : )

Glencoe has also confirmed that they well be doing pre-registration at Faribault.

The trip from Glencoe to Mankato’s Sunday race is not quite as bad.

Saturday's new rider clinic was booming with 25 new ABA members signing up. Most of the new riders made there way back for Sunday's race with a total of 89 entries making up 21 motos. In the past, Brainerd hosted some of the largest rider counts in the state, averaging over 120 weekly. After relocating and starting well into the summer last season, entries dipped to only 50-60 on a weekly basis. Now, with the track in near perfect condition and most of the off track facilites complete, there is a lot of excitement as the new outdoor season begins to unfold.

Brainerd will be racing again next Sunday at 1pm before shifting to Tuesday nights on June 3. Free weekly practice begins this Thursday at 6pm.

I emailed everybody that gave on the ATR site but some emails would not go through for some reason. I hope everybody that reads this knows how much we thank you.

This one goes out to all the people that give of there time at the barn. We thank you, to everybody that came out on the 4th to show support and to take part in the racing and other things, we thank you. As most of you know I did most of my racing in the great states of Colorado and Utah. I’m still getting to know most of the Minnesota riders and finding out how cool all of you are. I’m looking forward to getting to know more of you as time goes by. Summer is just about here so let’s all have a fun and a safe racing season.

Thanks again ...Russ and Nancy
P.S. JT I hope you are ok. That was a bad fall.
