This is also from Rich’s site and shows how it works.

It has been discussed big time on the NBL side. ABA is supposed to implement something also. That should be interesting.
LeadSled1MemberCool on food being available!
Is anyone coming over from the area by chip-n-dales? I need to pick up a chain and can pay Andy over the phone if you will bring it with you to the track.
Thanks,

You will get:
Riders ready
Watch the lights
and then after a random time delay the lights and horns will start.

LeadSled1MemberOn a crazy downhill track like E-ville the advantage of clips is less due to the slope of the track. But, Mr. T. would be even faster if he did clip and use them correctly. It just happens at that track, and in that class he doesn’t need them to win. I would love if they banned them for all. But until they do I will clip in.
LeadSled1MemberBITD Wooden Wheels donated 20 CW bikes and Dyno helmets to the YMCA in center city Wilmington. They would bring two big vans down to the track on Wednesday nights. One full of kids and the other full of bikes. I would go out Wednesdays and help the kids with learning to ride (some couldn’t even ride a bike on the street when we started). These kids were all “high risk” but really took to the riding.
The next progression is to get BMX racing into the schools. We did this in my school with LaCrosse. We started our own club and two years later it was a fully sponsored school sport. Now look at LaCrosse today. It is in a lot of High Schools and College.
Look at all the other school sports that are triving. (Soccor, Baseball, Football, Basketball) They all have a feeder program from the pee wee and little leagues. In turn this gives the pee wee/little league players somewhere to progress to. High School athletics, then on to College.

I thought you were married? 😆 (Sorry ladies, had too!)
LeadSled1MemberToo bad there are no scratch and sniff monitors. We could have also played “guess that smell”. 😆 We will have to strictly monitor Bill’s food ingestion in Athens.
No Wendy foo yo.
LeadSled1MemberAlready starting on the plans for Athens. 😉
LeadSled1MemberLOL, you brought the drinks but forgot the bottle! When I was checking out the maid saw the tanguerey bottle and gave me a funny look. We asked Habib if he was glad we were leaving and with a blank stare he said “yes”. 😆 I had a lot of fun this past weekend.
LeadSled1MemberI believe the contract is binding on the physical track and not the group or organization that is running it. If you change the group name it is still a binding contract on that track, at that location. If you build another track in a location next to the one you already have you can make it another sanction.
LeadSled1MemberHey man, I have had shingles too. It is a dormant piece in the spinal nerves from when you had chicken pox. I got mine from when my son had his chicken pox vacination in Florida. It triggered my reaction. Never had it before that. Make sure you inform the family from now on that if anyone has the pox or is getting a vacination that they do not come around you for a while as you can have another episode.
Take it easy bro,
JessLeadSled1MemberThanks! If it wasn’t one of the few ABA nationals out east I would be at EHT too.
LeadSled1MemberKeep the higher junior bars. The mini rise bars will put too much of his weight over the front end, especially if the frame is long. I have a Crupi 0 degree offset stem on JDs bike but I have been thinking of moving him to a conventional stem as he has been growing and is jumping pretty hard now. You can try it out and see if it helps his stance on the bike. JD is running the junior bars btw with the no cross bar.
