We are gettin' the groove on in preparation for the big racin' weekend at VMP-BMX. Tuesday's race was cool and fast on the big track and we made some great headway reclaiming the dirt from the weeds so we can ride the full width of the track with all the racers coming way down south for the TWO STATE Qualifiers we have on the slate for this weekend. Here's the scoop on the WORK DAYS: Thursday Work evening - Aug 4 5pm to dusk - Watering, rolling, weeds, grass, general cleanup - Bring your weed eaters, gloves, and other equipment you feel can be helpful - Additional grooming (Pro Set, etc.) and whatever else can get done Friday Work evening - Aug 5 5pm to dusk (or is that dawn?) - Site prep, watering, rolling, final cleanup Remember - No special qualifications are needed. If you can hold a garden hose, we have some work for you. AND...TO THE BIG EVENT (or BIG EVENTS!!)
