Invitation to race Bmx, old, new, novice, wannabee


Recommended Posts

Posted

 

Next races are 25th of October and 1st of November.

 

Race meet on the 1st Nov is to celebrate Cycle Fusions 4th birthday. Kevin has donated a Shimano DXR crankset ( RRP R4500 odd ) as the main prize for the Elite class. Plans are afoot for lucky draw prizes from local business in the area.

 

Plan is to maybe also to give Moms and Dads a chance to wobble around ( not race ) the track to show the kids we remember how to ride a single speed bikeWink

 

Photos of the track are here....   https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=31488&PN=1

 

Info below is copied from older posts.

 

 

The Chapel track in Weltevreden Park is a feeder track for the bigger tracks in Gauteng.

 

Feeder

track in that it has only 6 starting gates, the starting hill is not as

high, the jumps are rideable for for the 4 yr old lighties and the

track is only 260 mtrs odd long.

 

My lighties ( 8 and 6 )started

riding the track this year after we sold all our quad bikes and I am

amazed at the improvement in bike control, sportsmanship and bonding

that has taken place.

 

The Chapel is on the grounds of a church ( The Chapel ChurchWink

) and as such is run and owned by the church. Kevin from Cycle Fusion

just down the road has really worked hard to get racing going for the

kids in this area.

 

Back to the feeder part..... Some of the

tracks in Gauteng are just too far for some parents ( petrol and time

), and possibly the size of the tracks and the jumps are just too much

for some of the kids. Around about 30 of the kids have graduated to

racing at Alrode, Germies etc.

 

Track is ideal for all and Sundry

on PnP specials, heavy BMX trick bikes, racing snakes lightweights and

MTB for the older boys and lunatic fathers.

 

Next race is

next Saturday the 25th of October and 1 Novemeber. Registration from 8 to 9.30 am. Racing

should kick of at 10am and is normally finished by 1pm

 ( depending on numbers ). Format is 3 heats and a final. If numbers are small for the class, then 3 heats and the final count for overall places.

 

R10/20 entry fee, number boards available with small deposit.

 

No

trick foot pegs on bikes and at the very least helmet is required. Long

pants and shirt are good.... Mine ride with motocross pants, helmet etc.

 

Track is on church grounds so try and leave the beer for afterwards in the pub down the road.

 

The atmosphere is very relaxed, very informal and fun, fun, fun.

 

So

after this long spiel, lets see many, many Dads and Moms who are not

sure what to do with the kids in the north/west to come and try out the

track. The track has a Skate park ( Metal half pipes, etc ) as well.

 

Dads and big brothers are welcome to try the lunatic class...

 

Ages from 4 yrs up get a class. Enough kids and the classes are split into novice and expert.

 

Track

is open for practice from 2pm to 5 pm Wednesdays and Fridays, and 10am

to 4 pm on Saturdays. R10 entry fee. Small shop on site for snacks.
