Sunny skies greeted 42 eager BMX racers from Coal Hills BMX and out of town racers from Victoria BMX and Oceanside BMX in Qualicum as they got their 2012 season underway.
A partial track rebuild was done by the great volunteers and they were loved by the racers. Racing got underway with seven Half trackers ages from 3-5 started the Coal Hills season off with great racing then it was on to the girls, cruisers and boys taking their turns on the track.
Anyone interested in BMX racing is encouraged to come and give it a whirl. “We practise every Monday night at 6 p.m. for both Half trackers and Full trackers so come out and give it a try,” a Coal Hills spokesperson said.
“BMX racing will be a part of the upcoming Summer Olympics in London, England and it is a fast-paced family sport. If you have any question about our facility please feel free to call Mike Wiebe at 250-336-8382 or Tony Henderson 250-400-1816 and we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Our youngest riders are three and the oldest is in his 30s so no matter the age you can come and have fun.”
