Hi Everyone

I am hoping that you can help Supertrak spread the word that there is no Double Points Race this Thursday (Aug 12) before our National.  It is in the Calendar but unfortunately we had to cancel it and would just hate to see anyone show up early expecting to race and we don’t have even a regular race running that night.  Cass has put it on the forum but I am trying to get the word out to anyone that has missed it.  Hope to see many of you this weekend. Travel safe and Happy Racing

Nanaimo’s very own  ”A Pro” Steven Creighton came out in Saturday’s Pro Class Qualifiers by winning all three motos, much to the delight of the home crowd.  In the main, Steven controlled the race through to midway in the rhythym section, where he had California A Pro rider Thomas Vellejo closing in.  As both riders exited the last turn for the finish line it became a drag race down to the wire. With the  1000 plus spectators on their feet,  Steven’s quest for the A Pro Main Event Win was not to be….. as Thomas Vellejo got it at the line.  A great main event for the A Pro action. Vellejo  also won Sunday’s A Pro main.  Steven didn’t race Sunday as he is off to South Africa for the 2010 UCI World Championships in Pietermaritzburg that will be held from  July 29  - August 1,   Good luck Steven.  For full race results for the weekend go to   Harbour City Nationals race results.

Both Nationals had 84 motos with well over 400 riders competing each day.  Special events included the Radio Controlled 1/8 scale electric and nitro powered cars race. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 160 km/h these little power machines were rippin up the track and flying over the doubles and triples to the crowd’s delight. Thanks to Mike Mercer, Tanya and the RC gang for putting on a great show.  Our first ever National Run Bike Race (bikes without pedals) was a huge success with  the main event  winner going to 3yr. old Brody Thorogood,  Jackson Goldstone was 2nd , Tyson Cuesta was 3rd, Tana Botchar was 4th and Chantelle Strobiki finished 5th.   We also had our Pit Bike races (16 inch wheels) with the 10 under class winner Tyson Tufts  and the 11 and over winner  - Trevor Davidson (3rd consecutive year).  Time trial winners were 9 yr old  Connor Martin with a time of 44.32  in the 10 and under  and 13 yr old Baily Mchale Boulter with a time of 40.17 in the  11 and over class.  The A Pro Main Event was clocked at  32.22 sec.

After the special events on Saturday, the  Braeden Marshal band rocked the house while everyone enjoyed Nanaimo’s famous Salmon BBQ.  It was a great weekend of racing and an event that the club can be very proud of.   Thanks to the many many people that worked so hard before, during and after the event to help make the Harbour City Nationals a huge success.  And a Big thank you to all the out of town riders that travelled to the island to help make our weekend so special.  Hope you all enjoyed Nanaimo’s hospitality and will visit again.  See you in Prince George…….

The Parking lots at the BMX track are CLOSED  for general parking.   You will need to park in the adjacent parking lot accessible via the dog park entrance just south of our entrance  on Labieux road. There is a short pathway that links the track the south parking lot.

VOLUNTEERS

Thanks to all of those people who have signed up to help over the weekend.  We still have a few more spots to fill so if you can lend a hand poke your head into the motto shed and see what needs to be done.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST

There will also be a pancake breakfast on Saturday morning starting at 7:30 am until we run out of mix……Early Bird Gets the Worm……..

PIT BIKE /RUN BIKES/TIME TRAILS AND RC ELECTRIC AND GAS POWERED CAR RACES to follow Saturdays Racing

SALMON BBQ

There is the famous salmon BBQ following the racing Saturday.  $4 per adult and $2 per child 7 and Under.  All Nanaimo families are asked to bring a potluck item as this is a fundraiser for the track.  There is a signup sheet on the side of the Motto shed.

BRAEDEN MARSHAL BAND WILL BE ROCKING THE TRACK DURING THE SALMON BBQ

The track and facility is looking in tip top shape and is ready for a great week of BMX from Supercamp, Race for Life and the National weekend. On July 15th – Saturday night,(4-7pm)  Nanaimo BMX will again host our famous Potluck fundraiser/salmon BBQ.  As in the past the club will be providing fresh sockeye salmon and hamburgers, but we need Nanaimo families to bring a salad, veggie, fruit platter or dessert. This helps keep the cost down. If you don’t have time to make something, you can always just pick something up! Every little bit helps. We have a nominal cost for the dinner : $4 adults and $2 kids for kids  7 and under.  We will also have the Braedan Marshall Band playing during the BBQ which follows Saturday National Race.  It’s a great time to meet BMX families from BC, Alberta and USA, and a chance to relax and enjoy with friends family.

Hope to see all of you over the weekend. If you have any questions, see Marie Davidson, Gina Leslie or Jason Bradley on Wednesday night or email us at info@nanaimobmx.com
