Deseret Peak BMX news. 2-27-07

[bnd]

Now that the indoor season is officially over I think it's time to turn our attention towards Deseret Peak (Tooele) BMX.

I called Diana tonight & we had a very nice conversation. Even though she won't be involved with running the track this year, she is very excited about this upcoming summer & so is Darrin.

- Their schedule is almost set & will be posted up here as soon as it is set.

- As soon as the snow goes away & you can walk on the track without getting muddy, Darrin would like to schedule a track day to come out, clean up weeds, fill in pot holes & do anything else that needs attention. I told Diana that I would be more than happy to rally a group to help out, yeah, that means you out there reading this!

- She also said that she would be more than happy to give a "class" in how to do sign ups (I inquired). In the past there has been a few that volunteer to help out doing so, Karen Spencer & Pam Kelly come to mind but I think it would be great if some of us take it upon ourselves to get schooled in doing that task so more people are capable of helping out if the need arises. I'm in.

- Now I didn't fully ask the question but it sounds like somebody from the County is going to be trained in actually doing the signups &/or being the T.O. This is really no big deal as the track plans on having a race season this year so who actually is the T.O. is no biggie to me.

- I offered my help to give the track a makeover this year, mainly re-doing the 2nd straight & the last straights. I'd still like to see a decision maker on the last straight. Any ideas out there? Post up what you would like to see.

- It would be nice to see D.P. get volunteer help BEFORE R.C. starts on their rebuild just for the fact that once RC starts, nobody seems to want to go out to DP & help. Over the past years I remember it's been me & Darrin, or the Hardys or the Kellys, ect. That was great in itself but if DP could get just ONE good weekend to do all these things with a big group of volunteers, that track could be up & running the next weekend. Just a thought.

Anyways, I thought everyone would appreciate the news coming from Tooele, stay tuned.

This is all great news. I can't wait to take the kids out there and help get the track ready.

Give me a call when the time comes...

[Shane]

Sounds good! Post it when you have a date. I believe Mike K. did a post last year and a bunch of us went out last year and got a bunch of thing accomplished.

So what's the latest at DP?

What are the chances of racing in March/April a couple of times?

Sounds like a small group is willing to help out- who else can lend a hand?

Why haven't the Cooks posted any info. about racing this year...(Gallo is waiting to spread it to the world on the site!)

What weekends would be best to hold races out at DP?

This is the longest spell of no racing the year has...it's technically the off season.....But I'm trying to get on my bike more- I know a lot of other people would love to make this happen!

BRUCE RITTER for president of DP racing in March and April!

What do you guys think?

I still have a couple of free weekends so give me a heads up when you have a repair date. I think I can make the 10 minute drive if I am around

Hi Everyone,
No we did not forget BMX, the upcoming season or any of you!
Actually things here have been totally crazy busy!

Thanks to Bruce for posting about our last conversation and to all of you who posted our 2007 schedule.

As Bruce said we are going to have a track work day and will be doing a sign-up's class the same day, however none of that will happen till after the 1st of April... Stay tuned for the day and time....

One correction, Darrin is and will be the TO for DPBMX, the county will be training someone to take my place as the person in charge of sign-ups, but that's all.

Ok, I know there was something else I wanted to write but for now I can't remember so... Ya'll take care and we will see you soon,

Looking forward to another great year of racing at DPBMX!

Darrin and Diana Cook

Question....

...when can we come ride the track? Does the county still allow anyone to come and ride during the week?

JS

[Allen's]

Yes
Although we were out a couple weeks ago and they had the track shut down because of the snow in spots so call first. (435) 843-4000.
