8-29-07- This last weekend, it was an honor to have an Old School friend help with some extra photography at the State Finals. Jeff Manning was the one helping out. The reason this was a great thing for me was, because Jeff’s Dad, Howie Manning, did something very similar to what I am doing, only it was back in the 70’s and 80’s and the lack of Internet back then never allowed for people to see all the photos he had taken. If you go to my Old School site, and go through the Photo Collections section and click on the Jeff Manning link’s you well find hundreds of great photos taken by Howie Manning. The Manning Family, traveled all over the country taking Jeff to Nationals, as well as all over the Midwest

Although Jeff never got into photography, he did a great job this weekend!

Rum River - They race into October, with MANY cool events that the community gets involved with.

Spicer - They said they may do a few on weekends, after school starts. I have talked to a few families that are planning on heading down to checkout Green Lake BMX this year. I am planning another trip there before the season is done.

St. Cloud - They move to weekends after summer is done.

412 BMX - I spoke with one of their track people at New Ulm and they are also looking at trying some weekends after summer is done. They also informed me racer numbers are UP, BIG! I was told they had 95 entries last week at a regular race night! Great news!

Rehbein’s Indoor BMX - Let us not forget, Doug and Donny are opening up again, for another Indoor Racing season! I am only guessing, but this year for them is going to be HUGE! They are re-opening in September, and have heard a few rumors of new changes to the track layout, Doug was unavailable for comment this weekend about any changes (guess he was laying on the beach somewhere this weekend...)

Racing in Minnesota year round? YOU BET! That say’s a lot about why Minnesota BMX is one of the best states that ABA has!.

7-28-07 -  Green Lake BMX Main event video CLICK HERE

7-27-07 - Another Minnesota track has been crossed off my “Gotta See” list! Green Lake BMX, Spicer. This track, like several other tracks, have been held up under a “Dark Cloud” for “way to long”. I met many of the track members tonight, heard the stories of “Past” track operators and the unfortunate events and struggles they have gone through, and cannot believe how far they have come. Everyone I spoke with is so involved with what they are doing for their community with BMX, and what they believe in. This track is TREMENDOUS! It was recently rebuilt less then 1 year ago. Checkout the photos in the gallery. Show Green Lake BMX the Minnesota BMX support, at least one time this year, and I guarantee you will want go back!

Photos below, Video of Mains up as quick as I get to them. Thanks Green Lake BMX for being part of this GREAT Sport!

7-27-07 - Above is the Web Site Stats for ATR. I thought people should be aware how much ATR has been growing, and how much traffic it is seeing. I well update this from time to time.

7-27-07 - I just arrived at Spicer! This track is AWESOME! Hopefully will have photos and maybe video posted tonight. I have been having server problems, also I should have the Dillworth video up soon as well.

7-26-07 - I am happy to say that ATR has expanded it’s area a little further! A couple of us made it up to Dillworth last night for the State Qualifier! From and Older Schooler BMXer’s view point, this track was AWESOME! I do realize it is no where close to many of the tracks in Minnesota, but it is worth people to experience the drive to Dillworth. Dick Bowman (T.O.) is one of these people who puts a lot of hard work and time into our sport, like many others.

Dillworth PHOTOS HERE

Video up later today

7-24-07 - Because of scheduling conflicts for the Mankato and Faribault Old School Meets New School series, I am needing to drop them from the schedule. This is ATR’s decision, and has nothing to do with these two tracks.

7-24-07 - Green Lake BMX has added an information and photo page The track looks great! It is only 50 miles south west of St. Cloud. I am possibly headed over there this coming Friday before the big St. Cloud weekend. Once again, let show our Minnesota support, and check out their racing!
