BMX Double Race @ Can-Am's Track on Saturday, August 28th

Due to all the race, we have decided to have a double race on Saturday, August 28th.  We are also having a local band out at the track that evening.  The band's name is SEDRAH and are out of Lapeer, Michigan.  They were recommended by some of our riders and are willing to donate their time to come out to Can-Am and play.  We are asking for a $1 donation minimum admission which we will donate half of the money to the St. Clair County Child Abuse & Neglect Council and the other half will go to Can-Am.  The money will be presented during Roof-Sit on behalf of Can-Am BMX riders.  This is a great organization and all the money stays in St. Clair County to help abused children.  Their motto is: "It shouldn't hurt to be a kid"  Please join us for this very important event and feel free to invite all your friends, neighbors, and family to try to help us support our local band, SEDRAH, abused children in St. Clair County who need help, and our BMX track.  For more information on the St. Clair County Child Abuse & Neglect Council (CANN Council) visit:  www.sccstopchildabuse.org  

Trophy buy back.....

Do you have trophies at home collecting dust?  Are you looking to sell them back to the track?  We are looking for good condition and clean trophies to buy back.  We will pay $2 per trophy in cash or BMX tokens that can be spent like cash at our concessions booth.  This program really helps out the track so we are able to give more than just the top three race winners a trophy.  Please consider selling or donating your trophies back to the track for future riders and we seem to be growing our younger age group at this time.  The "trophy" is very important to the new and young riders at our track and we would like to give all the riders a trophy if we can.

 Can you help us?

Can-Am has been broken into again!
They stole our spare track bikes, our brand new 2-way radios, and many other items.  Please let us know if you hear of any tips on these theives.  We are unable to replace the stolen items due to financial reasons so we will just have to do the best we can for the rest of the year.  The items were not insured.  Hopefully, we will catch the theives and recover our items with the help of our riders keeping their eyes and ears open for any leads.
