BMX NEWS AND FINALS WEEKEND INFORMATION/SCHEDULE REVISIONS
See below for Finals Weekend info, e-newsletter updates, 'on the injured list' section and much more!
ATTENTION ALL BMX RACERS!
Do not forget to pre-register for the Final weekend in Kingston on Sept 12-13. Online Pre-reg will close at midnight on WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 9TH and at Track Registration will close the same day and time! All registrations must be faxed or emailed to the OCA by Thursday at 10am.
We will then post a rider list at www.ontariocycling.org under the BMX news section, (with directions to follow if there is an error in your information). Please double check CLASS, Plate Number, Age etc. The rider list will be up for 24 hours. Then the motos will be built.
For the Sunday Provincial Championships, there are NO proficiencies. You are either CHALLENGE, CRUISER or JR/ELITE (Junior is 17-18 years old). The male Juniors and Elites will be using the pro section for both days of the final weekend. So make sure you don't register as Junior or Elite if you don't want to hit the pro jumps!
The motos for the O-Cup Finals will be posted at 11am on the Saturday. And Sundays motos will be posted by end of race day on Saturday.
If there are outstanding extenuating circumstances for you not pre-registering, you MAY be able to register at the event on Friday night between 4pm and 6pm, if the Chief Commissaire approves it. This will cost you a $25 per race extra fee (this money will be put into a Commissaire Development Fund). So make sure you pre-register!!!!

IMPORTANT E-NEWSLETTER INFORMATION
Lately, I have not been able to send out e-newsletters due to our system receiving too many bounce backs from old email addresses.
To correct this, we have introduced a "sign up" process for the BMX E-Newsletters. Please go to www.ontariocycling.org click on BMX, then BMX Index and you will see a box at the top centre of the page that says "Sign up for OCA Newsletter". Then you have to click off on the BMX newsletter on the next page. Enter the email address that you would like the E-newsletter to go to. And Voila! You will be receiving e-newsletters on a regular basis.
If you don't want to subscribe to an e-newsletter, just keep checking back under BMX news!
