We have extended the EARLY BIRD offer until Sunday 16 November. We have done this for two reasons.

1 - we had hoped to get the paper out earlier to remind people
2 - we are allowing people to register now and pay later (before Dec 31st) As long as people have registered before the 16 November they will get the discount.

We will be announcing another international Olympian to our coaching line up in the next week.  So stay tuned for that.

There are still some places left in the Coaching Super-Clinic

OK - things are really starting to get going. At the close of EARLY BIRD ENTRIES - we have 97 entries into the series with just a fraction under 8 weeks until we race.  It is time to keep focus on the PRO TEAMS' CHALLENGE.  Two teams have now completed their line ups and are in the competition.

Sean Dwight has put in a team:  ALEX CAMERON, BROCK MURRAY, TODD PASCOE and NICOLE CALLISTO (worth 1.5pts)
There is a second confirmed team - mostly from WA - Young Guns of: DARRYN GOODWIN, TRENT EVANS, GRAEME MUDD and KIRSTEN DELLAR (worth 1.5pts) ( will be great to see some of the WA crew over east again)

There are four other teams in the mix almost complete - check them out at www.xbr.com.au and have a look at who has registered for the series. 

We still have room for up to four more teams.  I think we need one from NZ and another from Qld!  Surely - all the fast riders haven't retired in Qld?   If you would like to be on a Pro Team - bounce me an email: editor@xbr.com.au or buzz me on 0412 246012

- We still have 28 places left in the coaching super-clinic
- we have now put on a bus from Melbourne to Sydney (and back again) for the Vic Crew
- no-one has officially booked a place yet at "tent City" at the Liverpool track - however it is rumoured that most of Victorians will be setting up digs there!
- Just re-iterating for some pot stirrers out there - THIS IS A BMXNSW SANCTIONED EVENT
- update entry list now on XBR website
- regular updates will be posted wherever someone will be reading

[Phil Kaye]

Not happy with the 30+ open wheel. Onlytwo of us so far  Might have to go back to 40+ as they have two heats.

[Wally]

You like playing with the old boys anyway grandpa Phil 

[griffo]

I know, phil u must have scared most of the riders off
I thought 30+ would get a few riders but most went for 14+

[Phil Kaye]

No choice, have to race 40+ now. Which is good cause I can't make it to the first race now anyway.

[griffo]

Good luck phil, might try and get there thursday back 2 work in 2 days yeah

[Wally]

Go Phil
