Work Session for '09 Track Prep
We will be having a work session this weekend, April 4/5th to recover the track and do some other maintenance around the
track. We're asking for any volunteer help willing to lend a hand to help out. Mike Hartlove will be bringing
a skid loader and we have plenty of dirt to work with. We will need plenty of hand work and maybe some extra four wheelers
or trucks to help pack the track down.
work times:
Sat 9am-4pm
Sun TBA- as needed
See you there.

March Madness
We have scheduled a 2009 Organizational meeting for HBMX. It will be held on Wed March 18 at the Police Athletic
League building (near the Cannon Ave. entrance to the Fairground)at 7 pm. Feel free to join us and offer your ideas
and support to help keep HBMX as successful as years past.
This years schedule is posted along with the MD State Points
Series Schedule. This year's State Series requirements have changed. Riders will only have to compete in 2
qualifiers and 2 locals to qualify for the MD Series and Championship. Hopefully this will encourage better attendance
