143.0. "BMX Races - Where? When?" by JOKUR::BOICE (Jim @LJO1 Standards and Methods Control) Tue Sep 02 1986 10:15

    Does anyone know where and when kid's BMX races are held in the 
    Boston area (western suburbs, preferably)?  We gave our son a bike
    for his birthday and he's itching to see what happens.

    	There is a place in Northborough on Rte #20, I think its called,
    "Everymans' Bike shop", or something like that.  They have a track
    out back and there seems to be some action there most saturdays.
    Try Worcester yellow pages for a bicycle shop with a name something
    like this, then call for a schedule.

    There's also a track in Hopkinton, I've ridden by it several times.
    I don't know who runs it or what.

143.3Hopkinton BMX TrackJOKUR::BOICEJim @LJO1 Standards and Methods ControlWed Sep 03 1986 16:5110
    .1  Thanks for the Northboro lead.  I'll check it out.
    
    .2  I just heard about the Hopkinton track today.  The Framingham 
        YMCA owns it, but only uses it for their summer camp program.  I
        spoke to a Kevin Quinn from the Y this morning.  He said
        anyone is welcome to ride there.  It's on Clinton Street off
        of East Main street.

    Thanks, Jim

    I know there is a lot of active BMX racing in the area.  Several
    people I have met at BRC in Newton, MA started out in BMX, and talked
    about those races.
    
    I don't personally know the names of additional contacts, but I'm
    sure they are there.  Did you check the Friday "What's Happening"
    section in the Boston Globe?
