The temporary membership can be converted to an annual membership for and additional $25.

Weekly Races & Fees
Entry fees for Vernon BMX races are $5. Entry fees for multi point or special races are more and vary with the type of race. Ask at the motoshed if you are unsure of the cost of a race. Awards will vary and will compliment race fees. Races are held each Tuesday with registration from 5:45-6:30 and racing at 7pm.

Pre-registration is available by calling the moto shed at 545-6990. Please arrive at the track no later than 6:45pm to pay your race fees at the motoshed. We encourage riders to get there well before 6:30 to properly warm up, do some gates and socialize with the other racers. Before and after races are as important to the kids as the race itself. This is where they work on parts of their skills and learn from the other racers, some of whom are from out of town so this is the only time they see them. Races are organized according to age groups and skill levels so everyone gets the opportunity to compete on a fair and competitive basis.
