On Saturday, January 10th, one of our own - Ken "Grumpy Guy" Nork had a serious wreck as he raced in the second round of the 41-45 Cruiser class at the Silver Dollar National in Reno, Nevada.  He suffered a broken neck and back.  His injuries are extremely critical and the recovery process will be a long and difficult one.   Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated for Ken and his family - wife Lisa, and children Kendall, Kenny & Kaila.  He is a beloved member of the Steel Wheels Family.  There are several fundraisers being planned...  a special fund is being established to aid the family during Ken's recovery...updates of Ken's progress are being made through Facebook   on the "STAY STRONG KEN NORK" page and on this website.  Your prayers are needed and appreciated.

 This program is brought to you by the Northwest Indiana BMX Association,  an all volunteer non-profit organization whose goal is to provide amateur athletic competition in the form of BMX racing, practice, and clinics.  We are family friendly and endeavor to provide an environment in which the whole family can enjoy and take part in the sport of BMX.

Come out and join the fun!  We are volunteer-powered and can always use help: running the gate, monitoring the track, taking registrations, running concessions, announcing, officiating, track and building maintenance, taking pictures/video, etc.

We are sanctioned with the AMERICAN BICYCLE ASSOCIATION and operate two separate tracks in Northwest Indiana so there is practice and racing YEAR ROUND!
