We encourage those who are new to the sport come join us for one or all of our races (and please, bring your friends!). Spectators are encouraged to come enjoy the races as well!

Our races are NWBHA District 1 co-sanctioned, giving NWBHA members the opportunity to qualify for NWBHA State Finals and earn District 1 points without leaving the island!
