6-11-2007 The Baja SAE, Rochester World Challenge
sponsored by R.I.T. was held at Hogback Hill this last weekend and was a
huge success! There were 141 schools competing from as far away as South
Africa and South America. I received several compliments from people who
were very impressed with our facility. There was excellent news coverage
and I believe our own Pete Phillips did a short interview with a local
news station. WXXI is doing a 1 hour documentary which follows one of the
teams from start to the final race at Hogback Hill! No word yet on when it
will be televised. Take a look at the article from Sunday's Democrat & Chronicle. Here's
some pictures of the event!
5-23-07 The first MX
race on the NEW Pee-Wee track gets rave reviews! The kids who raced

independently of the MX track. Take a look at race day pictures!
5-3-07 We are looking
to borrow old PRA pictures, movies and other historical PRA memorabilia we
can use to tell the story of Palmyra Racing Association. We hope to get
enough material to create a video, documenting the history of the club. So
dig out those old photo's, home movies and pictures of your PRA MX friends
with funny 70's haircuts, open face helmets and lamb chop sideburns. Send
your submissions to Jay
Bond.
4-23-07 Spring is
finally here! It's hard to believe there's only 3 weeks until our first

Monday, May 7, at the pavilion at 7:00pm. Here's some pictures of the
track for your enjoyment from Saturday 4/21.
3/26/07 We had a nice
turnout for our first workday. We accomplished quite a bit including
rebuilding/painting/staining the new pee-wee bleachers and some work on
the shed. The food was great! We had 80 dozen clams, barbeque chicken,
hotdogs and hamburgers. Here's a few pictures

and Saturday was a great start. If the track conditions Sunday are any
indication were in for a great year of riding. I would personally like to
thank a few people for there help in making the return of the clam bake a
huge success: Ben and Donna Barry for their clamming expertise, Skip Niles
the fastest man on a grill and Eric Zinter for his superior skills with a
shopping cart. Take a moment and check out the pictures
provided by Jay Bond.
