Show Local BMX races end The Park City BMX (bicycle motocross) track north of City Park is no more. The track has been leveled and the parcel is up for sale. The track was built two years ago and weekly bicycle races were organized by the Recreation Department. The races were well attended but according to Recreation Department Director Steve Haugen they were a huge drain on the department's staff. Although there were up to 200 participants in the weekly motos, a survey revealed that less than 20 of the youngsters involved in-volved were from Park City. Last summer the city leased the rights to the track to a race organizer from Provo who assumed responsibility respon-sibility for the Saturday race series. The Recreation Department organized a locals only series on Thursday nights. This summer there will be no organized BMX races in Park City, Haugen said. |
