PLEASE READ Saturday, June 27, Nicole Bennett lost her camera. It was a black Cannon in a black leather case.  Nicole is Jeremiah Ippolitto's mother. His grandmother is the one who brings him out to the track for gate practice and some of the races. She is in the hospital and the pictures on the camera are the only way she is able to see him race. If anyone has seen this camera, or has heard of someone finding one at the track, please give Nicole a call.  Her number is 423-504-3215. She is offering a reward for the return of the camera.

You know racing is in your blood when you will travel 12 hours to Rockford just for the experience of riding on their track. What a world-class group of people they have up there! Here's a list of those who made the journey. If I have left your name off, please let me know. Blake Gerholdt, Brad Lewis, Cody Johnson, Nick Wright, Jordan Wright, Terry Trew, Nathan Trew, Cindy Veach, Austin Veach, Candice Jenkins, Riley Jenkins, and a few of our "local" Georgia riders--Daniel and Andrew Sperano, Matt McBride, Jason Waters, Tori Merritt, Kyle Kruysman, and Jeff and Chandler Denton!!! It makes the long drive worth it when you can hang with people you know. Congratulations to all who went.  Just from the sidelines, I could tell it was a tough track to be on.

Considering we had so many riders in Delaware, I think 19 motos was a really great turnout for our Race for Life. After receiving our last minute donations, we raised a total of $1877!!! Bradley BMX will add another $123 to the total to make it $2000 going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Thank you so much for your hard work you put into this. We are very proud to be a part of such a wonderful group of people.
