How much does it cost to come out and watch?

Spectators are free. It cost nothing to come out and watch the races.  We also have concession if you get hungry or thirsty.

What do I wear to race?

First off you need to be dressed appropriate.  You need to have long sleeve shirt or jacket, and long pants covering the knees. Elbow pads and knee pads with shin guards will also do.  Also no open toed shoes or crocs, we would like you to finish the day with the same amount of toes you started with.  You will also need a helmet, we suggest a closed face helmet, but the open faced ones will work.

Do I need a special bike?

Almost any bike will do, but first you may need to make some modifications.  Start by removing the chain guard, reflector, kickstand, and any wheel pegs.  Also you want to make sure that there is no metal sticking out of the hand grips.  Most younger riders start on bike with 20" wheels.

How much is an ABA Membership?

To ride at an ABA sanctioned track you need to have an ABA membership.  You can ride for one day without a membership but after that you will need to purchase a membership.  There are three types of membership:

First we told you about the free one day membership

Second is a thirty day membership, this is a trial membership and cost 25$.  You can then transfer to a year long membership.

Third is a one year membership.  If you purchased a thirty day membership you can purchase a one year membership for 20$.  The cost is 45$ a years.  You will start receiving the BMXer Magazine in about a month after signing up, this fee also covers a supplemental insurance.  You will also receive one free race at Gretna BMX Raceway.  This also enables you to race at more then 200 ABA tracks around the country.  There are discounts for additional family members that sign-up.

How much are the race fees?

We charge 5$ to practice and 10$ to race.  This fee help cover the cost of keeping up the track, buying trophies and paying any bills the track might have.  No one here at Gretna BMX Raceway is paid.  We are a 100% volunteer run organization.

Sound like fun, but I don't have a bike or a helmet.

No problem we have you covered.  We rent bikes and helmets.  Bike rental is 7$ and Helmets rent for 3$.
