We are so excited for the 2021 season! Before we open for the new season, we thought it would a great time to reflect on 2020 year at Lone Star BMX. From starting the new year last January and not only relocating, but rebuilding, the bmx track and having the support of so many volunteers who came out on various work days to help get the property prepared for the move, to clear brush and other property maintance, along with relocating all of Lone Star BMX equipment, lights, concession stand, and everything else. Not to mention all of this happening right as the pandemic hit!

We are so thankful for every person who came out and supported Lone Star and who rallied with us during these unprecedented times. We had long, long days of working on the track but we pushed through. We could not have been more ready to open when August rolled around. What a long journey it had been, lots of sweat, lots of hand work from so many individuals, families, amd businesses to get us to that pivitol point. We will forever be grateful. 

August came, and we hosted the second largest State Qualifier race our opening weekend! We we're blown away by everyone who came out to ride-- again, during the pandemic. 87 motos! After that weekend, our numbers held steady over the next few months through the end of the season. We quickly moved from 9th out of the 12 Texas tracks to 4th!! We had over 6,000 hours logged from over 85 Volunteers throughout the 2021 season. So much hard work and love poured into Lone Star BMX from so many different directions!!

On top of that, our community was able to raise $10,000 to provide asphalt on the turns and starting hill for our riders, to keep our track open and provide less time spent working on track maintanence for our volunteers.  

Our halloween raffle was able to provide enough funds for our Lone Star BMX community to sponsor our first rider for the 2021 season!! 

Our network was able to provide over 600 pounds of dried canned goods to various food banks in the month of November as part of the Lone Star BMX Food Drive.

In December, we had numerous anonymous individuals purchase items as part of our Lone Star BMX Toy Drive to donate over 25 items to four children and over $400 donated to the household for toiletries, essential household goods, and necessary bills. 

We go forward into 2021 knowing that we have an amazing community of riders, volunteers, and individuals who want to make a difference. Thank you to each and every one of you for making a difference for us. We seriously are so grateful to have each of you in our community and network and know we will only continue to reach our goals and push our limits forward on and off the track.
