Mellow Johnny’s night a success

We all had a good night’s racing with Mellow Johnny’s sponsoring that night of the Dirt Derby.

We  had a night full of racing and excellent instruction and critiques from Will Black. We made some course changes for the cyclocross race that were well received and the course was in excellent shape after a dry weekend.

We’ve got the Halloween Dirt Derby coming up sponsored by Bicycle Sport Shop and will feature a night full of racing, costumes, prizes and fun. Check out this video from David Callahan of racing the Dirt Derby beginner race showing off the course in action: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGNamppd7j4&feature=youtu.be4[/youtube]

A race tomorrow, a new sponsor and some photos

We are golden for another night of cyclocross and mountain bike racing tomorrow, Oct 16th. Come on out, bring a bike, bring a friend and let’s have a good time.

We are also excited to be sponsored again this year by Tom Mahnke with Hindsight 20/20 Realty. Check them out for any of your real estate needs – residential or commercial, they can handle it all. Tom’s been a sponsor, supporter and racer at the Dirt Derby for years and we’re sure that if you work with him that you’ll be as satisfied as we are.

Last week we also had Austin Vivid Photography come out and took some excellent photos of the Dirt Derby in action. There’s a single image of theirs below, but you should check out their website for more info and take a look at our facebook gallery for all the shots.

We hope to see y’all tomorrow – The Dirt Derby

Dirt Derby tonight, Oct 9th

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thanks to everyone who came out for our first Ladies Night of the season last week – we saw a bunch of new faces and were happy to have so many folk out and racing.

We’re keeping it going this week with another race today, and we’d love to see everyone out there again.

We’ve got some exciting announcements and events at the races in the mix so keep an eye out! We look forward to seeing y’all later today,

Ladies’ Night October 2nd!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are back with another night of racing under the lights tomorrow and we are doing it in style by giving away free races to female racers. No restrictions on which race or number of races or anything – if you’re a lady racing you will not pay us anything. Also, guys dressed slightly like ladies will also race for free – it’s a Derby cyclocrossdressing tradition.

We hope to see y’all tomorrow,

Ladies’ Night Next Tuesday!

Results have been posted over on the results tab, and next week we’ve got our first Ladies’ Night of 2012.

Ladies get to race for free! And our near-sighted folks at registration are easily fooled and so any guy who dresses lady-like will also race for free.

It’s an excellent chance to get some free racing in, or to invite someone who wouldn’t normally race to come out and try it for free.

We hope to see y’all Tuesday,

The Dirt Derby Resumes Tuesday!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are excited to close to having the Dirt Derby return for the fall of 2012. We are starting up racing again at the Austin/Del Valle Motocross Course this coming Tuesday, September 25th. The course has been moved south of where it was last year and we are riding on a totally different course from what we used on in the spring. Check out our preview video.

Another change this year is that all races are $10, the second race is $5, and riders under 18 are free. We will be having ladies’ nights and other promotions throughout the year that will feature free and discounted races and we will be sure to let y’all know when those are coming up.

Here’s our schedule for this fall:

2012 Dirt Derby

We hope y’all are as excited for this season’s Dirt Derby as we are and we look forward to being able to provide you with the best races that we can. As always, email us back for questions/concerns and don’t forget to follow us on facebook and twitter.
