East Moline BMX Speedway
East Moline is the only Bmx track in the whole US that has a portable track that we set up indoors during the winter. Our first race is January 22nd at the Iowa building at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. There will be 12 races in three weeks. There will also be practice nights in between race nights. When the weather gets nice, we do race outside at our track in East Moline behind Kunes. Follow us on Facebook to get updates of races and practices. This sport is for people of all ages.
