December 12th, 2010 - The NBL is changing the requirements to move from Rookie to Novice (Now called Challenger) and from Challenger to Expert. This change will be effective on January 1st, 2011. What does it take to move from Rookie to Challenger? Since the idea of a Rookie in any other sport is that of a first-season player, a Rookie will be moved up to Challenger after a minimum of 40 Gate drops AND a minimum of one (1) year racing. If a rider has more than 40 Gate drops at any point in the year, then he cannot move up until the end of the full first year. If, however, a rider has less than 40 Gate drops at the end of the first year, then he cannot move up until he achieves the 40 drops. To move from Challenger to Expert, a rider must meet the following three conditions: 1. A minimum of 100 gate drops (includes 40 earned as Rookie) and 2. A minimum of 24 months total participation and 3. In the 90th Percentile (roughly top 10%) in their class Here is the link to the riders in the NBL who, if their name appears on this alphabetical list, will be moved up to the next proficency level on January 1st.
For the listing December 6th, 2010 - Thanks so much to everyone who helped out at our Benefit fundraiser yesterday. The cold air did not prevent the heart warming experience of helping out a family in need.

November 29th, 2010 - On Sunday, December 5th, we will be hosting a "Benefit Open House Day" for a family whose house recently burned to the ground along with all of their belongings.
