I would like to thank everyone who was able to travel to Win Del park for the HPTA's first race of the year.

It was a beautiful, sunny day, with moderate winds, and great track speeds.
The results are posted below.

 There was a new assortment of bikes and trikes to view. Tina was showing off her new HP Speedmachine, and Larry had a cool trike with 26" inch tires all round. Tim Hicks brought an assortment of his creations, and managed to crash and break one of them. Thanks for the entertainment, Tim.

A special thanks to Joe and Les for diligently attending to the registration and event timing. You gentlemen always make the races flow smoothly, giving the event a relaxed, fun nature, that I know everyone enjoys.

Mark your calendars for June 10. The Optimist club which now runs the park, is planning a sport demonstration event on that day. They have asked us to participate, so we plan to host next month's races on that date. By doing this, we will be able to demonstrate the nature of our sport, and also offer spectators a chance to ride the KMX trikes, and view the many varied recumbent designs of our member's vehicles.

It would be nice if we could get as many members to attend, as there should be a great turn out of local visitors.

The new membership cards have arrived, and we will be making them available to you soon. They are required, as proof of insurance, when riding on some of the trails in Ontario, and at all the races.

Ride Safe!
