    Dear Santa Clara City Council,

    I plead with you to reopen Santa Clara PAL BMX track ASAP. Our children, at the age of 9, 6 and 3, are all active participants of the track and its programs. We have reshaped our lifestyle to center around the track. We travel to Santa Clara and support the local economy purely based the track location and our love of the sport.

    Thank you for listening.

    BMX and Coach Nick have taught my kids so many valuable lessons. BMX helps my family bond by doing what we all love. How do I console 3 children who cry because their lives have been flipped upside down? We’ve gone from racing 3x week to driving over an hour to race once a week. Please put the KIDS first and reopen the track with USABMX so we can continue to stay competitive in the sport and earn USA BMX points/rankings and get our kids back into doing what they love.

    Please reopen the Santa Clara pal BMX track for racing soon!! It was great the way for the kids to practice and improve by racing! My 6 year old and 3 year old race there 3 times every week for the last year. They are very sad that the track is closed and they don’t have a place to race. It is really important that the track is not only open but can also hold races! It was on of the things that made Santa Clara a great place to live.

    I am pleading with you to do everything you can do to ensure that Santa Clara PAL BMX reopens with the current management team still in place. Nick and his team have never been anything but amazing to my kids and their experience over the four years we have been racing. We need to get back to our home track, our community and our second family and our kids need to get back to what they love the most. So please I’m begging that you put politics aside and do what’s best for our children.

    Please reopen the track! It was great the way it used to be. My 6 year old has been racing there almost every week for the last half year or so. It was one of the few things that kept us sane and healthy during the pandemic. He has been working hard and is very sad that the track is closed. I feel bad for the 100s of other people that can't ride. It was on of the things that made Santa Clara a great place to live.

    Requesting you all to reopen SCPal track sanctioned by USABMX. The closure is keeping the kids away from being able to participate in one of the best BMX programs across the country. Rider base at the SCPAL BMX is huge and has a potential for producing some of the best racers in the sport. The team running the program is amazing and have been very consistent in promoting the sport across Santa Clara county and beyond. We request SCPal team to work with USA BMX and reopen the track immediately.

    My daughters and husband ride at SC BMX, and it has been wonderful for them to share something that they all love. We are out 3x a week, my 8 year old has been working hard and showing great improvement. SC PAL BMX program is operated by amazing people who truly care about these kids. Please open SC PAL BMX under USABMX sanction. This has been a wonderful outlet for my kids, and we have been grateful to be a part of this community.

    Please reopen the USA BMX sanctioned track at Santa Clara PAL ASAP. The Santa Clara PAL BMX program is operated by some amazing people who genuinely care about the racers at the track. There is no reason the track cannot be reopened. It is hurting the kids, and their abilities to race and be coached by some amazing talent.You have an opportunity here to bring back the track immediately, and allow the track operators to do continue to make Santa Clara PAL BMX an amazing program.
