100% Volunteers
80/35 BMX is open because of VOLUNTEERS! That's right! Your local track is 100% run and operated through volunteers - we have NO paid employees. Volunteers like you create and maintain everything from the registration to the ads you see. We are always looking for individuals willing to pitch in and help out in a way that uses their skills to the best. We will train onsite for all positions. As a thank you to all of our volunteers, we offer an incentive program to earn free races!
Volunteer Positions

Concessions & Merchandise
– An exciting place to hang out. If you enjoy helping others this is for you! Complete purchase transactions, fill orders with cold drinks and tasty treats. Helping during our race and practice events within the concession stand is ALWAYS needed - ESPECIALLY DURING LARGE EVENTS. Concessions is one of the MOST important jobs at the track as the extra revenue generated from sales helps with the operational expenses. -

Staging
– A chance to hang out within the buzz of excitement as you call out the staging instructions for our riders. -
Beginner League Helpers
– (Staff and manage our beginner league program, which runs for 5 weeks. Help is always needed in many areas from concessions to bike assistance to track helpers. We will show you what to do! -
Special Event Weekends
– Periodic help during our special events with 50/50; t-shirt sales; raffles; clean up; trophy prep... lots and lots of miscellaneous places to lend a hand - a chance to jump in and help on an event-by-event basis. -
Board of Directors
