ALL the action at Ballarat-Sebastopol Rush BMX Club will be well lit, following the installation of four state-of-the-art LED lighting towers.<\/p>\n
Rush president, Rob Pompe said the lights and their placement have been specially designed for the Marty Busch Reserve track.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve been installed for the best effect at night, mindful of not disturbing neighbours nearby, and set up to BMX Australia standards so there are no shadows,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Pompe said the lights mark a \u201chuge milestone\u201d for the growing club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can now run night events after work hours. That was something we could never do, even in daylight savings, because once it gets dark it gets dangerous.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow there\u2019ll be a lot more Friday and Saturday night racing scenarios involved. More coaching and training hours will be offered which gives parents more flexibility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will help the kids to develop more in their training and allows us more freedom to hold events so they can race, and kids from other towns can come and race.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grateful to the City of Ballarat for their support, Mr Pompe put Cr Des Hudson in the spotlight.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been an integral part of this happening the way it has, and other things we\u2019re pushing for at the club, like a new start gate. He\u2019s a massive ongoing advocate for the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe club and the committee have come so far in the last two years. We can\u2019t wait for people to come and join, and enjoy the sport,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The lights were installed of the fourth of this month, and the RUSH committee is learning to operate the system before it\u2019s \u2018lights up,\u2019 when events return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
