Besides gearing up for the Corn
husker football syndrome all summer,
Nebraskans can watch or participate in
a number of different sports ranging
from dog racing to golf to biking.
Like apple pie and Chevrolets, this
wouldn't be America without baseball.
The Omaha Royals opened their home
season April 17 against Nashville.
Besides the regular games, special
events will make the trip to Omaha
more interesting for many fans, such as
the visit by the famous San Diego
Chicken on June 12, the traditional
fireworks show on July 4, and there will
be a major musical concert possibly
the Beach Boys after a game on a
date yet to be announced. The Royals'
season ends on Sept. 3.
The College World Series is currently
in session and will last until June 17.
Dog Racing in Council Bluffs
Across the river, Bluffs Run is in the
midst of its season with dog races six
days a week.
A special L bor Day race will be run
at 1 :30 p.m. The gates open 1 12 hours
before post time on each race day.
Admission is $3 for the clubhouse and
lounge area and $1 for the grandstand
for those who are 18 and under.
Auto Racing
A Sunday night alternative is Lin
coln's Midwest Speedway. The season
began May 3 and will run until Labor
Day weekend. There are two classes of
competition sprint and stock cars
which run an average of 1 2 races per
night. Midwest Speedway is open Sun
day nights from 7:30 to 10 p.m.
Horse Racing
As much as Nebraska is known for
corn, Omaha is known as the home of
Ak-Sar-Ben. The horse racing season
opened April 29 and will run until
August 19. General admission is $2 and
$1 for senior citizens and members. To
be admitted, spectators have to be at
least 12. To wager, spectators must be
19. The biggest race of the season, the
Cornhusker Handicap, is August 1 and
will be televised by ESPN.
Biking
The second Bike Ride Across Nebra
ska is now taking place. The 475-mile
tour began in Alliance and will continue
along Highway 2 through Hyannis Nat
ional Forest, Halsey, Ord, Neligh, Wayne,
and Tecumseh, and end at the Fort
Omaha campus of Metro Tech Com
munity College. Dr. John Wupper,
organizer of the event, said the partici
pants range in age from 10 to 70. The
longest day of riding is 87 miles and the
shortest is 37. The bikers usually start
between dawn and 7 a.m. and ride until
early to late afternoon. About 500 to
600 riders are participating in the ride,
a project of the Northwest Omaha
Rotary Club.
The Shrine Bowl
The Shrine Bowl seems an appropri
ate way to end the summer and usher in
the Nebraska football season. The high
school football classic will be played
August 1 at 1:30 p.m. in Memorial
Stadium. Players chosen by their
coaches will participate in the 29th
annual event. About 20,000 to 27,000
people are expected to attend the
game.
