Big night tonight with a bunch of 🔥 laps. Congrats to Liam Adams on his 10th win to get to Intermediate. We also wrapped up our Grands Prep Pro-Am series. The top spots for the overall winner, top amateur, and top 14&under rider came down to the final lap!!! Congrats to @kit_bjerk, @nolan_cardwell, and @lil_wrenchman on their wins in those respective categories. Big thanks to the National Cycling Center (@usnccws) for helping us put this on for the riders!!!

The answer to the question y'all have been asking all day...YES, WE'RE RACING tomorrow, November 14. Single points race AND Pro-Am Finals!!! We are pushing back our start time though to give the river a little more time to drop the water level. PRACTICE & REGISTRATION: 2pm - 3:45pm, Racing ASAP. We know many of you messaged us today, but it took some time to get back to the track due to the Yadkin River flooding. Luckily, it's supposed to drop 12 feet overnight and we only need about a 2-3 foot drop for the acces road to be clear. Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!!!

The full 2021 National schedule for amateurs has been released!!!

#USABMX is excited to announce the second half of the 2021 Nationals Series! We look forward to a positive start to the 2021 season and appreciate our members and your patience during these unprecedented times that we continue to experience.
Also, stay tuned next week for an exciting announcement about the 2021 Pro Series!
