This past weekend was the Texas State Qualifier and Race For Life at LoneStar BMX.
There was some great racing with 160 racers coming out and supporting the Race For Life and 360 Racers racing in the State Qualifier.
Guthrie was a blast. The track was fast and fun. The Kids did really good with Zoie getting a pair of 2nds over the weekend and Brody making the mains. I raced good but didn’t make it into the mains on either day.
This weekend is the 2nd stop for the USABMX National Series! Pictures on Facebook of the track are looking good. I’m really excited to get there and see if what I’ve been doing is helping my track speed.
LoneStar BMX is closed, planned on that for this weekend but the rain didn’t help anything there.
I just had to go out and try the Redline Carbon Flight. With some new parts and some scavenged from the garage I built it up. I decided to race it at this years Grands. The bike rides sweet, though I like the feel of my Supercross Envy just a tad more. What is it that tilts the scales, not sure as I have these bikes built up to feel exactly the same.

Kids did OK at the Grands this year. I missed the semi, just barely. Needed a 12 with a 1st in the 3rd round, got a 12 with a 4th in the 3rd round.
Zoie will be NAG 10 after not making the main. Brody earned an Open Jacket for making 6 open mains at nationals. Good year of racing. We’re starting work for next session.
Have you been getting ready for the ABA Grands for the past 3 months? Make sure you get some action shots while you’re racing your way through Thanksgiving. Check out MJT Designs. They’ll be easy to find, just look for this;
I got a link to a cool story on another blog that needs to be shared; http://www.diabetesmine.com/2011/08/bmx-rider-rolls-hard-with-type-1.html.
