"28+ Open Wheels". New for 2012 indoors.*info*

Well, after some research & a phone call, this class is an option for 2012 USA BMX. This class was a staple (actually 30+) in the NBL & the ABA was so kind to keep it an option on the local level.

This class is so cool on so many levels but my aim for this class was to attract the novice, intermediates & ladies to challenge themselves to gate up with faster comp to see how they stack up. Yes, your going to have to race against some of the best expert & cruiser racers if they sign up but this is a great chance to see what you got or haven't got.

- Like I said, I really encourage the Novice, inter & ladies to sign up.
- "Open Wheels" means 20", 24", 26" & 29". Pitbikes I guess, if you want to get smoked.
- You must be entered in your regular class or cruiser class for the nights racing to enter this class as per ABA rules.
- 1$ entry fee.*

*Utah BMX.com is proud to bring this 1st race to you FREE, FREE, FREE, yes free entry fee for the night of Jan. 7th! FREE! We are going to pick up the tab so there is no excuse to test the waters.


....And now a word from our sponsors........

Hey Jason,
How about we take our pink gloves & disco slippers to the top 2 spots on the podium? :lol:

On a related note...
The lovely ladies at the finish line would like us to start using that size number plate, and the large numbers, again.
Maybe we could start a trend, everything old is new again (including the riders)! :lol:

I can already hear BJ announcing a "whole lot of sketchy" on the gate. :mrgreen:

The real question is, can B2 go 2 for 2 and guess the exact number of riders that'll sign up for the 28+ open?

This is really a fancy idea. I think this will have a better reaction and more action as the relay race in Tooele. I cant wait. I wish i could pre-sign up right now 8)

We had 30 riders for our last 28+ No-Clips race in Tooele. We had 1/4's in 41-45 a few years ago at RC Indoor. I would like to think we could get a minimum of 3 racks for this race.

I'm kicking around the idea of a special prize for the novice or lady who makes the main. Maybe an automatic move up to the inter class? :lol:
Stay tuned.

I will donate a complete bike overhaul to a Novice that places in the top 4 of any moto.

Quit talking about automatic move ups.
Justin keeps talking to Jason & I don't like the way they keep looking at Greg, Mark and me. :shock:
We'll get there soon enough Justin, let us have our fun up front a little longer.
