Mike Day:

AA Pro - Saturday:  6th (semi final)

AA Pro - Sunday:  DNQ

Mike had a really tough time this weekend in Lancaster.  His first straight pull wasn’t what he was hoping for, and with the track being a bit on the “easy side”, there wasn’t really anywhere for him to make up ground.  He signed a ton of autographs, took a lot of pictures with the fans and even did some TV interview stuff for an upcoming BMX program.  All things considered, he did a fine job representing GT Bicycles.

 


Joey Bradford:

AA Pro - Saturday:  DNQ

AA Pro - Sunday:  DNQ      
                                                                                  
Bradford was not quite the JB we all are used to seeing every weekend at the BMX races.  His power, his pull and his skill were there, but if he had any luck this weekend, it was all bad.  He had two crashes out of his three motos on Saturday that were not his fault.  Sunday he had problems keeping his shoes clipped into the pedals.  He won his third moto during qualifying, but ended up tying with another rider for the last transfer spot to the semi finals and had watch from the sidelines.  All in all, it was a disappointing weekend for JB.
 

Eric Rupe:

Vet Pro - Saturday:  7th
Pro Cruiser:  6th

Vet Pro – Sunday:  5th                                           
Pro Cruiser:  7th                               

The Big Daddy of BMX was a bit off the mark here at the ABA Golden State Nationals in Lancaster, CA.  He struggled all weekend with his front straight speed and had to do most of his riding from mid pack.  As race weekends go, it wasn’t bad though, as he was able to put his GT in the main events for Vet Pro and Pro Cruiser both days.

Bubba Gonzales:

10x - Saturday:  7th
10 cru – Saturday:  1st

10x – Sunday:  1st
10 cru – Sunday:  1st
                                                                                                
Bubba was on fire this weekend and his results sure showed it.  He ripped his way to wins in three out of the four classes he entered.  If it wasn’t for a crash in the 10 expert main on Saturday, he most likely would have won that as well.  Looks like his wrist is doing just fine.  Way to go Bub!!

The next race will be in Las Vegas October 24-25 for the NBL Western Regional Championships and Silver State Nationals.  Hope to see you there!
