UPDATE: We are trying to get the new date for the rescheduled race from the league.
We would like to thank all the volunteers that worked hard in getting the track ready for the Sunday race, which meet unfortunate rain. Luck would like to thank some very distant travelers from Delaware and outer parts of Virginia for trying to come race at the state qualifier. He greatly apologizes for having to cancel for the additional rain.
Welcome to another State Qualifier race of Virginia. Richmond will be hosting a double points state race on Sunday, May 6th. Registration and gate practice will start at 12pm and the race will start after motos are posted.
All racers will be grouped in their age and skill class. It takes a minimum of 3 riders to make a class. If there is 4 riders or more, than the racers are trying to qualify to transfer to the Main. All riders finishing in the top 3 will be awarded the trophy of the day. If you have any questions, please see the track clerk at registration or the track operator.
We will need to have some workdays to help get the track prepared. We could use some help with grass cutting and track grooming. We will be making announcement of what days we will be at the track. Please let Luck know if you can help. |

Richmond BMX is helping with the 2012 Bike MS event again this year. We need volunteers to help man the rest stop at Horizon Convenience Store, 6141 Charles City Road Saturday, June 2 from 8-11am and Sunday June 3 9am-3pm. This is only about 15 minutes from Richmond BMX so you could help Sunday and leave in time for the race in Richmond at 2:30.
The rest stop services the 600+ riders who ride 75 or 100 miles on Saturday and 75 or 50 miles on Sunday to raise money for the MS Society of Central Va. Those who helped out last year had a lot of fun. As a volunteer you receive a MS volunteer T-shirt, entrance to the buffet, awards and music by the pool in Williamsburg Saturday evening, and catered lunch at the finish line in Richmond on Sunday. The finish line is right across from the Richmond BMX Track. Please contact Sandy Lee at the track or email her at

Dear NBL Track Operator,
Let me first say that this is the start of a great partnership and the beginning of an exciting new era for the sport we all love so much. Although we arrived at this turning point via two different paths, the track we’re on now—really the track we’ve been riding together all these years—is the same. Doesn’t matter what bike we ride or what jersey we wear, we are all BMX racers.
Still, we realize that the big changes taking place in our sport have made for a confusing and challenging time, especially for you track operators who want and deserve answers for yourselves and your riders. And still, we know that not everyone who steps up to your registration window will be immediately satisfied with our proposed solutions. But please do know that we are committed to doing all that we can to help your track through this transition and to keep your riders racing, not for the good of any one sanction, but for the good of all us BMXers.
Although we at the ABA and the NBL have not finalized our agreement, we are working diligently to rake out the bumps and make USA BMX a reality.
Until that time—during this transitional period—please be aware that as of June 4, 2011, NBL tracks will not be paid the previously promised rate of $5.95 per rider. NBL track operators should charge riders for all local racing. Likewise, NBL track operators should only offer 30-day/$25.00 memberships to new and renewing members during this time. All of this according to the NBL’s latest press release:
“The NBL will conclude all free local racing on June 3, 2011 in anticipation of the upcoming transition.” And “Beginning June 4, 2011, all Local NBL tracks will begin charging local race entry fees and may set prices for these entries at their discretion.”
So, what about those riders who paid for an annual NBL membership?
Upon our agreement with the NBL, USA BMX will issue class and cruiser memberships to those NBL annual members free of charge valid thru December 31, 2011. For the remaining value of their NBL annual memberships, USA BMX will also issue vouchers that can be exchanged for racing at all NBL local, state, regional and national events. These vouchers, in $1.00 and $5.00 increments, will be issued in an amount equal to the remaining balance of their respective memberships based on the following formula:
Base value of NBL Class & Cruiser Memberships @ $75.00 for both +
No. of 2011 Local NBL Events raced X $5.95 per event +
No. of 2011 Regional NBL Events raced X $50.00 per event +
No. of 2011 National NBL Events raced X $60.00 per event +
=
*Total NBL Annual Membership Allocated Fees.
*Subtracting a rider's Allocated Fees from their original NBL Annual Membership Fee will result in that rider's residual NBL membership value.
|
|
In short, a rider's NBL Annual Membership Fee minus the residual value of that membership as determined by applying the above formula to each rider's 2011 NBL race history thru June 3, 2011, equals the amount that rider will receive in USA BMX vouchers. If a rider's Allocated Fees exceed their original NBL Annual Membership Fee then there is no residual value and no USA BMX vouchers will be issued to that rider.
Sample Vouchers
While it is our goal to issue these vouchers as quickly as possible, implementation is expected to take two to three weeks. During that time, after our agreement with the NBL has been finalized, riders will be required to pay for all local, state, regional and national racing until such time that they receive their USA BMX vouchers. In turn, once a track has resumed paying its regular insurance and sanction fees, that track can pay its fees with the same USA BMX vouchers received. As well, monthly or pay-as-you-go NBL members will then be required to purchase a new $45.00 USA BMX membership that will be valid for one year from the date of purchase.
Although we are continuing to iron out the details of this transition, we hope we have answered some of your many questions. While many of you and your riders have valid concerns, we believe this addresses the outstanding membership issues in as fair and equitable a manner as possible.
We look forward to working with every one of you and meeting you at the races! Together, we will make this a great time for USA BMX!
Best Regards,
B.A. Anderson
CEO
USA BMX

NBL LOCAL TRACKS WILL START CHARGING FOR LOCAL RACING
GAHANNA, OH (June 1, 2011) — The NBL will conclude all free local racing on June 3, 2011 in anticipation of the upcoming transition.
Beginning June 4, 2011, all Local NBL tracks will begin charging local race entry fees and may set prices for these entries at their discretion.
Tracks will need to submit race reports and any membership applications taken along with the $25 membership fee, but no insurance fees or race report fees need be submitted until further notice.
This does not affect Regional and National race entries, which will remain under the current system until further notice.
Members will receive vouchers for remaining value on their memberships as soon as all race report data is confirmed. These vouchers will be good at any NBL track and can be redeemed for race entries.

| It was a pretty good day at Richmond BMX with nice weather and a good turn out to our Mother's Day race. We had 11 motos. Each mom got to enjoy getting a flower from each of their racers.
We had another race of STRIDER motos. Yes, we had 2 returning kids eager to get on the track, test out their riding skills and want to race for a trophy. It was a funfilled event with the whole track cheering on these little ones as they pushed themselves along the track. Below is some pictures provided by a photographer Omar Delgado.
