NBL Entry and Race Fees

Richmond BMX is an NBL sanctioned track. To participate in these events you must hold a valid NBL license. This license may be purchased at the track before your first race. It is good for a year from the date of purchase and the cost is $45.00. With the purchase of your license your first race is free, afterward, the RichmondBMX rate schedule is in effect (see the rate schedule below).

A trial membership is also available to riders who want to try the sport for 30 days. A trial membership is $30.00 and is good for 30 days from the date of purchase. When your 30 days is up you may pay the additional $15.00 and your license will be good for a year from your original purchase date. If you choose a trial membership you must pay the race fee of the day and when you convert to a full license you will then receive your free race.

On certain dates the entry fee to race for the day is higher than normal (double-points race days, Bob Warnicke Scholarship race days, State Series race days, etc). If you sign up as a new rider on these day you must pay the higher entry fee and you will receive a certificate to use for a FREE race on any regular race day.

Volunteer Program

To encourage parents to volunteer, $3.00 in track bucks will be given, per race, to each volunteer. You can use your $ 3.00 for race fees or to purchase concessions.
