Not to be a nag or anything…
2008 ABA BMX PRO Spectacular/N.A.G. 5 Challenge Racers Announced
One of the highlights of Thanksgiving weekend in Tulsa is the PRO Spectacular/N.A.G. 5 Challenge. This event pits the best of the best against each other, in a special racing format. The top riders from across the country are staged, lined up on the gate, and you watch the action unfold from there. For the top Am`s, this race isn`t about points, it`s about bragging rights for the next 365 days, and a treasure trove of amazing prizes for all who make the main. Plus, settling in to a permanent spot on the program, the N.A.G 5 women promises to bring more outstanding racing to an already-amped up event .
The GO211 crew will be on site, so be sure to catch the action "Live" on GO211.com. The News crew will be on hand as well, prettying up the infield, and getting all the best dirt in the pits. Follow our updates, and get into the discussion from Tulsa, on Twitter (bmxnews). Good luck to everyone and we`ll see you in Tulsa! Get your picks in, come on over to the forum.
