Gunnin in Guthrie

January 23, 2010 by BMXNEWS.COM Editors

The 2010 Sooner Nationals mark the one year anniversary of ABA’s stewardship of the UCI BMX series. Anyone with a pulse (and an Internet connection) would agree that the job they have done to fill the gates and move the series forward has been remarkable. The Junior Development Program has been a byproduct of this effort and is becoming more popular with every running. The Lazy E Arena is the setting, once again, for the Sooners, and a cool, laidback buzz was in the air Friday night as practice wrapped up and the pre-race got underway. A total of 72 motos foretells a moto count of about 175 for Saturday. In Friday Night’s Pro main, it was Gavin Lubbe (who was rockin a South Africa team jersey and not his normal Morphine colors for the pre-race) who took it to the stripe, with Nic Long (above, also in a “Friday Night” uniform) and Tory Nyhaug in for place and show.
