ABA Shows 2010 NAT/NAG Award Goodies

By now most of you should know how you ended up the 2010 ABA season, and whether you’ll be running a white, gray or black background on your plate in 2011. For the NAG and National set, the ABA released the 2010 designs for the award plates you’ll be handed next month in Reno (or, if you’re not there, will be mailed to your door soon after). As in years past, Tangent is the plate mate, and has come up with black and gray designs for the Canadian hotshoes as well as the Yankees.

Plus, for those top 10 NAG Riders, Hot Shoppe has whipped up some tasty hoodies for your troubles. These are usually ready around Winter Nats time, so keep an eye out for them…and if you’re a gray plater, be sure ABA has your correct size.

And for the top-of-class types, T.H.E. has a little something special in store for you. Yup, a custom-run NAG #1 helmet, complete with in-the-paint honors befitting someone who walked between the raindrops of the challenges presented by the way-tough ABA National Series, and came out on the top of the heap.

Congrats to all 2010 National and NAG-ranked riders. Looking forward to getting more great shots of all of you in 2011.
