ABA Mile High Nationals Dacono, Colorado
Race number 13 of the ABA's 2003 National Pro series was held in Dacono,
Colorado, just a half hour outside Denver this past weekend. As the
Pros arrived on Friday, they were treated to a great track, but the
weather started to turn on them. The clear blue skies turned black
and opened up just a few minutes after the Pro Practice was over.
As the riders headed back to the hotel, they had thoughts of a bad
day of mud racing ahead of them on Saturday. As they arrived on Saturday
morning, they were pleasantly surprised, as the track was in great
condition, and ready for some full speed AA racing. Here is how the
Double A Marketing riders finished up at the event. Randy
Stumpfhauser has been the top guy in BMX for the past few months,
as he is atop the NBL Pro points towards
the #1 title, and after the
past few ABA races, has jumped up drastically into the top of the ABA
title chase. On Saturday, Stumpy once again was the Pro to beat, and
no one could do that, as he took home another huge AA pro win on his
Huffy Supercharger. In Pro Open, Stumpy was just as impressive, but
staying in 2nd. On Sunday, Randy once again was looking as he was the
fastest rider on the track, but that title went to Danny Nelson, as
Stumpy had to settle for 2nd in AA. But come Pro Open time, Randy was
right back on track with another win. From all the past few races,
Randy has been by far the most impressive AA Pro of 2003. Randy's sponsors
include Huffy Bicycles, Fox Racing, AC Components, IRC Tires, Smith
Eyewear, Alex Rims, Thompson Seatposts, S & M Forks and Bars, ODI
Grips, BMXpros.com, Champion Nutrition, Shimano, Vans, and CTI Knee
Braces.
Christophe
Leveque is making great progress on the AA scene after
his return from his back injury. On Saturday, Christophe rode strong
and looked fast, but just missed out of being in the AA main. Sunday
was the same, but Christophe vows to be back in the winners circle
at one of the next few races this summer.
Christophe's sponsors include GT Bicycles, Hyundai Motors USA, Fox
Racing, Marazochi Forks, Tangent, Smith Eyewear, Tioga, BMXpros.com,
ODI, Profile, Easton, Champion Nutrition, and Powerbar.
