BMX Race Report
ABA Silver Dollar Nationals Reno, NV

The ABA kicked things off huge this past weekend, as the ABA crew outdid themselves with one of the best race tracks ever build at the Reno Livestock arena for the 2007 Pro Series opener. With 25 of the worlds top AA Pros in attendance, the Silver Dollar Nationals was a great weekend of exciting Pro racing and has set the stage for what should be the best year of AA Pro racing in the ABA's history. Randy Stumpfhauser, Brandon Meadows, and Cristian Becerine were all in attendance for the event and here is how they finished up:

Randy Stumpfhauser started off the 2007 ABA race season with a continuance of his recent domination. On Saturday, Randy was out front all day and easily made it to the AA Pro Main event. Once the main event kicked off the 2 main events, it seemed Randy was off his A game just a bit, as he would finish up 8th for the day. On Sunday, Randy was back and ready to redeem himself. Randy rode 3 impressive rounds and finished up 2nd overall for the day. Randy's sponsors include GT Bicycles, Kenda, ODI, Tangent, Sun Rims, Bombshell, Fly Racing, SINZ Products, Powerbar, OGIO, SDG, SRAM, Cyto Sport, and BMXpros.com.

Cristian Becerine was the sole rider for the Free Agent world team in attendance in Reno, but his performance made up for the lack of team mates. On Saturday, Cristian was one of the fastest Pros on the track but a crash directly behind him caused him to crash and miss out of the AA main on Saturday. He was in the Pro Open main event, where he would finish up 4th. On Sunday, Cristian was in both the AA and Pro open main events. In AA, Cristian finished up 4th, and in Pro Open he powered his way to an impressive 2nd place. Cristian's Sponsors include: Free Agent, Answer, Kenda, THE Products, Sun Ringle, Shimano, Powerbar, Cyto Sport, OGIO, and Thomson Seat Posts and BMXpros.com

Brandon Meadows made a huge impression in Reno. First off, it was Brandon's first race for his new sponsor Intense BMX/Socko Energy. Brandon was so excited about his new sponsorship, that he raced on Friday night at the ABA National Pre race, taking home the win. On Saturday, Brandon kept things going as he impressed the Nor Cal fans all day and made both the AA Pro and Pro Open main events. Brandon would finish up 3rd in Pro Open and 5th in AA. Brandon is excited about 2007 and looks forward to a healthy year of racing. Brandon's Sponsors include Intense BMX, Socko Energy, SINZ Racing, THE Products, Fly Racing, Shimano, Power Bar, Intense Tire Systems, Cyto Sport, OGIO, Thomson Seat Posts, and BMXpros.com
