NBL Stars and Stripes National South Park, PA
The NBL held round #6 of its 8 event Pro series this past weekend at
one of the nations most loved tracks, South Park. The Pennsylvania
track is fast, wide, and hold some of the biggest jumps found on
BMX tracks today. With a slimed down Pro schedule compared to the
ABA, the NBL title is a tougher chase, as the Pros only have a few
chances to get in their points towards the overall title.
Consistency is the key to any title, but this years most consistent
AA Pro, Randy Stumpfhauser wants more than consistency, he wants wins.
Well, on Saturday, Stumpy did just that all day, by winning all of
his motto's, and advancing out of the semi. At the NBL races, its just
a one lap main event format, and Randy seems to have it down. As the
gate dropped, Randy holeshotted and never looked back. He had a good
challenge by Jason Richardson, but Randy was able to hold him off into
the first turn and pull away from the pack and take home a huge win.
This gives Stumpy some extra points to pad his lead for the overall
#1 Pro title chase.
On Sunday, it looked like Randy was going to once again take the top
spot in the AA class, but Randy was not able to keep off the hard charge
of John Purse, as the met in the first turn. Randy had to settle for
a 5th overall for the day in AA, but came back in the Open class to
place 2nd and show his skill level is at an all time high right now.
Randy will look to extend his lead next week, as he heads off to the
final NBL national of the year in Waterford, MI, before the NBL Grands.
