ABA Volunteer Nationals Shelbyville. TN

An East Coast ABA National in February is usually a little cold, but after seeing the 191 moto's of hot BMX racing that took place this weekend in Shelbyville, Tennessee for the 2003 ABA Volunteer Nationals, the town got warmed up. With each BMX race being bigger and bigger so far in 2003, BMX seems to be gaining a little momentum and just getting better than ever. Dale Holmes made the cross country trip to Tennessee for the event, and here is how he wound up.

Dale Holmes was looking to take his great string of race results even further into the 2003 season. After easily making the AA Pro main on Saturday, Dale had a terrible crash while battling it out for the lead. Dale would get the wind knocked out of him, as well as a bruised face, but he still lined up on the gate for the final race of the night, just to show his fans he was OK. Dale would wind up taking 8th for the day in both AA and Open and an early flight home to recoup. Look for Dale to be back strong at his next event, which will actually be a BMX Training clinic next Sunday at Orange Y BMX. For more Clinic Info, click here.
