BMX
in Louisville, Kentucky
 The
National Bicycle League (NBL) is proud to announce that
America’s most prestigious race is headed back to the
World Famous Derby City BMX Track in Louisville, Kentucky
from August 30 to September 2. The 30th Anniversary
of the NBL Grand National comes complete with an exciting
blend of intense race action, awards presentations, entertainment,
contests, and culminates with the highly-anticipated crowning
of the 2007 National Champions.
The
NBL Grand National is much more than just a race –
it’s an ‘Experience’ and to celebrate the
30th Anniversary, all Amateur #1’s will receive a
commemorative Championship award. The Grands ‘Experience’
will also feature a 2008 UCI Continental race, an NBL
All-Star Clinic, and a new Saturday Elite Spectacular
on Saturday afternoon. For anyone not able to attend,
you’ll get to see the action from the comfort of
your computer screen through the ‘LIVE’ Webcast
at BMXTVDIRECT.
New
for 2007, the NBL will showcase the Elite Series classes
plus a special ‘Open’ class during the Elite
