Building on the success of the Coyote Nationals in Goodyear, AZ, the NBL will be returning to the West this weekend to promote the upcoming Pacific Nationals at the Whittier Narrows BMX Track in South El. Monte, CA.

If you’re heading to the NBL California State Race at X Roads BMX in Lucerne Valley on Saturday, March 1st you’re in for a special treat. NBL staff will be on hand to accept pre-registration for the Pacific Nationals, scheduled to take place April 4-6, 2008. Pre-register for both days of the Pacific Nationals at the NBL State Race and you’ll receive two (2) free Open entries*. The new UGP Open series is now in full affect and you can use those free Opens to qualify for the UGP Open Championship – make the main both days and you’re qualified!

As a BONUS if you are not planning to attend the California State Race on Saturday you still have a chance to get in on this great deal. Following the State Race on Saturday, Robert Tombow and NBL staff will be at the Whittier Narrows BMX track for an evening race and more pre-registration for the Pacific Nationals. A great chance to ride their sweet track and get registered at the same time.

Not an NBL member yet? All licenses will be accepted so make sure you come out to Whittier Narrows BMX on Saturday night to register and complete your license conversion. Wait, it gets better…
