2020 VA State Championship Weekend - Oct 10-11, 2020
As annouced by USA BMX, there has been a change in the state of Virginia in regards to the State Championship Series for 2020. Several of the tracks are prohibited from running a state race this year. Therefore, the minimum eligibility requirements for the predetermined number of SCR races will change to one (1) state race for qualification within the Virginia State Championship Series. As always, if you race in more than one SCR, your best score plus the final will be used.
The Virginia tracks have put together a Virginia State Final weekend with events to be held at VMP BMX. The events will start off with a double point state pre-race on Friday night with registration being handled at the track. A State Qualifier will be held Saturday, followed by the State Final race on Sunday.
Registration for the State Qualifier and Final are ONLINE ONLY with registration closing at 8 pm, Thursday, October 8. To register for the VA State Final Race Weekend go to usabmx.com, Events, State/Provincial/Virginia.
