BMX racing is open to any boy or girl, man or woman, kid, mom, or dad who can ride a bike – ages 2 – 92. At VMP BMX, the racing season lasts all year long, as weather permits. You can fit BMX racing in between other activities and commitments like work, school, sports, church, and scouting. We typically race on Sunday afternoons in the winter months and Friday Nights and Saturdays throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall. In the Summer, we have Weekday Night Racing as well! We and also hold weekly practice events including clinic opportunities. We can open the park and hold other events when you want to participate, so ask us if you have a special event we can support. Spectating is free at local races and even many of the multi-point events.
VMP BMX is officially sanctioned by USA BMX, the American Bicycle Association. Each rider is permitted one free trial race. After that, you must purchase a USA BMX membership to continue racing. Initial and renewal memberships are available at all VMP BMX Race Events. You can also the access the USA BMX application online -- be sure to select VMP BMX as your local track and don't forget to bring the 8-digit membership number with the 4-digit code so we can get you set up for racing at the track right away!
Q&A
Q: Can I ride the track when there is no BMX Event scheduled?
A: VMP BMX is on the property managed by the Virginia Motorsports Park. If you are on the property at an event that is not run by VMP BMX, you MUST get permission from that group's organizers or from the Property Management to access the BMX Facilities. With that clearance, we ask that you ride during daylight hours and stay off the track when the track is wet or when volunteers are performing maintenance on the track. During USA BMX sanctioned events, the track is open only to riders holding a current USA BMX full membership or a One-Day Trial Membership.
Q: Can I try a practice or race before committing to membership?
A: Yes! That is why this One-Day Trial Membership exist. It gives new riders the chance to try out racing (or gate practice) before purchasing an annual USA BMX Membership.
Q: How do I sign up?
A: Complete the form using the instructions at the top of this page and bring the information provided (member # and code, etc.) to the registration window during a sanctioned event to use your One-Day Trial Membership. You can also come straight to the track to provide the information needed to set up your membership.
