Report back on SQ 5 at Albany on September 10th
Oh what a beautiful day it was !! Clear skies and a gentle breeze made for a great day of racing. Thank you to all the volunteers from Chehaw BMX for being organized and ready to go when all the riders arrived. 86 riders and 25 motos, 5 teams represented and the race was set.
This time it was the 30 and over classes that were stacked. Al Farmer and Doug Potter traded places in the motos with Al bringing home the win in the main, Anthony Wade sneaking in for the 2nd and Doug staying in 3rd. The 40 and over Cruiser class for men saw Rob McAllister leading the field all day with Chuck Pitts and Thomas Gonzalez vying for the second and third spots. All the action happened on the last straight, these men are no slouches, the Championship should be exciting.
Brendon Canale put in his perfects for the day in a six man gate with the 15 Challengers Chris Mitchell and Jamie Nicholson staying close. Nic Connelly and Cole Acord went head to head 13 experts, with Nic winning for Black Crown. The 17-18 expert class is always an exciting class to watch and this time it was no exception. Ty Robinson went on to take home the wins with Alex Palmer a very close second. Keep your eye on this class in the State Championship.
The 4/u rookie class still going strong, Jace and Kegan had a lot of fun. Jace placed first in the main but the smiles on their faces when they race is too adorable. The 10 Rookie class was a strong one this time with Daniel Gyorfi using home track advantage with his perfects.
5 teams showed up to see if they could better their points going into the State Championship. Black Crown won for the day ,Chehaw BMX second, followed by Potter Plates, Bizzarro and PTCBMX. Thank you to the team managers for coming out to support out State Series.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the State Championship McDonough track October 01, 2011.
Yours in racing.

Report back on SQ 4 at McDonough on July 16th
Ah what a joy!! Cool breezes, just the right amount of rain, slighty
overcast and lots of smiling happy faces!!! Thank you to the Parks
and all the volunteers from Sandy Ridge who did an outstanding job
on track preparation and effort for the 4th State Qualifier.
Everyone had such an enjoyable time . The riders enjoyed the
gorgeous weather and with Tim Huff announcing it was BMX at its very
best.

The 17-18 expert class is the still the class to watch and with full
gates it is always action packed. This time Nathan Grant and Brandon
Brown duked it out in the motos but Nathan made no bones about it in
the main and took home the win for Black Crown. Ty Robinson finished
out strong in the 16 ex class and Cole Acord mastered the 13 ex. One
of the “funnest” races to watch was the combined class of the 41
challenger and experts Alan Farmer, Anthony Wade, Doug Potter and
Matthew Gates and Bart Lundy showed us that they still had legs,
determination and air supply!!! Anthony took home the major win,
with Al in second and Doug Potter ( yes Potter Plates) in 3rd.

Girls girls and more girls. A few injured girls who rolled the gate
but a good turn out for this class with Stephanie Beynon making it a
perfect, Alexis Willis and Cheyenne enjoying their firsts. Get well
soon Kailee Daw and Anna Beynon.
Challenger class is seeing some faster riders this year. We have a
strong 8 challenger class with Joel taking in the first place main,
Drew Hannah had a winning day and Austin and Camden mixed it up in
the 12/13 challenger class. We also wish Kris Watkins a speedy
recovery. He went down hard in the fast paced 14 challenger race.
Randall and Josh took the 1st and 2nd place in the mains.
Cruisers are always full classes. The race of the day was the
stacked 40-44/45 cruiser class. Not one man giving an inch and it
was a tight finish. Chuck Pitts raced to finish line in first place
with Thomas Gonzalez and Matthew Gates in hot pursuit . This will be
one of the most hotly contested races for the State Champs.
Rookies, the 4 and under class continues to inspire and draw gasps
of “ so cute “ Parker pedalled to his perfect. It was a day of
perfects for Parker, Matthew, Joshua and brother Caleb, Robert,Cory,
and Jacob. Well done.
Team racing was very close this time and it all came down to bonus
points. Congrats to Bizzarro, Fastback, Black Crown, Potter Plates,
Chehaw and PTCBMX Looking forward to an exciting finish for the
State Champs.
Thank you to all who made this a great day.
See you September 10th at Chehaw Parks, Albany for the final State
Qualifier.
Regards,
Shayne
Report back on SQ 3 at Augusta on June 18th

Augusta is always hot and the hospitality is always great. Thank you to the Augusta BMX parents association for making it such a “cool” event. 102 riders came out to race, 4 teams entered rosters, and with spectators from the rugby matches going on too, the racing was exciting. Thank you to Augusta TV news who gave a spot on their local tv channel.
Expert racing was as hot as the weather! Home track advantage on the first corner was in play as Ty Robinson and Bryce Moon bumped handlebars, Ty played catch up and showed some skills in the 3rd corner to take home the perfects. Cody Dutton and Alex Palmer had some phenomenal fast straights with Cody making it 1st in the main for Potter Plates at the finish line. RJ and Vanden had some tight racing and RJ maintained his 1st place finish for Black Crown . Look for some close racing between Luke Doran and Cole Acord in the next couple of rounds. Still anyones’ race out there.
Our Challenger classes are growing fast, some will surely be expert after the Championships. Our 15 Challenger class of Jamie, Tyler and Christopher pulled out all the stops for some close racing but in the end Jamie held onto 1st place with Tyler and Christopher placing 2nd and 3rd.
Cruisers and more cruisers. Great to see so many braving the heat to race both bikes that day. The race of the day in the main was the 8 on a gate 40-44 Cruiser/45-49 cruiser. These gentlemen were in it to win it. Rob McAllister of Black Crown showed he still has it with a win over Tom Gonzalez ( racing both bikes) and Jon Sugden placing 3rd. The racing was tight from start to finish.
Rookies, my favorite class of the day because you never know what to expect. 4 year olds you rock. Parker and Jace and Keegan worked the 6 straight track to the finish line. Parker got his perfects. Our 5 year olds had fun with Cannon taking the lead from Mackenzie ( yes a girl) and 6 year olds saw Matthew perfecting his day.
Once again thank you to the Team Captains. Black Crown took the first place this time with Bizzarro, Chehaw , Potter Plates and PTCBMX following along. I know the kids all wore their team jersey with pride!!!
See you at the McDonough Qualifier July 16th.
Regards,
GA STATE TEAM
Report back on SQ 2 at Peachtree City on May 21st
Well, it was a glorious summer day with temperatures hitting the
90s, and the quality of the riding to match. A special thank you to
all the volunteers of Peachtree City BMX for their hard work in
putting this together. Peachtree City paid host to round 2 of the GA
State Qualifiers and with a lot of races going on around our state,
143 riders arrived to test their skills in the race for the number
one spot in their class. A special thank you to Tim Huff who arrived
to claim his chair and announce the race for us !
The expert classes continue to amaze with their skills and their
speed around the track. 16/17/18 expert with a 17/18 Challenger
thrown in the mix was the crowd pleaser for the day. Ty, Nathan and
Mike duked it out in the motos with Nathan pulling off the win in
the main. Anthony Wade so close to a perfect but wrecked in the main
giving Alan Farmer the win for 35-40 expert class, no slouches this
group! Grant Green from Alabama kept his perfect for 10 expert and
Arthur Gore doing double duty on his cruiser and class took home the
win in a mixed age group class.
Challenger class is growing very nicely and we will be having some
great experts moving through the ranks in the not so distant future.
Christopher Mitchell perfects for the day, Doug Potter perfects for the day and Aaron Franklin too. Full classes made passing a
challenge for these riders and all the finishes were tight to the
end.
Rookies had a great day. A first for GA State were two 4 and under
rookie riders Henry and Myles smiles all around the track and proved
to everyone that size is not a consideration. I do not know who was
more excited the 5/u rookies racing or the parents. I think I will
have to get their parents into racing too. It was anybody’s race but
Cannon Joyner from Augusta took home the win in the main followed by
Nicholas Ruotolo from Peachtree City and William Van Arker from
Atlanta. All of this class are new to racing in the past 5 months.
Our 7, 8 and 9 rookie classes are packed with some great riders.
Joshua Rhyne perfected, Robert Julian perfected, Cory Gill
perfected, as well as Nicholas Kantorczyk, Jeff Smith and Tanner
Henke. Watch out for more action packed riding in Augusta next
month!
Team racing continues to be nail biting to the end. Congratulations
to Bizzarro for a fine first place finish and Black Crown 2nd with
Potter Plates pulling off as 3rd. It is still anyone’s game moving
forward.
Looking forward to see you all in Augusta June 18th 2011 Thank you
for supporting GA State BMX.
Regards,
Shayne.

Report back on SQ 1 at Albany on March 26th
We certainly danced with the weather gods on this Saturday afternoon. It started out warm, balmy, humid and sunny, then alternated between rain, storms, sunshine and dark skies! The good news is that we accomplished the impossible and completed 32 motos and 31 mains before the hail hit. Thank you to all the volunteers and Tommy and Lisa for having everything in order so the race ran smoothly.
This was definitely home advantage for the Albany riders as Cole Acord swept home the wins for Team Chehaw in the 12 expert class, the Daw family dominated in their class with Toby, Tyler and Kailee finishing first for team Chehaw. It was exciting racing between Sam Walters from Marietta and Hunter Janes , one year younger, from Leesburg. These pocket rockets duked it out in the straights , their legs peddling everything they could , dived into corners, and even the last straight gave it their all with Sam taking home the win, but Hunter close behind. We need to watch these two in the next qualifiers. Always a joy to watch the older experts race the track and RJ Livesay, Nathan Grant, Ty Robinson, Nic Connelly all got firsts fro their team Factory Black Crown.
Challenger Class is seeing some new talent. Christopher Mitchell racing for Bizzarro performed well, Toby Daw and Kyle Hitlon went back and forth all day with the wins. Eli Turner set the tone for some super fast 7 challenger racing.
Cruisers and the girls classes are growing very nicely. Congratulations to Alexis Willis on her perfects, Cheyenne Grant on her wins and loved seeing the Beynon family back supporting our State series. Welcome to new new rookie girls who made their debut, watch out guys for Audrey Sugden and Emma Padovano.
Talking about Rookies, the wins for 6 year old rookie class were precious, well done Matthew Land. Our only 4/u rookie Parker Smith kept up with big boys all day. Austin Johnson raced hard for his firsts and Devin Harris and Cameron Potter competed fiercely for first place honors going to Devin. I believe we will have some strong competition moving forward here.
Cruiser men are still having fun out there. Rob McAllister took home perfects, Anthony and Mike show you are never too old to be competitive, Victor Palmeri enjoyed his wins going for number #1 plate.
Thank you to all the team managers who brought their teams to this race. Ga State has added an additional $200 to each State Qualifier and $1000 to the State Championship final results. Everywhere I looked there was a team rider. This is how it all ended, but the score does not truly indicate how tough it was out there.
Black Crown Chehaw Parks Potter Plates Peachtree City BMX Bizzarro Evolution.
Lots of tie breakers in there too. Looking forward to a rematch for State Qualifier #2 at Peachtree City BMX May 21st. See you there.

Report back from 2010 President's Cup in Ohio

Wow! This will be short and sweet. A small but
mighty GA State Team arrived in Columbus Ohio to race against our
competition on December 27th. It turned out to be a very long
270 motos, run 3 times, with 1/8s, 1/4s, 1/2s and then the mains.
The only scores that counted were those in the main and boy oh boy
did our Ga riders pull through for us. When all was said and done GA
came out in 4th place with a $1300 check. As per our agreement this
money will be wisely spent on the riders who participated in the
event. Ms Shayne loves to shop for you ‘all.
Special thanks to
Carolyn Grant and Carol McCard who assisted me in putting in the
final results. They were my eyes and ears as I was working all week.
Thank you to all the parents who took photographs too.
(Please send them in if you want them posted here)

Race Results and
Series standings
A Big thank you to all the Augusta BMX volunteers for putting
together a great event. Your hospitality was very welcome by all our
Georgia riders and their parents. The weather was just beautiful for
a 123 rider turnout and 12 riders participating the open classes.
Thank you to all.
The results speak for themselves. There were some truly close
racing calls in the 17-18expert class, with Brandon Brown taking
home the title. This group of young men have raced each other for
about 8 years now and it is great to see the friendship off the
track still endures but the competitiveness on the track is all
business. Van and RJ put on some exciting racing with RJ taking home
the win for the day. Nick Connelly kept up his winning streek for
both cruiser and class 12 expert, Ty kept his 16 expert title for
this year with Cody Dutton, having just moved up to Novice, racing
extremely well on the day. Look out for these riders in the 17-18
expert class next year!
Congrats too Waymon Post on his win for 41novice class and
Matthew Gates for 35-40 novice. Jon Sugden bit the dust in the 3rd straight,
but kept his sense of humor and rode on into the “sunset”.
Our girls delivered some exciting racing, but I have to give dad
Matt Beynon the award for the loudest cheerleader of the day! His
daughters placed first and second, took care of business and we wish
all the Beynon family well in their move to Colorado. We are truly
going to miss your faces here in GA BMX.
The rookies, well all I can say is we are going to be welcoming a
lot of you to the novice class . Alden Parker dominated 9 rookie,
Zachary changed the color of his shoes but still had the same strong
finishes all day. ( we miss the green shoes Zack) Hunter Janes got
his perfects and the title for the 5/u rookies class. Ezra Sweatman
redeemed himself this day, stayed upright all 3 times and went home
a winner.
Cruiser class is always the most talked about class for the 40-44
class at the Nationals and our local scene is no different. Rob
McAllister took home the win but all the “boys” Daniel, Thomas, Bart
and Robert were right there behind him.
TEAM racing. Our biggest thanx go out to the team managers of all
the Teams this year. Thank you for bringing the riders to the races,
thank you for tirelessly working at every single State Qualifier and
thank you for your support. The final series came down to the top 3
teams and a very close final finish. Black Crown Bizzarro took home
the honors with Fast Back in 2nd place and Team Chehaw in 3rd. With
bigger cash prizes planned for next year, look out for some exciting
new entries into the team series for 2011
Well, ladies and gentlemen, look forward to seeing a lot of you
at the Presidents Cup in Columbus Ohio over Xmas. Look out for your
jersey to be sent to your local track in November.
See you all next year 2011.
Yours in riding,
Shayne, Terri, Thomas and Laurie.
