Wait…two races in the same day?  You guys are nuts! Nope, Ed Garrity and the staff at both tracks ensure that racing goes fairly quickly.  Us upstate NY racers are used to this so watch out!

Finishing up the weekend is a 90 mile, scenic drive up Rt. 96 through the beautiful Finger Lakes region (truly a site to behold) to Upstate BMX in Newark, NY.  With the final qualifier comes a rare triple ABA district point race, one of very few in the entire country. [Track Website]

Lodging

For those traveling from out of state and chasing all those points, we have made up a quick Google Map to get your bearings, it is posted below.  Directions to and from each track can be found at the link below.  You can find directions to Grippen Park BMX and other lodging info here.  Grippen Park BMX suggests you stay locally at the Econolodge/Roadway Inn right up the block from our track on Friday night, and then head west early Saturday morning.  Saturday night after the race at Champion Speedway, head up north to Newark, NY.   Be sure to contact the guys at Upstate BMX for hotel recommendations in that area.
