USA BMX Grandnationals Break the Record for Biggest BMX Race Ever
Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) December 01, 2013 -- Each year, since 1998, the USA BMX Grandnational is held in Tulsa, OK over Thanksgiving weekend. And for the past three years, they've experienced record-breaking turnouts. Last year's race-count of 678 motos (races) set the bar pretty high, but this year - for the 2013 USA BMX Grands, the number of participants and turnout shattered all previous records, making this event the largest BMX race ever held.
For Saturday and Sunday's event, USA BMX signed up more than 4,000 entries - coming from 49 states and 17 different countries. Put them altogether and there are over 710 races. The largest turnout from the U.S. came from Texas, with California in a close second.
The USA BMX Grands is the final race of the BMX season - and is where riders can earn a No.1 Championship title in many categories. Friday's event - the Race of Champions, awarded winners a "ROC No.1" numberplate, that they can run throughout next year. On Sunday, there are seven National No.1 titles up for grabs to the sport's fastest boy and girl amateurs.
