Kicking into a different gear: All-American BMX summer season ramps up
NORWICH – Since Memorial Day weekend, the All-American BMX “Rad Pack” competitive schedule has picked up, racing Friday, Saturday and Sunday most weekends in several locations. This past weekend, the Rad Pack was split as riders raced at different tracks showcasing their talent in Endicott, Owego and Hamburg, NY.
The weekend started with racing at Grippen Park BMX in Endicott and Southtowns BMX in Hamburg, the site of the New York State Qualifer event that took place on Saturday and Sunday.
At Grippen Park, no Rad Pack rider placed outside the top three of their classes. Mason Harvey and Vinny “Rapid Redline,” Lawson both brought home first place trophies from Friday’s racing night.
While no rider stood at the top of the podium, the All-American BMX team representatives at Southtowns did not disappoint. The team took three second-place finishes along with two third-places. Patrick “the Beast” White placed second in both the 12 cruiser class and the 12 intermediate class.
Saturday saw more of the Rad Pack at Southtowns BMX for the qualifier event. A total of nine riders competed at the Hamburg track, resulting in more trophies brought back to the area for the team. The Beast turned one of his second place trophies into the top prize on Saturday as he took first in the 12 intermediate class.
Joining White are the top was Liam “Bad to the Bone” Ballin as he placed first in the 9 novice class. His teammate, Ethan “Big Air” Willis took first the 9 intermediate class. The two riders win on Saturday moved them one win away from moving up to the next class of racing.
On Sunday, the racing continued at two different tracks. With the group in Hamburg racing the final day at the Northeast Gold Cup Qualifier, the others topping the weekend off at Champion Speedway in Owego.
Colden Burkholder joined Bad to the Bone Ballin and Big Air Willis as first place winners on Sunday in Hamburg. The win on Sunday gave Ballin and Willis their required amount of wins (Ballin needed 10, Willis needed 20) to move up. Ballin will now race in the intermediate class while Willis advances to the expert class.
Keegan Hagar, Cal Smith, Camyrn “Crazy Legs” Searfoss, and Timmy White were amoung the group at the New York State and Gold Cup Qualifier events that placed second throughout the weekend.
Alex Barry, Wade Law, Aiden Baker, Elliot Harvey, Bryson Gray are the riders who placed second between the bike parks in the Binghamton area. Rapid Redline Lawson placed first in two classes on Sunday at Champion Speedway.
Racing for their first time on the track were Roxanne Gray, Jennifer Bresee and Liz Lawson – three moms of the Rad Pack. Their appearance in Owego brought three more trophies home for the All-American BMX team, proving anyone can ride.
The Rad Pack once again has a full weekend ahead starting Friday night at Grippen BMX Park. The team will travel the Horseheads BMX as well as Valley BMX on Saturday before concluding the weekend at Valley BMX and Champion Speedway on Sunday.
