NBL Golden State Finals
Since April the team has been chipping away at the 2010 Golden State Series for an National Bicycle League CA State Title. With stops in Livermore, Fresno, Santa Maria, Orange Cove, Reedley and Lucerne Valley the riders were gaining points for the championship weekend held the second weekend in October. The weekend event started on Saturday with a last chance to qualify or better your point ranking going into Sundays championship race. The highlight of Saturdays festivities was the Pro-Am event with a $700 purse that had our rider Craig Harvey entered into the event as the only man in the show over 30 racing for the glory of a pro moto win. Craig had a brand new Supercross Blur to race on and after a couple good motos Craig had a hard crash that almost put a stop to his entire weekend. After a nights rest he came back on Sunday only racing his cruiser bicycle to take the state #1. Tory Lopez was racing the boys as a rookie and was able to finish 3rd in the state series while her brother Koby was racing the 12 experts and took a 2nd in the state for 2010. Gunnar Carlson is our other little guy that was running the borders of our state series all year. Gunnar was able to finish with a #3 plate for the year. Ken Leslie was on a comeback this year and even with a few slow starts it was more than impressive to see him walking much less riding a bicycle in the 2010 season. Ken raced the season, got qualified and took a #6 state ranking for the season in the cruiser class. Jimmy Leslie was the main guy racing the 16 expert class for the series and it paid off on Championship weekend as he took #1 in the state for the 2nd year. In the 26-34 Expert class Cody Wilson has been the state champion for the decade but with some of the younger races moving in it was proving to be tougher than ever to keep the title. Team rider Nathan Mellone was one of these riders making the move. It came down to Sundays scores and when Cody took a win in round 1 it nearly sealed the gap he needed to keep the champion status for another year. Nathan finished the year in 3rd for the Golden State. All of the riders racing the series have now qualified for the 2010 Presidents cup in Ohio and to represent California during the race. Look for a few of our riders in December at the race.
