of applause to ABA's newest AA-pro; "The People's Champ!" And speaking of AA-pro: Redline's top gun by the name of BUBBA HARRIS, was back in his grove and found his way back to the podium - putting the crowd on its feet with his first-turn swoops. Bubba's the first to admit that his first straight still isn't where it should be, but he also joked "I think these guys forgot how I can take turns." Apparantly so; as in every main event, Bub' was seen going from the back of the pack straight to the front. In main one, it was 8 to 3, only to get passed by Danny C down the next straight. Scribble our hero down for a 4th. In main two, Harris had lane 8 and blasted from dead-last to 2nd, and held on to it all the way. Now with 6 points going in to the final main event, Bubba was sitting 2nd in points and was coming out of lane 3. With Christian Bercerine in the lead, Bubba was sitting good and made his patented swoop to the front and began working his magic thru the rhythm section. A third place and 9 points for the day was just enough to put the 3-time ABA Pro Champ back on the podium for the second race in a row.
With Saturday's action being the USAC National Champs, 17 year old Denzel will be taking on the Junior Elite, while Bubba will be hoping to improve his USAC ranking by 1 ... last year, he took 2nd in Waterford. This year, he's hoping to swoop his way in to a stars' bars jersey!
On Sunday; the World will get to see how this years' Rookie sensation ca hang with the best in BMX - in the AA ranks, Will Denzel's zero-to-30 in 4.3 seconds horsepower take him straight to the front of AA? Can he do what no other rookie has ever done in their AA debut?

For the first time in BMX history, the ABA (American Bicycle Association) is teaming up with USA Cycling - to hold this years' highly important USAC BMX National Championships (i.e. the one race of the year where the winner takes the stars 'n bars jersey - as well as some precious points toward Olympic team qualification). Of course, Team REDLINE is hoping to make a little bit of BMX history of their own, here at Denzel Stein's hometrack of Metroplex BMX - the USA's first city-funded covered arena funded by hotel tax dollars.For home crowd favorite DENZEL STEIN, the rookie pro of the year nominee, a top finish in single-A pro would bump him over the $3000 mark and turn him in to a major leaguer, And with 4 to 6 bike length leads every time he got on the track, there was pretty much no one close to stopping him in his quest for victory. After going 1-1-1 in the motos, followed by 1-1-1 in the mains, please give a big round
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
