With only 3 more races plus The Grands to count for the No.1 title, REDLINE’s BUBBA HARRIS is sitting on top of the charts once again after scoring wins both days in Delaware–at the First State Nationals (Oct. 14 & 15). With the season winding down and only a few chances left to “up” your score, all of the top AA-pros converged in Delaware, in what may certainly be the tightest contended battle for the Pro title this decade. Compared to the past two years, Bubba has been in unfamiliar territory lately – sitting as low as No.5 in points, due to injuries throughout the season.

As of today wethepeople has a new US team. Added to the USA team are:

-Chester Blacksmith (USA)
-Mike Brennan (USA)
-Ty Morrow (USA)

In addition to the existing, frankly down right amazing team*:

- Dave Osato (N.America/Canada)
- Travis Collier (N.America/Canada)
- Sam Lowe (N.America/Canada
- Alejandro Caro (S.America/Colombia)
- Stephen Lilly (USA)
- Brian Terada (USA)

We also have two very welcome additions to the UK team:

Round 12 of the 2006 ABA BMX Pro Series tour rolled into New Castle, Delaware this past weekend for some exciting Pro racing action. With the ABA Pro title still up for grabs with the top 4 AA pros in points right now, it would be an important weekend for each of the Pros looking to add the ABA Pro title to there list of accomplishments. All 3 of the Double A Marketing riders in attendance just returned from France last weekend from the UCI Supercross event. Randy and Kyle both represented the USA to help obtain a top spot for the USA in national team selection for the 2008 Olympic Games. With just one more weekend of the ABA Pro series and the ABA Race of Champions left to gain points before the ABA Grands, it will be some exciting racing coming down for the top 4 AA Pros.
