Hey guys, if you are looking for a cheap frame for your junior and mini needs, check the link. I've purchased several hundred $$ worth of stuff from them and have been happy every time.

They have DB mini and Jr frames for $40. If you look around, I'm sure you'll find more stuff you can use. Shipping on orders over $100 is free!

Congrats on the move-up!!!

Kids did great again.  My 8yo on his first Intermediate race picked up a 3rd place trophy out of 5 racers. And my 13yo novice picked up a 1st place out of 6 racers.  Awesome Weekend.

Great Question Moose!  Some one please explain!

ABA...race as entry level Novice until 8 wins.  Go to Intermediate for another 25 wins.  Go to Expert after that.  And so on.
Cruiser is an open class.  Will do age levels depending on number of riders.  Youngest is 8 or 9 and under. 

We do $45 membership for class bike.  $35 for cruiser.  Both per year.  Average $12 per race and $5 per practice. 

Some one with more experience can chime in. 

Isn't NBL rookie for the whole first year?

My bad I ment 15 for rookie and 20 for novice. I know we will race inter-aba, just not sure how the motos are run/ I have heardthat in aba if you win a moto you automaticly go to the main,where as in NBL you must run all 3 motos. Not sure if we are going now. My son twisted his ankle and had to stay home from school 2day!  Going 4a x-ray when I get home. We BOTH REALLY want 2go to this race because its aba. Me,I just want to see how its run and he thinks aba is KOOL because we have been watching the races on verus-he wants 2b on tv! The aba has been trying to convert some of our tracks-not against it or for it-just want to RACE!!

Here's the rule book wording...

XIV. The ABA Transfer System
The ABA recommends the use of the ABA Transfer System for qualifying riders from heat races (motos) to main
events. This system is not mandatory except for multi-point events. A track operator may use any system that fits the
track’s locality. When the ABA transfer system is not to be utilized, that track operator must submit to the ABA a
detailed description of the system to be used. Upon approval by the ABA Competition Committee, that different
system may be initiated. The ABA Transfer System proceeds as follows:
1. A rider will transfer (qualify) out of his/her respective moto by attaining an appropriate finish. Qualifying finish
spots will be predetermined on the moto sheet.
2. Once a rider qualifies for a semi or the main event, he/she does not race again until that time. Doing so
may result in disqualification.
3. With the ABA Transfer System, only a class of nine riders shall have its final round of qualifying motos combined.
4. Any track operator has the option of running a 2-moto-transfer system at their discretion.
5. At all National, Redline Cup Final & Race of Champion events, the ABA will limit qualifying to a total of 2 rounds.
6. The ABA US Open and the Grand Nationals will operate under the 3-moto-transfer system for qualifying.
The ABA Transfer System is a very unique way of qualifying riders from the motos to the main events at each race.
This system is the fairest to the rider and the easiest for the parent or spectator to understand. The system involves
each entire set of motos being run a predetermined number of times (2 or 3) to qualify riders to quarter-mains, semimains
or directly to main events depending on the number of riders competing. The following are examples of how the
qualifying works and are all based on an eight rider gate: (When riders are referred to as qualified, it means they have
transferred out of their moto and into the next applicable race. These riders will not race the remaining qualifying
motos, if any remain.)
Under the 3 moto transfer system:
Class of three or fewer riders—1 group:
First round—total points
Second round—total points

No main event.
(The third round can be run in the third round of qualifying motos or included with the main events.)
