BMX racers from the across the state gathered at Santa Maria BMX this weekend for a pair of “extra point” races.
Sunday’s Bob Warnicke Scholarship Program race, worth “quadruple points,” raised funds for a National Bicycle League program to support students and their families with the costs of undergraduate studies and trade schools. Warnicke, who had an active role in BMX as a rider and promoter, died in 1994.
On Saturday, a “double points” race held in memory of Steve Dennell, who died in May 2007, benefited local riders. Dennell was a former registered racer with the National Bicycle League and owner of R Country Markets in the Santa Ynez Valley. Pictured above, Spencer Oberlin takes to the skies during practice at the track.
