The Massachusetts State Championship Series provides a platform on which racers can compete for a state champion title.  During each state championship race, racers come from all parts of Massachusetts seeking a place among the best in the state.  Not only do riders get to complete on a state-wide level, but they also get to rack up some district points that go towards their earned district number for the following year!!

For full details on the 2007 State Championship series please refer to your 2007 ABA rulebook. (Online rulebook available at ababmx.com.)   

We would like to reiterate how important it is to keep tract of your state points throughout the entire season.  The ABA does an excellent job at keeping you informed of your state points throughout the season and keeping tabs on all the riders involved in the series.  However, if you find any discrepancies in your state points, it is very important to address these issues directly with the ABA IMMEDIATELY.  DO NOT wait until the day of the State Championship Final race to raise questions about your state points, as the points totals up to the SCF have been tabulated by the ABA and not by the track hosting the State Championship Final. 

State Championship Races
Each track in Massachusetts will hold their own State Championship Race (each of these races counts as a double district points event).  Here are the dates of the State Championship Races for the 2007 season.  Please check the home track's website for more information about the registration process and times. 

• Cape Cod BMX - Sunday June 10.   Please note, Cape Cod BMX has specific requirements for gaining access to their track, located on Otis Air Force Base which requires advanced planning...a pass application is available on the Cape Cod website...click here to get to their homepage for more information.
• Whip City BMX - Saturday, June  30th registration from 9 - 11, racing is at noon.  
• Billerica BMX - Sunday, Sunday 29th

State Championship Final
This will be the final race in the MA Championship series and will count as a triple points district event.  This race is one of the required elements needed to qualify for the state champion title.  The host track for the State Championship Final will be determined later in the season. 

Eligibility
To be eligible for your class championship title, you:

• MUST race at the required number of State Championship races (for the 2007 season, you MUST race in at least 2 of the 3 State Championship Races above).  If you race in all 3 of the State Championship races, your best 2 finishes will go towards your state points determination.  
• MUST race at the State Championship Final.  

Although any rider from any state can race in any of the state championship races or state championship final and receive the respective district points for that race, only a resident of Massachusetts can be eligible for a Massachusetts state champion title.

State Championship Classes & Awards Structure
Please refer to the rulebook for the ABA state class award structure.  Each age group State Champion (#1 for his class) will receive an ABA #1 state number plate, a custom award, as well as be included in the group champion photo for the BMXer magazine.  

Conduct
As always, you will be expected to maintain a high order of sportsmanship at all times.  Inappropriate behavior may result in disqualification or suspension.  See your ABA rule book for more information.  

Registration Fees
The registration fee at the June 30th Whip City BMX State Championship Race will be $20. 

All other ABA rules apply to the state championship series as outlined in the ABA rulebook.   The ABA rulebook will reside over any rule discrepancies. 

As always, BEST OF LUCK TO ALL RACERS!
