National Series

The 2010 NBL National Series will include all National and Regional races between the dates of September 20, 2009 and August 31, 2010. National standings are listed by the age you will be the day of the Grands 2010.

All National and Regional races are single national points. The 2009 & 2010 NBL Regional Championship races and the 2009 U.S. Open Invitational race are considered Regional races for single points. It takes any 6 National Series races (Nationals or Regionals) to be qualiﬁed to earn a numberplate at the 2010 NBL Grand National. To calculate your National points, the best 6 scores are used (only 2 of these scores may be Regional scores) plus the 2010 NBL Grand National. The Grand National is also single points. Your points will not be listed in the standings if your license is expired (”E” instead of points), if we never received a copy of your birth certiﬁcate (”B”), or if your NBL membership application was not signed (”S”). Race the National Series and test your skills against the best riders in the country!

National Series races are OPEN to all riders with a valid NBL Race License.
