North Bay BMX held its second Redline Cup Qualifier on Sunday at Napa’s Kennedy Park. Some 195 riders competed in 41 heats, or “motos.”

On Saturday at the same track, North Bay BMX held its second State Championship Qualifier Race, with 223 racers competing in 46 motos. Riders from all over California, as well as Oregon, Nevada and New York, competed in the events.

On Friday, North Bay BMX held its second “Race for Life” event to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. With 127 racers in 28 motos, the event raised over $5,000 for the organization.

Each rider was required to pay a $20 entry fee, half of which was donated, along with donations collected by the racers over the month prior to the event.

Napa’s Seth Ponciano, 6, brought in the most donations with $865.
