Can you believe it's been 20 years since James Hardee brought BMX racing back to Napa?
North Bay BMX has continued to thrive over the years thanks to the leadership of its Track Operators. Our Autumn Jersey Series is designed to honor those individuals while rewarding today's riders for their commitment to racing.
The challenge is simple: Participate in at least 8 of the 16 remaining race events left on our 2026 calendar – that's it. You'll have opportunities every Thursday and Saturday through December 15.
Don't worry, we'll continue awarding our usual trophies, Saver Stamps, and Track Bucks each week to racers who earn them.
But, it gets even better...
Everyone who qualifies for a 20th-Anniversary Commemorative Jersey will also become part of a soon-to-be-formed "Hub Club," unlocking special "Jersey Night" perks throughout our 2027 season!
What makes this all-more meaningful is its history. The artwork we're using is a replica of the first and only track jersey North Bay BMX ever produced, and we're bringing it back with the very same manufacturer — Stile Industries / Phoenix Team Sports!
So, whether your family walked alongside James Hardee, Eric Jones, Ray Gomez, Eric Bolen, Stephanie Forrest, or Damian Ostertag & Alissa Menchaca, know that you helped strengthen our community, and added to our success and longevity.
An extra-special acknowledgment goes to the City of Napa for giving us a home, Don & Debbie Nichols, who started it all back in the 1980s with Napa Valley BMX, and Greg Kleist, who later took over operations until the flood project forced the track's closure in 2001.
*Series is open to all active USA BMX members in Open Racing, regardless of home track designation. Simply show up and race — we'll keep track of your event count!
