BMX riders at Camarillo's Freedom Park

Camarillo's Freedom Park BMX Raceway will be hosting a state championship race Saturday.

Practice and race registration is 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with racing to begin after 1.

Admission is free.

As part of the USA BMX Southern California State Championship Series, BMX racers from all over Southern California will be coming to race at Freedom Park for the event.

The weekend action then continues Sunday for the second of the area's state championship races at Santa Barbara's Elings Park BMX Raceway.

Practice and race registration is 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with racing to begin after 1.

Richard and Andrea Huvard and partner Frank Marino operate both facilities and have recently partnered with Erick and Lea Kozin of Ventura-based ride and race apparel company, Nema Cycling, to bring yet a third track to the region in Ventura.

With BMX racing about to make its second appearance in the Olympics in London, there's no better time to head out to the tracks to check out the local talent.
