Whittier Narrows BMX Thursday Racing & Advanced Clinic — November 19, 2026

About this event

Whittier Narrows BMX pairs its Thursday local race with the track’s current advanced rider clinic on November 19, 2026. The exact USA BMX event record (event 657714) is active and lists on-site registration from 5:00 to 7:00 PM PST, with racing at 7:00 PM. Its description explicitly identifies “Thursday Night Racing and Advanced Rider Clinic.” The track’s current first-party Instagram material names Factory SE rider and former pro Courtney Tomei as the Thursday clinic coach, sets the clinic for 5:00–7:00 PM, and describes it for intermediate and expert riders working on pumping, gate starts, body position, bike control, race strategy and passing. The current first-party flyer publishes a $30 clinic fee plus a $15 race fee, with bounce/balance-bike racing listed at $10. The official track-hours page independently lists Thursday practice/racing at $15 with a 5:00–7:00 PM sign-up/practice window; the exact November 19 USA BMX event page controls with a 7:00 PM race time. No advance checkout is linked. Register on site during the published window and contact the track before travel if you need a clinic reservation, temporary membership, loaner equipment or clarification on payment. Missing online preregistration does not mean the event is closed. All riders practicing or racing on the sanctioned track need a USA BMX membership or an eligible track-issued temporary membership and signed release. The track’s current membership page offers a one-day novice trial acquired at the track, a $40 60-day membership, a $40 Balance Bike/Stacyc membership and an $80 full membership, but the exact occurrence does not promise that every temporary category can enter every class or earn points. Minors need a parent or legal guardian to sign required membership and waiver documents. General USA BMX classes are based on age, gender, proficiency and wheel size; exact November 19 motos, class combinations, awards and results timing depend on entries. Whittier Narrows BMX sits inside the Los Angeles County recreation area in South El Monte. The sanctioned track requires a safe bike with working brakes and no pegs, an approved helmet, long pants, a long-sleeve shirt and closed-toe shoes; first-time loaner availability should be confirmed. The balance-bike program covers ages 2–5, uses manufactured no-pedal bikes with tires no larger than 12 inches and requires riders to navigate the track unassisted. The exact event does not publish a capacity, waitlist, refund or transfer policy, clinic reservation cutoff, spectator fee, parking fee, accessibility process, food service, weather threshold, makeup date, finish time, livestream or replay. Check @whittiernarrowsbmx or call the track on event day because the outdoor dirt surface and operations can change with weather or maintenance. Verification update (November 5, 2026): the exact USA BMX occurrence 657714 publishes the November 19 date, the 5:00–7:00 PM on-site registration window and the 7:00 PM race time, while the organizer’s current Thursday Night Thunder post reconfirms the recurring Thursday format — $15 racing, Courtney Tomei’s race clinic from 5:00–7:00 PM for $30, and $10 bounce-bike racing, with racing to follow. A reliable event-day forecast is not yet available this far out. Finish, awards and closure times remain unpublished.
