 Wade Bootes wins ABA Fall Nationals in Del Mar
The ABA Fall Nationals have always been some of the best pro racing of the year, but the 2000 version proved to be just a notch better. In a new venue, the race was possibly the best on the ABA's tour this year, with an awesome track, including a giant pro section, a great facility, and a great staff, the ABA outdid itself with a great race. There was a lot at stake for the pros, as this was the last chance to get points and have a chance for the ABA pro title. With 40 AA pros, it was the toughest ABA race all year.Wade Bootes has had a story book year with 11 ABA pro wins, A Norba Dual Slalom win, and the UCI world Championship Dual title. The only way Wade could top all of that was with a win at the Fall Nationals to Katapult him into the pro points lead. Well, Wade did just that on Sunday. Bootes rode super strong and took 2 of the 3 main event wins. Wade goes into the Grands with the points lead and one more mission to complete! Bootes will be looking to add a AA title to his Pro Cruiser title he earned back in 1996.  AA Saturday
