BMXNOW is heading to the sweltering South this weekend to bring you story and photos from the ABA Wiregrass Nationals in Dothan, AL. In much the same way as nobody who is from there calls Los Angeles “LA,” we have been advised to ease-off on the “Sweet Home Alabama” references. Well, the opening chord springs eternal in our memory, so if one slips out, please forgive. We have stocked the iPod playlist with Southern Rock favorites, and even packed a shirt with the arms cut off.

Watch for story and photo gold to start surfacing late Friday night, and on through the weekend. Follow “BMXNOW” on Twitter for as-they-happen updates from the infield. We need to find out what “wiregrass” truly is, so if any of you want to point some out to us, we’d be much obliged.
