Here's a quick update on the new BAR rules for 2012.
| Sponsor | Rule description | Result |
Ruth Sonya | Riders must declare their category before either online registration or race day
registration closes. Start list as rendered to the chief judge will be the ultimate decision.
| Pass |
| Ruth | All BAR races must provide results to USA Cycling/VCA within 2 3 weeks (21 days)
after the race. If the promoter
fails to do this, the race will not be granted BAR status the following year. | Pass |
| Bill | Masters may not collect BAR points outside of their age group. This
change removes the "Masters are allowed to race down" rule. | Defeated (8-7) |
| Pete | Promoter VCA to provide free entry for "Wounded Warrior" military. If promoter
is unable, the VCA will pay entry fee. | Pass |
Jeff Parker | Only one BAR event is allowed per day. If two events are
BAR events on the same day, promoters must work it out/change dates or both risk losing BAR
status. Races under consideration must be on the calendar by the annual meeting. | Pass |
| Ruth | (Proposed at meeting) Reduce the VCA rider fee from one dollar per day to fifty cents
per day. | Pass |
