CHAPARRAL BEST All-AROUND RACER
|
The Chaparrals have two traveling awards for Best All-around Racer (BAR) of the year, styled after a long-time British tradition. We have an
Off-Road BAR and a Road BAR. Points are accumulated by racing in either USAC-sanctioned or outlaw races (the outlaw races must
have been designated as a "race". For example, the Steamin’ Wheels in Abilene is a bona-fide outlaw race, but the Tour de Muleshoe
is simply a tour where people like to hammer. Use the below listed points schedule to figure your points. The BAR point structure covers both
road and off-road events; however, racers will indicate whether their points apply to the Road BAR or Off-Road BAR. Cyclocross races can be
counted for either one of the two categories, depending on the racers preference.
