The pros were given a points system just like the amateurs. A first in the Main will earn a AA pro 240 points, second 200, 160 for third and so on until sixth place would be worth 40 points. As in the amateur divisions the pros would earn rider points. The top ten pros would be determined by this points ranking.
] It seems the USBA was making most of the aggressive moves. The motivation for rivalries like this was the $2 million to $4 million in revenue yearly that BMX generated at the time. Track operators had quite thin profit margins to work with, which perhaps made the back biting even worse since there was so little to go around.
It can travel up to 45 miles per charge and has a lower height than its predecessors, making it ideal for shorter people. This bike can also easily handle up to 350 pounds of weight. There’s nothing like a global pandemic to reignite the country’s love of biking.
The USBA, suffering its own financial dire straits, sold it back to Hutch who in turn sold it to the ABA. Several ABA tracks left the ABA and joined Roker to participate in his series which were to be NBL sanctioned. With this siege mentality in his background it was easy for Mennenga to believe that USBA stole the valuable ABA membership records to proposition ABA Schwinn Meridian racers to join the USBA. While the value of this list would be a motive to steal it, Mennenga provided no evidence. The magazine had left the ABA on the verge of bankruptcy. The rising costs of the insurance crises of the early 1980s, with its skyrocketing rates, affected every sanctioning body, but given the ABA’s greatly weakened state it, was life-threatening.
Redline/Gold Cup races are a series of regional championship events that are held mostly for the benefit of the amateur racer with a No.1 plate on the line for the overall winner of the age and classification. It originally was a one-off Jag like Championship race on November 27, 1981, in which the competitors just had to come in the top 100 in their districts to compete. It became a six race qualifying series in 1982 held in conjunction with standard nationals. Like in its inaugural year, the Championships was held the day before the ABA Grand Nationals in Oklahoma as a pre race.
The pros wanted a bigger purse that would be spread out over eight places, instead of the top four at ABA Nationals. This would ensure anyone making nationals would get a share of the winnings. The claim was that while NBL, NBA, and independent promotional race purses went up over the years, the ABA purses remained relatively stagnant. ABA races only warranted brief comments and listings of race results.
