To steal a quote from someone who posted a comment on chris lotts' blog, the truth has three sides, yours, his and the truth.

I'm curious as to what the deal is between CBR and USAC. I've read Chris' blog and from his side, he thinks that USAC is really a for profit entity trying to screw the little guys and put them out of business so they can increase their market share and fatten their own wallets. Furthermore, he thinks that they are run by a bunch of incompetent fools who are running cycling into the ground. He's obviously very vocal about his disdain towards them. What I want to know is, what is USAC's side of the story? Why do they no longer accept CBR points? They did last year and for several years before that but have since stopped. I tried to use a couple CBR races for an upgrade but was denied. The only thing they would tell me is that USAC has sent a cease and desist order to any CBR points towards upgrades, no reason was given as to why CBR is no longer recognized. So what is their story? Are they really trying to cut down the competition? Is the truth somewhere in between?

Apparently Oregon, Colorado and a few other states have had problems with USAC as well, are Lotts' complaints the same as these states?
