colorados ACA has a reasonable reciprocity agreement so we're fine on that front.

our current USAC drama is that the UCI has suddenly decided to enforce its rule barring uci racers from competing in events not sanctioned by national bodies. apparently, according to the aca director, USAC has the discretion to override this rule, and allow pros to race in regional events, but are currently choosing not to. the end result is that no UCI. racers can participate in ACA races which make up about 90% of colorados race calendar.

this sucks for the pros who used our events to train, it sucks for our promoters who lose participants and publicity, it sucks for our development teams who used to routinely get to race and learn from world class talent. really nobody wins, and as far as i know the USAC hasnt responded to ACAs concerns.

ACA is certainly not without its problems but this seems like a really petty turf war using our scene as hostages.
