Please note: even if you have attended other clinics this season, you can still attend any of these clinics and receive upgrade qualifications per the guidelines below.
What Is USAC BRP?
USAC BRP is open to Category 5 licensed racers over the age of 16, and is designed to develop a rider’s bike racing skills, allowing for safer and more enjoyable racing experiences. Riders who complete both the clinic and practice race will earn upgrade points, or have the events count as mass finishes. For a Category 5 racer, one (1) clinic completion counts as two (2) mass start finishes.
