Equipment and fines.
As I understand it, NRC races use UCI rules for equipment and fines, and
the USAC imposes rules for team limits in NRC races and the designation of
categories, all non UCI races are supposed to use USAC rules, a seemingly
contradiction. Like a 50/50 bar. NRC rules are imposed USAC rules. Non NRC
races like Merco this year allowed a bigger field for spring competition,
and free up NRC fees like UCI fees to be focused on prize money, instead of
increasing the power and control these organizations wield, while leaving
riders walking away with five dollars in prize money.
So quite a mix, you got UCI and non UCI races, NRC and non NRC races with
two sets of overlapping rules, and UCI and non UCI teams riding in these
races, at least there was last year, Lipton, and a few others, national
teams, composite teams, riders without teams, lone rebels and renegades,
Heinz 57, riders in exile on teams foreign to their native countries, and
riders switching teams in mid season, not to mention some riders have one
blue eye and one brown eye. Also, besides the 21 winners and U-Boat
commander Apey stated, this year they had an award for best picks by the
press for the winner, which included a podium for the press winner.
