AERC Qualification Criteria
However if you are not qualified for the Championship, you may ride for (only) AERC miles and completion points if you are willing to (1) be a drag rider, or (2) sponsor a junior. If you do not begin the event as the original junior sponsor, you will ride at your own pace, but you must be willing to step up as a sponsor in the event that the original sponsor is eliminated, leaving the Junior unsponsored. Your position on the course, and the position of the junior will determine if you are asked to take on the responsibility. In the case of riding as a drag rider or non-qualified junior sponsor you will still pay the entry fee and you will receive a completion award and recognition.
