This season was highlighted, among other things, by the success of the 2011 PA road and track BAR series. The series is more than offering riders top quality events to race their road and track bikes. The series are a culmination of the PCA working with promoters to finalize race dates and BAR standards, working with Marty and Ben to bring the track series to one Tuesday and Saturday a month at the VPCC, ensuring the best in finish line services with the Big Guy Group, coordinating with Ellen Dorsey to staff the events with some of the best officials in the country, and to make the series better and better each year. I want to thank everyone involved from the PCA board and committee members, to the great group of dedicated officials and promoters we have in PA/WV, to the riders and their supportive families and friends who are at the start/finish line all season long. Congrats to the champions and those who pushed them to the limit each and every race:
