That year, Frenchman Christophe Lévêque, was the actual points winner. He was not awarded the title or the automobile prize that went with it due to a rule in the ABA rule book that required the winner of the ABA No. 1 Pro title to be a U.S. citizen. Lévêque was permitted to race the season and collected points, but the rule remained, as another ABA rule prevented rule changes from being made during a race season. As a result, Ellis was rewarded the title. The controversial rule was changed for the following season. United States Bicycle Motocross Association (USBA) None
