Western Classic 2011
Format, SPECIAL RACES AND THEME

Divisional barrel racing, using the 4D format, is the basis of the Sharon Camarillo Classic. Divisional barrel racing gives ALL competitors – from beginners to advanced, from youth to seniors – a chance to compete, learn and succeed in barrel racing. The divisional format encourages riders to improve their skills and work toward the higher divisions, while still having a chance to be competitive.

There are three Go rounds, each on a different day. The Classic is limited to 200 contestants to make the experience enjoyable for everyone, with downtime to spend with family, associates and friends.
