On April 12 came the idea of a college race starting outside Flouston and finishing somewhere on campus. This first proposal included the "touch of novelty" of drinking a "large sip of unspecified liquid" on the switch of riders. No one knows who actually came up with the rider original idea, but Clayton Williams, Larry Whitmire, s and Fred Woods organized the first race. After discussions with the administration, the Inter- Collegiate Council, precursor to the RPC, finally inn c decided to hold the entire race on campus.

Feeling this was an unfair advantage, members of Hanszen History of Beer-B stole the bike just before the race and let their female rider Margie Wise use it on her lap. During the race itself, the Hanszen riders took shortcuts across the Year College ^975 quad and behind the library. Members of Wiess and Baker intervened and directed traffic for the Hanszen 1957 Baker riders, but Hanszen wasn't in the running anyway and 1958 Wiess 1976 was eventually disqualified.

The drinking age itself presented little problems as chuggers convened for nightly practices at Kay's Lounge. re The bikers also used the newest equipment and according to the 1966 Campanile, footbrakes were obsolete and gearshifts on the handlebars unheard of. Hanszen introduced "a most revolutionary innovation" — the push start, which "utterly failed" in 1960, but was successfully adapted and perfected in later years. After the first race, the course itself was shortened to the inner loop around Lovett Hall and behind the 1 RMC. The "Wash Rack Turn" (at the corner near Wiess and the tennis court, where students could wash their cars before Herring Hall was built) was the most treacherous part of the course since Saturday morning washings would leave the turn wet and soapy. 1964 was the first race without an accident or malfunction and records were broken in both chugging and riding. The old lap record of 1:59.8 was broken 15 times before the day was finished, with Ron Keating of Hanszen riding the fastest, turning in a time of 1:50.5. Homer Walker, also of Hanszen, downed his tall boy in a record 3.2 seconds, as Hanszen won easily and instituted a beer-biking dynasty which lasted until S' 1970.
