2011 Can-Am GNCC
Series SxS/ UTV Racing Schedule Announced
Grand National Cross
Country Series
Morgantown, WV (1/11/2011) -
Racer Productions, producer of the Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country Series, announces an updated
schedule for the 13-round 2011 GNCC Racing tour.
While the series dates and locations were announced
previously, the updated schedule for the GNCC
UTV and 50cc bike classes is now available.
The six-round UTV series will kick off on Saturday,
March 12 at the Maxxis General GNCC in Aonia Pass
in Washington, Ga. Side-by-side UTVs have been
a part of the GNCC tour for three seasons, with
the challenging GNCC courses pitting the vehicles
against real off-road terrain like hills, mud,
rocks and trees.
The Indy 100 GNCC in Gosport, Ind. joins the
UTV tour for the first time on May 14, and the
Rock Run GNCC in Altoona, Pa. debuts on May 28.
The rest of the UTV rounds are set forth in the
schedule below.
This year, three rounds of the GNCC Series will
feature 50cc racing for bikes under the co-sanctioning
of the AMA National Eastern Hare Scrambles (NEHS)
and Western New York Offroad Association (WNYOA).
Now taking place on Saturday afternoons, 50cc
racing will debut on April 30 at the Parts Unlimited
Loretta Lynn's GNCC in Hurricane Mills, TN.
Over the years, GNCC Racing has celebrated its
strong relationship with co-sanctioning partners
in order to provide riders with the opportunity
to earn points not only for the GNCC Series, but
for their local series as well.
"We're always happy to work with great organizations
such as SE&TRA, WNYOA, Mid-America, IXCR,
PAHS, local AMA districts and the National Hare
Scramble Series," says GNCC Trail Boss Jeff
Russell. "We understand that riders want
to take a shot at the GNCCs, but also compete
for their local championship, and co-sanctioning
just brings in more riders for both."
