2011 Can-Am GNCC
Series ATV Racing Schedule Announced
Grand National Cross
Country Series
Morgantown, WV (12/28/2010) -
Racer Productions, producers of the Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country Series, announce the schedule
for the 13-round 2011 GNCC racing tour. While
the dates for the events were announced previously,
the series locations are now available, including
the announcement of several new facilities.
The Indy 100 GNCC in Gosport, Indiana joins the
tour for the first
time on May 14-15, and the Rock Run GNCC in Altoona,
Pennsylvania debuts on May 28-29. The location
for one other
GNCC round, on September 24-25, will be announced
shortly.
GNCC officials are currently exploring venues
in the Northern
Pennsylvania or Western New York region.
"We're excited to head to these new locations,
as well as our
existing tracks," says GNCC Trail Boss Jeff
Russell. "Indiana and
Pennsylvania have a long history in this series
and we expect
plenty of fans to come and cheer the racers, and
plenty of racers
to enjoy these new tracks."
The Altoona, Pennsylvania, race will effectively
replace the Somerset, Pennsylvania round that
ran in 2010, as the two locations are within about
20 miles of each other. The Gosport, Indiana,
race, hopes to capitalize on the popularity of
the Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Indiana, which
is usually one of the biggest events of the year.
The series once again opens with the River Ranch
GNCC in River Ranch, Florida. As part of the annual
Daytona Bike Week schedule, ATVs will practice
on Saturday March 5 and race on Sunday, March
6. Bikes will practice on Monday, March 7 and
race on Tuesday March 8.
