2012 GNCC ATV
/ UTV Racing Series Schedule Announced
Grand National Cross
Country Series New Locations to be Added
Morgantown, WV (11/17/2011) -
Racer Productions is pleased to announce the 2012
Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series dates.
America's largest off-road racing series will
once again kick off its 13-round schedule in Florida,
coinciding with Daytona Bike Week, March 10-13,
and wrapping up at Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane
Mills, Tenn. November 3 and 4 for a unique fall
finale-consisting of motorcycle racing on Saturday
and ATV racing on Sunday.
"In order to avoid scheduling over top the
historical ISDE in September, we have pushed the
final round into November again, running the bikes
on Saturday so they can also participate in the
National Enduro finale," said Trail Boss
Jeff Russell. "As a former ISDE competitor
and National Enduro champion, nobody understands
the importance of these events more than myself,"
said Trail Boss Jeff Russell.
Next year's schedule brings back several racer-favorite
venues that will run in their usual time slots,
with the addition of a few brand new locations
for 2012. Snowshoe Mountain will play host to
America's toughest off-road race once again on
June 23 and 24 in Snowshoe, W. Va., which traditionally
serves as a mini vacation for GNCC Racing families
amongst the mountain's spectacular amenities.
"We've listened to feedback from the GNCC
community and decided to add fresh venues to the
circuit next year. While all 13 locations have
not been officially finalized, we're confident
that these changes will add an element of excitement
for both racers and fans," added Russell.
The GNCC task force is working hard to finalize
the last couple locations for 2012 and they will
be announced before the GNCC Awards Banquet in
December. In the meantime, it's important to release
race dates in order to plan for next season.
The 2011 GNCC Champions and top ten class finishers
will be honored at this year's GNCC Awards Banquet
December 2 and 3 in Morgantown, W. Va. at the
Waterfront Place Hotel and Convention Center.
The top 10 ATV/UTV racers in each class will receive
awards on Friday, December 2 and the bikes will
celebrate on Saturday, December 3. Dinner begins
at 6 p.m. each night and advanced reservations
are required. For more information on the banquet
or to reserve a room at the Waterfront Place Hotel,
