2012 GNCC ATV
/ UTV Supplemental Rules & Classes Announced
Grand National Cross
Country Series Tentative Supplemental Rules &
Classes
Morgantown, WV (12/23/2011) -
Racer Productions, producer of the Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country Series, announces today
the tentative Supplemental Rules and Classes for
the 2012 GNCC Series. The Supplemental Rules and
Classes have been reconstructed with much consideration
and input from industry leaders and competitors
within the sport and will remain open for public
comment until January 1, 2012.
Class structure on the bike side has undergone
relatively minor changes for next season. Highlights
include the addition of the Girls (9-14) class,
as well as the newly restructured Women's Amateur
class-providing intermediate and novice racers
of any age a place to compete outside the premiere
Women's class.
"A majority of the changes in both Supplemental
Rules and Classes came directly from our competitors
and sponsors at the rules meeting held after this
year's awards banquet," said Jeff Russell,
GNCC Trail Boss. "GNCC is a grassroots sport
and we will continue to honor input from our racers
and sponsors in order to move the series forward."
On the ATV side, the age classifications for
several of the Vet and Senior classes have been
restructured for 2012 in order to increase competition
levels and promote advancement.
As we continue to grow our UTV (Side-by-Side)
classes, minor class adjustments have been made
to homologate the GNCC class structure. Therefore,
the premiere UTV class will be XC1 Modified, the
limited class will be XC2 Limited, and UTV Novice
has been added for competitors with less experience-while
the Single Seat class remains unchanged.
