Amherst, OH (10/11/2007) -
KTM Motorsports, Inc. and Farr Racing Enterprises
(FRE) are proud to announce the 2008 Pro ATV GNCC
Team with new recruits Adam McGill and Taylor
Kiser.
West Virginia’s Adam McGill, 2005 ATVA
Amateur Rider of the Year and 2005 Most Improved
GNCC Rider of the Year, is excited to ride for
a factory team in 2008. “I feel that KTM
will be a good fit for me, they offer excellent
support and I admire how the company presents
themselves on a professional level. I am also
thrilled to work with Tim (Farr) because after
winning multiple Pro ATV Championships I know
I can learn a lot from him,” stated McGill.
McGill has been racing professionally for two
years and currently sits 5th in the ATV GNCC
points with two rounds remaining.
McGill’s friend and competitor Taylor
Kiser (who sits 6th right behind McGill in points)
will be the second half of the two-man team.
“I’m glad Adam signed on, I know
there will never be a dull moment,” stated
Kiser after hearing McGill signed. Kiser ranked
5th in the Pro-Am (XC-2) class last year and
is now currently competing in his first year
as a Pro (XC-1) rider. In only his third year
racing GNCC events Kiser is elated to ride for
a factory team, “I’ve had a chance
to ride the KTM and it is a strong bike that
I know can run up front. I know KTM has a strong
background in the off-road motorcycle segment
and I feel confident that will carry over in
the ATV off-road side as well.”
KTM North America, Inc. unveiled its new 2008
KTM 450XC and 525XC Sport ATV’s in late
August. Since then, KTM rider Tim Farr has won
three championships aboard his KTM machine.
Farr who signed on to help develop the KTM line
of sport ATV’s will also manage the 2008
KTM ATV GNCC Team. Farr has impressed ATV enthusiasts
throughout the year after winning the ATVA Extreme
Dirt Track Series, NASMOTO ATV Supermoto, and
ATV EnduroCross championships. Farr will continue
to compete in the Extreme Dirt Track Series
as well as other select events next year in
addition to overseeing the new GNCC Team.
With the launch of the KTM Sport ATV’s,
it was the right time to select a team for the
2008 season. Tim Farr worked closely with Kurt
Nicoll, Director of Racing for KTM, to select
riders for the 2008 GNCC Team. “I’m
pleased to be involved with GNCC Racing and
KTM Motorsports, Inc. I truly believe we have
signed strong riders in McGill and Kiser, both
riders have excellent championship potential
in 2008,” stated Farr. Both riders have
signed one-year contracts with KTM for the 2008
GNCC Series
