FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rausch Creek to Host Four National Race Events in 2004

Rausch Creek Motorsports Park announces an exciting calendar of race events for the 2004 season that includes four National race events. We will once again be hosting the Grand National Cross Country series on May 15th-16th which will see the worlds best cross country riders squaring off against each other in one of the toughest racing series in the world. The GNCC race will be held in a separate location from the MX & ATV Park.

ATV racers will get a chance to show their talents on July 17th and 18th. Saturday the 17th will start with the first set of motos for the National Quad Racers Association round # 7. For those of you who really like to spend a lot of time on your quad you will be able to continue racing through the evening with round # 3 of The 6 Hours of ATV America. This event is a precursor to The 12 Hours of ATV America in Ft. Dodge, Iowa. Sunday the18th will see the second set of motos for the NQRA event. There will also be a Utility Quad challenge held during the weekend.

The AMA National Hare Scramble series will make a stop at Rausch Creek on August the 15th. This series is contested by many of the same factory and amateur racers that run the GNCC series. This is a motorcycle only event that will be held at a separate location from the MX & ATV Park and will also count as a District 6 points paying event.

At the Local level we will be hosting two regional AHRMA Vintage Motocross events and one District 6 regional hare scramble. The AHRMA events are run on our Intermediate Motocross track and Natural Terrain track. If the names Bultaco, Penton, Can-Am, Maico, BSA, and Elsinore Honda mean anything to you then Rausch Creek is the place for you on April the 15th and September the 11th. On September the19th Rausch Creek will have its 5th Annual Fall Hare Scramble. This race is a favorite to many with the course being very technical and fun. This race is always a challenge and usually sees some of the nations top pro riders in attendance.

2004 will be an exciting year at Rausch Creek Motorsports Park, come out and enjoy it with us. For more information contact the MX Park office at 570-695-3864 or the business office at 570-682-4600 or you can find more information on www.rauschcreekracing.com

The total length will be in the 6-8 mile range. You will need headlights for this race, as the last 1-1.5 hours will be held during the night. When you get out to the woods section there will be a lot of areas that have multiple option lanes just like the 12 Hour.

hey what quad are you building?

[jlhughes750]

I believe the rules state that if any of the team members have competed in the A class of GNC or GNCC then all of the team must run A...... But if only one of the team has run Pro before then the entire team in eligible for Pro. our team is running A.. we are all A riders locally in D6 and A riders at the GNCC's..... I don;t think they will allow a local or GNC A rider to compete in the B class.

I found the banner on ********.com and they have rules posted...read them carefully, there are alot of penaltys to be handed out at this race for not following procedure.... I have printed the rules out and given them to our team mechanic.. so we are sure not to be penelized for anything... ie. wrong guys working on the bike...or tow in procedures after breakdowns...etc.etc.etc.

we will be down there selling stuff most likely on the boardwalk.

It is one hell of a weekened and it is so sick.

Last year at the drags a guy had a suzuki 1000 motor in a lt 500r frame and a huge bottle of NOS( he was drag racing it) he smoked about everyone there.

My dad and bro raced last year and they have one big finishing table top which they do freestyle on.

[seatec]

Cool, thats sounds like a lota fun. ALways wanted to ride on the beach.
