GNCC Racing Series
ATV Youth Production 0-300cc (13-15) Class at
Final Two Rounds
New class previews 2007, will run
during 10 a.m. morning race
Morgantown, WV
(9/28/2006) - Racer Productions,
producers of the Suzuki Grand National Cross Country
Series, announces they will run a new class at the final
two rounds of racing in the 2006 season. The Youth Production
class is for riders aged 13-15, on production-based
machines up to 200cc (two-strokes) and 300cc (four-strokes).
The class mirrors the Youth Production class utilized
in the ATVA National Motocross Series for the last few
seasons.
The class will race during the 10 a.m. GNCC morning
race at the FMF Power Line Park GNCC in St. Clairsville,
Ohio on Saturday, October 7, and will run again at 10
a.m. at the Klotz Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Indiana
on Saturday, October 21.
The new class provides a stepping stone for riders
in the GNCC Youth ATV Series, which races at 8 a.m.
on Saturday mornings and allows for ATVs up to 90cc.
If the two rounds this season are successful, Racer
Productions will add them into the full 2007 GNCC Series.
A few special rules apply for this class. ATVs can
not have their displacement reduced to fit the 200cc
or 300cc limits (400cc or 450cc ATVs can not be de-bored
or de-stroked in order to race the class). Also, at
these final two rounds only, racers will be permitted
to race in the 8 a.m. Youth race and again in the new
class during the 10 a.m. race. This move allows riders
battling for points in the Youth series to also try
the new class.
All machines must follow the GNCC Production Rule:
OEM motor and matching frame combination model required.
Engine modifications, frame reinforcements and frame
modifications to permit longer rear-wheel travel are
permitted.
