Moto-X-Country Returns to Pro National
at High Point
Third-annual motocross and GNCC hybrid
race hits Memorial Day weekend
Morgantown, WV (5/15/2006) - Racer Productions,
producers of the Suzuki Grand National Cross Country Series
and the Monster Energy/Kawasaki Pro National at High Point
Raceway, announces the third-annual Moto-X-Country event
will take place on Saturday, May 27th as part of the 30th
Annual High Point Pro National Weekend, round two of the
AMA/Toyota Motocross Championship.
"This race
is a lot fun for us, and we can't wait to do it again,"
says Racer Productions Jeff Russell, who builds the
GNCC and Moto-X-Country courses. "We'll run the
traditional loop out back of High Point, with a few
new twists and turns thrown in."
Moto-X-Country has drawn both GNCC and motocross racers
in its first two years, including eight-time GNCC Champion
Barry Hawk, who won the pro overall at the inaugural
event in 2004. Several of the area's top motocross racers
have competed in the event as well, including Pittsburgh's
Kevin Hoge, who raced in 2004 but had to skip the '05
event so he could qualify for the Pro Motocross National
across the hill.
In fact, Moto-X-Country makes the perfect compliment
to the motocross practice and qualifying that will take
place on the revised High Point National Motocross track
on the same day. Moto-X-Country signup begins at 7 a.m.
on Saturday. Racing begins at 9 a.m. Each race lasts
45 minutes. There is no practice. The starts will be
dead engine. Classes will start on separate rows, one
minute apart, and each session begins on the hour. The
Pro Bike class will race at 2 p.m. Adult ATVs will race
at 4 p.m.
The entry fee for each class and each 45-minute moto
is just $25. Motocross racers who compete in the Kawasaki
Team Green Spring National at High Point Raceway on
Friday receive a $5 discount on Moto-X-Country. Their
entry fee is $20. For more information, check out the
