Snowshoe GNCC - Round 9
Snowshoe, WV (6/25/2016) - The 2016 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship, continued today, June 25, with the AMSOIL Snowshoe GNCC held at the popular Snowshoe Mountain Resort in West Virginia. "America's toughest race" lived up to its nickname after an abundant amount of rain fell in the days prior to the race creating slick and muddy conditions for the world's fastest off-road ATV racers.
