2005 Suzuki GNCC Series Coming to Television
Weekly Bike and ATV Shows on Outdoor Life Network Starting
April 5
Morgantown, WV - The Suzuki Grand National Cross
Country Series is heading out of the woods and into your television
set, as the 2005 Suzuki GNCC Racing Series heads to the Outdoor
Life Network. Each week, OLN will air half-hour GNCC shows,
with 13 episodes each for bike and ATV action.
The shows begin on Tuesday, April 5th, at 5
p.m. EST, with the first episode re-airing on Thursday, April
7th, at 11 a.m., and again Saturday at 2:00 p.m. New shows
will air each week in those Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
time slots. The shows are hosted by the veteran GNCC announcing
team of Jason Weigandt and Rodney Tomblin.
GNCC racing has partnered with Gear Media and
Marketing in the new TV venture, which promises bigger action,
cooler angles and more excitement than any season of GNCC
TV before. Famed Blackwater 100 video producer Bill Artzberger
has lent his expertise to the production process, ensuring
each show captures the toughness, the fun and the speed of
GNCC action, as well as the engaging personalities of the
racers - all hallmarks of the series.
In addition, extended DVD versions of each race
will be available at each Suzuki GNCC event and online via
mototees.com. The DVDs are each over one-hour long and contain
footage of amateur classes that can't be shown on the OLN
TV broadcasts due to time constraints.

Country series is America's premier off-road racing series.
