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.
