Off-Road Legend Terry Cunnignham
to race DS450 ATV for BRP
Racer Will Compete at The John
Penton GNCC on aCan-Am DS 450 X xc ATV
Valcourt, Canada (6/3/2009) - Multi-time
off-road champion Terry Cunningham plans of giving
ATV racing a shot after an extremely successful
career on dirt bikes. Cunningham hails from the
state of Ohio and is choosing the famed John Penton
GNCC near Millfield, Ohio as the race to test his
off-road skills with an extra two wheels. He will
line up this Saturday with a Can-Am DS 450(tm) X
xc against some of the best amateur off-road racing
competition in the world.
"To have a legend like Terry Cunningham
decide to come over to the ATV side is an event
in itself, but to have him do it on a DS 450 X
xc is terrific news," says Jimmie O'Dell,
Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "The
combination of Cunningham's off-road skill and
the DS 450 X xc should prove to be a formidable
one out on the course Saturday."
The multi-time International Six Days Enduro
(ISDE) gold medalist and four-time national enduro
champion will make his ATV debut in the Senior
A class. He will put his 41-years of racing experience
to the test as he has only a handful of hours
experience racing ATVs. According to Cunningham,
he is looking forward to the challenge.
"God has blessed me with an opportunity
to chase another adventure and take on a brand
new challenge as I plan to race the John Penton
GNCC event this weekend," says Cunningham.
"ATV racing is one part of the off-road industry
I haven't competed in and I'm thrilled that Can-Am
has provided me this opportunity to compete in
this event aboard the new Can-Am DS 450 X xc.
This weekend's race in Ohio could be real entertaining
for everyone to watch an old dog learn some new
tricks!"
