Can-Am GNCC ATV Racing
2010 Grand National Cross Country Proposed Pro
Rules
Morgantown, WV (11/21/2009)
- Racer Productions, producers of the
Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series, has
announced the proposed rules for the 2010 tour
in the XC1 and XC2 pro classes. These proposed
pro rules are tentative, and will not be finalized
until the GNCC Rider Meetings that follow the
GNCC Awards Banquet on December 4-5. This allows
the GNCC community time to view the rules and
allow for a public comment period.
The most significant proposals highlighted are
for the bike classes. Racer Productions has established
a minimum age requirement that will be implemented
over a one-year grace period. The 2010 minimum
age requirement for the XC2 Pro Lites class will
be 15 years old and 17 years old for the XC1 Class.
In 2011, these ages will increase to 16 and 18
years old for the respective classes.
The second proposal for bikes allows the use
of 250 two-strokes in the XC2 Pro Lites Class.
This change is consistent with the AMA Amateur
Racing Rulebook. The proposed rules can be viewed
by clicking here. After the banquet rider's meeting
the tentative amateur rules will be posted for
public comment as well.
To provide suggestions or comment on the proposed
rules, please email Technical Manager Jeff Canfield
at
Jcanfield@gnccracing.com. Jeff Canfield, Race
Director for MX Sports Pro Racing, has been recently
assigned to the position of Technical Manager
for GNCC Racing.
The 2010 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series begins with the West Gate River Ranch GNCC
in River Ranch, Florida, which runs February 27
through March 2, as part of Bike Week. For more
