Grand National Cross Country  - GNCC Racing Series ATV News Press Releases


2010 Proposed ATV & UTV GNCC Racing Rules & Classes

Morgantown, WV (12/20/2009) - Racer Productions, producers of the
Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series, has announced the proposed
rules for the 2010 GNCC tour in the Amateur, Pro and UTV classes.

These proposed rules are tentative until December 28. This allows the GNCC
community 10 days to view the rules and allow for a public comment period.

"As always, we take into account our racers' feedback when crafting new
rules," said Jeff Russell, GNCC Trail Boss. "We learned a lot from our
riders' meetings a few weeks ago, and we think the new rule book will work
well for everyone."

The most significant proposals involve the Pro 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 classes
will be 15 years old and 17 years old for the XC1 Pro classes. 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 creation of the Women Vet (30+) class allows women over 30 the chance
to compete against riders of their age.

For Amateurs on both bikes and ATVs, Class Championships will be determined
by the rider's best finishes in a minimum number of 8 events, where
previously 9 were required. National Numbers will be assigned based on
overall finishes in a minimum of 8 events, with as many as 11 events
counting.

On the ATV side, there has been an addition of a Utility Senior (40+)
class. The Women's class displacement has been capped at 450 to match XC1
and XC2 Pro-Am equipment.

There are also changes in the UTV and youth classes that can be found when
reading through the rules that are linked.
