Fans can ride new Can-Am ATVs
During Unadilla GNCC Race
New Berlin, NY (9/25/2008)
- Fans in attendance of this weekend's
Can-Am Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) race
at Unadilla Valley Sports Center will have the
opportunity to test ride and view a display of
the entire 2009 Can-Am ATV Line. The test-ride
program is free with paid admission to the event.
Each demo rider will also receive a free goodie
bag, which include: a bandana, a wristband and
a t-shirt along with a $250 gas coupon.
This is all part of the Can-Am GNCC weekend,
which features the world's top off-road motorcycle
and ATV racers competing on Unadilla's motocross
track, as well as trails through the deep woods
surrounding the venue. The event is Round 11 of
the 13-stop GNCC tour.
"We believe that the only way to truly experience
the capabilities of our Can-Am ATVs are to put
one to the test in a real-world situation,"
said Del Bohlman, Product, Media Relation and
Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "That's
the goal behind our Demo Ride Program, to allow
ATV enthusiasts to get the Can-Am experience first
hand. All of our 2009 ATVs will be at Unadilla,
giving participants the ability to test ride our
entire product line and determine which ATV model
suits them best.
"Plus, it's a lot of fun," concluded
Bohlman.
Spectator passes are $15 for the full weekend,
with pro pit access and pro autographs included
at no additional charge. Saturday's program includes
ATV racing, while Sunday features motorcycle competition.
On both Saturday and Sunday, youth riders race
at 8 a.m., amateur riders race at 10 a.m., and
the pro and pro am classes compete at 1 p.m. For
