Rekluse XC2 Pro-Am
ATV Holeshot Award Returns to GNCC Series
Morgantown, WV (2/5/2009)
- Rekluse, maker of the popular Rekluse
Z-Start Automatic Clutch, returns to the Can-Am
Grand National Cross Country tour as an associate
sponsor for the 2009 season. In addition, following
the success of Rekluse riders grabbing numerous
GNCC holeshots last season, Rekluse will once
again sponsor the GNCC XC2 Pro-Am Class ATV Holeshot
Award, worth $100 at each GNCC round.
"Our first year of full involvement with
GNCC gave us an opportunity to meet a lot of racers
and allowed us to showcase our products,"
said Patrick Koether, sponsorship program manager
at Rekluse. "But in this case it's really
the riders showcasing the products. Not only are
we honoring whoever gets the holeshot, but in
many cases, they are Rekluse sponsored riders.
That is always an exciting thing for a manufacturer."
In the GNCC ATV XC2 class, the rider who gets
the holeshot receives the $100 Rekluse Holeshot
Award. In 2008, 10 of 13 XC2 holeshots were grabbed
by Rekluse riders.
To kick off the 2009 campaign, the Rekluse Roadshow
will be on hand at each of the first six rounds
of the GNCC season, providing technical and sales
support for GNCC racers.
"We got to know the GNCC program last year,
and we will hope to step that up this year,"
Koether said. "We'd like to bring new riders
to the table. We're just really excited to be
involved with GNCC racing."
