Amherst, OH- KTM
Motorsports, Inc. and Farr Racing Enterprises
(FRE) are proud to announce the 2008 Pro ATV
GNCC Team with new recruits Adam McGill and
Taylor Kiser.
West Virginia’s Adam McGill, 2005 ATVA Amateur
Rider of the Year and 2005 Most Improved GNCC
Rider of the Year, is excited to ride for a
factory team in 2008. “I feel that KTM
will be a good fit for me, they offer excellent
support and I admire how the company presents
themselves on a professional level. I am
also thrilled to work with Tim (Farr) because
after winning multiple Pro ATV Championships I
know I can learn a lot from him,” stated McGill.
McGill has been racing professionally for two
years and currently sits 5th in the ATV GNCC
points with two rounds remaining.
McGill’s friend and competitor Taylor Kiser (who
sits 6th right behind McGill in points) will be
the second half of the two-man team. “I’m
glad Adam signed on, I know there will never be
a dull moment,” stated Kiser after hearing
McGill signed. Kiser ranked 5th in the
Pro-Am (XC-2) class last year and is now
currently competing in his first year as a Pro
(XC-1) rider. In only his third year
racing GNCC events Kiser is elated to ride for a
factory team, “I’ve had a chance to ride the KTM
and it is a strong bike that I know can run up
front. I know KTM has a strong background
in the off-road motorcycle segment and I feel
confident that will carry over in the ATV
off-road side as well.”
KTM North America, Inc. unveiled its new 2008
KTM 450XC and 525XC Sport ATV’s in late August.
Since then, KTM rider Tim Farr has won three
championships aboard his KTM machine. Farr
who signed on to help develop the KTM line of
sport ATV’s will also manage the 2008 KTM ATV
GNCC Team. Farr has impressed ATV
enthusiasts throughout the year after winning
the ATVA Extreme Dirt Track Series, NASMOTO ATV
Supermoto, and ATV EnduroCross championships.
Farr will continue to compete in the Extreme
Dirt Track Series as well as other select events
next year in addition to overseeing the new GNCC
Team.
With the launch of the KTM Sport ATV’s, it was
the right time to select a team for the 2008
season. Tim Farr worked closely with Kurt
Nicoll, Director of Racing for KTM, to select
riders for the 2008 GNCC Team. “I’m
pleased to be involved with GNCC Racing and KTM
Motorsports, Inc. I truly believe we have
signed strong riders in McGill and Kiser, both
riders have excellent championship potential in
2008,” stated Farr. Both riders have signed
one-year contracts with KTM for the 2008 GNCC
Series.
