BRP Wins 12-hour ATV Race in Texas
Can-Am Outlander Leads Utility Class
from Start to Finish
Valcourt, Québec, December
10, 2007 – From the starter's gun to the
checkered flag 12 hours later, Rick Cecco,
Michael Swift and Cliff Beasley piloted Can-AmTM
OutlanderTM 800 ATVs to the front of the Utility
Expert class in the 12 Hours of ATV America
endurance race held last month near Greenville,
TX. The team never looked back and its lead was
never in doubt for the entire duration of the
race.
"We look to races like the 12 Hours of ATV
America as a proving ground for the durability
of our machines," said Bernard Guy, ATV
marketing director at BRP. "Everyone at BRP
Can-Am is proud of the effort put forth by the
racers, and, of course, that the Outlander has
proven itself once again."
As part of the Warnert Racing / Can-Am X-Team
Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) team, Cecco,
Swift and Beasley became a close-knit team as
they raced with and against each other over the
season. This edge added to the performance and
reliability of the Can-Am ATVs led all three
riders to win GNCC championships earlier this
year and they were happy to add another trophy
to the team's case.
"It was a great race and we enjoyed the
course that was laid out," commented Cecco.
"Michael (Swift) and Cliff (Beasley) rode
extremely hard and it felt good to start out in
front and stay there the entire race. The
Outlanders we rode were the perfect machine for
an endurance race like this, we couldn't have
asked for more."
Look for the three riders to defend their
GNCC championships aboard Can-Am ATVs in 2008
out of the Warnert Racing / Can-Am X-Team race
hauler.
