ALL-NEW CAN-AM GNCC WEB SITE LAUNCHED TODAY
NEW FEATURES ENHANCE ONLINE EXPERIENCE

GNCC Racing Web Site New Design |
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (Jan.
25, 2008) – The Can-Am GNCC Series
launched its completely redesigned web site
today at
www.gnccracing.com. The new site, which was
completely redeveloped in-house, showcases many
new features to enhance users' online experience
of America's largest off-road racing series.
Along with a redesigned layout and several
new multimedia features, the site will also
feature live timing and scoring at each of its
13 events this season. In addition, the Series
will stream its PA announcers during the Pro
portions of each event. These new features are
facilitated by GNCC's purchase of a Motosat
portable high-speed satellite Internet unit,
which will be utilized by GNCC staff at each
event.
GNCC will also use a state-of-the-art email
distribution system to communicate with its
fans, its racers and members of the media with
breaking news from the track, as well as regular
announcements and features. To sign up to
receive the latest news about the GNCC Series,
fans can click the Mailing List button on the
homepage at
www.gnccracing.com. Racers can register to
receive rule change or clarification updates and
event notices on the Competition Bulletins Page
under the “Racers” tab.
"With unprecedented growth last season, we're
pleased to continue to take the GNCC Series to
the next level," said Carrie Coombs Russell, CFO
of Racer Productions, which promotes the Can-Am
GNCC Series. "We're using cutting-edge
technology and best practices to communicate
with the media, our fans and our competitors.
This new web site is certain to help bring the
world of GNCC racing to a new level in
cyberspace."
The 2008 Can-Am GNCC Series kicks off at the
Triton GNCC in Melbourne, Fla., with ATVs
hitting the trails on Sunday, March 2 and
motorcycles on Tuesday, March 4.
