NEW BERLIN, N.Y. (Sept. 25, 2008) -- Fans in
attendance of this weekend's Can-AmTM 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
