Rekluse Holeshot
Award Returns to GNCC Series
Morgantown, W.Va. (February 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."
