American Honda Offers
Over $150,000 in GNCC Contingency for 2009
Morgantown, W. Va. -- Long-time GNCC
supporter Honda has announced their contingency
programs for the 2009 Can-Am Grand National
Cross Country series. Contingency payout for
bikes and ATVs totals $159,575.
While the Honda Red Riders Rewards program
focuses primarily on amateur classes, Honda will
also pay the XC1 and XC2 pro classes on both
bikes and ATVs. For ATV riders, Honda offers
$300 to the XC1 Pro and XC2 Pro Am Class winner,
$200 for second place and $150 for third.
"We kind of spread the love around this year,"
said Keith Dowdle, Assistant Manager of
Motorcycle Shows and HRCA. "We tried to pay a
few more classes this year. We expanded the
program to include more classes, especially as
they relate to the vet classes, +30 and +40
classes. We try to make it a number where it
will affect the largest number of customers."
The Honda program offers contingency from GNCC
Youth classes all the way up to the pro ranks on
bikes, and covers a variety of ATV classes. For
