Racer Productions Announces $50,000 Snowshoe
GNCC Payout
$10,000 paid to
winner of bike and ATV race
Morgantown, W.Va. (June 17, 2009) - Racer
Productions and MotorcycleUSA.com is pleased to
announce the official payout details for the
$50,000 purse for the MotorcycleUSA.com Snowshoe
GNCC, round nine of the 2009 Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country Series, which runs June
27 and 28 at Snowshoe Mountain Resort. The event
will pay a bonus of $10,000 to the overall
winner of the bike and ATV races, a bonus of
$5000 for second overall, and $3000 for third.
The Snowshoe GNCC features the roughest terrain
seen all year, with deep mud bogs, massive
boulders, tree roots and near-vertical hill
climbs. The race winners will definitely earn
the added bonus money.
"This is an extraordinary opportunity for
off-road racers around the world," said Tim
Cotter, event director. "The MotorcycleUSA.com
Snowshoe GNCC will offer the biggest purse in
the 30-year history of GNCC history. All you've
got to do is tame the toughest course of the
year. Good luck boys!"
The purse will be split for the ATV and bike
race days, offering $10,000 to the overall
winner of each race-on top the normal take home
award of $1,000 for winning the XC1 pro class or
$500 for wining the XC2 Lites and Pro-Am
division. The rest of the prize money is split
between the other top finishers. Essentially,
the event pays the typical $14,000 GNCC purse,
and then adds $18,000 each day in bonus money
for the top-three overall finishers.
In addition, specialty awards will also be given
out for holeshots and other awards as they have
been all season.
