Racer Productions
Announces 2010 Grand National Cross Country
Proposed Pro Rules
Morgantown, W.Va. (November 19, 2009) - Racer
Productions, producers of the Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country Series, has announced the
proposed rules for the 2010 tour in the XC1 and
XC2 pro classes.
These proposed pro rules are tentative, and
will not be finalized until the GNCC Rider
Meetings that follow the GNCC Awards Banquet on
December 4-5. This allows the GNCC community
time to view the rules and allow for a public
comment period.
The most significant proposals highlighted
are for the bike classes. Racer Productions has
established a minimum age requirement that will
be implemented over a one-year grace period. The
2010 minimum age requirement for the XC2 Pro
Lites class will be 15 years old and 17 years
old for the XC1 Class. In 2011, these ages will
increase to 16 and 18 years old for the
respective classes.
The second proposal for bikes allows the use
of 250 two-strokes in the XC2 Pro Lites Class.
This change is consistent with the AMA Amateur
Racing Rulebook.
The proposed rules can be viewed by clicking
here.
After the banquet rider's meeting the
tentative amateur rules will be posted for
public comment as well.
To provide suggestions or comment on the
proposed rules, please email Technical Manager
Jeff Canfield at
Jcanfield@gnccracing.com. Jeff Canfield,
Race Director for MX Sports Pro Racing, has been
recently assigned to the position of Technical
Manager for GNCC Racing.
The 2010 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series begins with the West Gate River Ranch
GNCC in River Ranch, Florida, which runs
February 27 through March 2, as part of Bike
Week.
