2012 GNCC Series Dates Announced

Racer Productions has announced the 2012 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series dates. Once again, the series will kick off its 13-round schedule in Florida, coinciding with Daytona Bike Week, March 10-13, and wrapping up at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. Nov. 3-4 for a unique fall finale-consisting of motorcycle racing on Saturday and ATV racing on Sunday.

“In order to avoid scheduling over top the historical ISDE in September, we have pushed the final round into November again, running the bikes on Saturday so they can also participate in the National Enduro finale,” says Trail Boss Jeff Russell. “As a former ISDE competitor and National Enduro champion, nobody understands the importance of these events more than myself,” says Trail Boss Jeff Russell.

Next year’s schedule brings back several racer-favorite venues that will run in their usual time slots, with the addition of a few brand new locations for 2012. Snowshoe Mountain will play host to the GNCC once again on June 23-24 in Snowshoe, W V.

“We’ve listened to feedback from the GNCC community and decided to add fresh venues to the circuit next year,” says Russell. “While all 13 locations have not been officially finalized, we’re confident that these changes will add an element of excitement for both racers and fans.”

The GNCC task force is working hard to finalize the last couple locations for 2012 and they will be announced before the GNCC Awards Banquet in December. In the meantime, it’s important to release race dates in order to plan for next season.
