MORGANTOWN, W. Va (October 17, 2008) -- Racer
Productions, the producers of the Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country (GNCC) Series, has
revised the previously-announced dates for the
2009 GNCC tour. The final two 2009 rounds will
move back one week to accommodate the 2009
International Six-Days Enduro (ISDE), which will
be held October 5-10 in Figueira da Foz,
Portugal.
“We announced our dates in July, but we're
happy to move them to fit the ISDE schedule,”
says GNCC Traill Boss Jeff Russell, a multi-time
ISDE Gold Medallist himself. “We're proud of the
GNCC racers that compete in the ISDE every year,
and we want them bring home more medals next
year.”
Locations for each of the 13 rounds will be
announced at a later time.
