XC1/XC2 (Bikes): The following riders are required to compete in either the XC1 or XC2 class:Ī.The following riders are eligible, but are not required, to race XC2 250 Pro:
The XC2 250 Pro Class is a stepping-stone from the A classes to the XC1 Pro class. For example, if you race “A” in IXCR, FTR, Mid-South, Mid-East, OMA, etc., you must race “A” in GNCC. Riders do not get to "drop down" a class for the GNCC Series.
This applies whether your series is an AMA series or not. So if you race B in your local district or local series, you will ride the B class in GNCC. If you race in any other series, keep this in mind: whatever class you race in your local series (i.e., A, B or C) you MUST also race in the GNCC Series. Also, the ATV XC1, XC2, Sport, Schoolboy, and all of the 4x4 and Youth classes, are production classes and require an OEM-based motor and matching frame combination (the rules for these classes are also explained below).Ī rider of the proper age can also race an age class, such as Vet (30+) or Senior (40+), with any Bike or ATV. The rules for these classes are explained below. However, modifications are limited in the ATV 90cc Limited classes. The “C” class is strictly a beginner's or novice class and is for riders who have not been ranked in the top five of their class from the previous year and earning at least 50% of the points earned by the class champion in the previous year’s GNCC. The Trail Rider class is strictly for those riders who are in their first year of competition ever.Same for bike racers - a rider with a Suzuki RM-Z450 can race the Open A, B, or C class or one of the age classes, but we recommend they start in one of the C/Novice classes and work toward the other classes. We recommend riders start in a morning class, such as the Trail Rider or C/Novice class, and then work their way to the B/Intermediate and then A/Expert divisions as they gain experience and speed. Classes are dependent on your experience and speed, not the equipment. For example, an ATV rider with a Suzuki LT-Z400 can enter either in the Trail Rider, C, B or A level classes, depending on his age and skill level. Remember these are long races – so your ability and fitness will make a bigger difference than what you’re used to riding. This depends mostly on your age and riding ability, and also on your machine’s engine size, type and modifications. Between 8 and 10 seconds after the '10 seconds' call, the starter will wave the green flag, and the race is on! Any rider taking off with the wrong row will be penalized, and any rider that misses the start of their class must enter the racecourse at the starting line and complete the start chute. In addition, the announcer will yell "10 Seconds." At the '10 Seconds' signal, all crew members must step away. Then, the starter will hold out his left arm, signifying 10 Seconds to the start. After the blue flag, the start is approximately 30 seconds away. The blue flag will signal all riders to turn off their engines.
Riders line up by class on their assigned starting row on a first come basis when directed by that race official.Īll starts are dead engine (engine off) with the exception of Micros which are live engine. First, riders, pit crew members, machines and equipment are not permitted on the starting line until a race official officially opens the starting line. We’ll explain the start procedure at the Riders Meeting, but we’ll also do it here.
