GNCC Back at Maddix

Round 4 of the MotoSR sponsored Grand National Cross-country Championship (GNCC) will be held at Maddix Park in Tauranga on 21st November.

Why Maddix?

"It’s a new venue for the series, but an old favourite," says event and series organiser Paul Whibley, himself a two-time winner of the USA GNCC and six-time winner of the USA Off-Road Motorcycle series as well.

"I’m excited to bring it in for 2020. I raced at Maddix a number of years ago during breaks back from GNCCs in the States and loved it. Lots of variety, technical in places, flowing native bush, and great spectator viewing on the MX section.
I have had a bulldozer going round ready for Saturday. Pushing out some ruts, widening, linking brand-new tracks and extending the lap length. The riders are going to have great fun".

Callum Dudson, Seth Reardon, and Ethan Harris are amongst the serious contenders to watch out for, according to Paul. But the best 5 results from six rounds held throughout the North Island are counted, so everyone is still in with a chance. Check out the riders and current standings on Silver Bullet

Cross country racing is for all ages. It is fantastic to see dads, sons, brothers, mothers, daughters, and friends lining up in hot competition, to watch enthusiasm battling experience. With Junior, Senior, Women and Vets classes, everyone is catered for.

Riders enter on the day. And there is no licence required.

So, how about it, all you trail riders out there ? Challenge yourself to catch or keep up with that one rider ahead, and come and have a blast !

Junior race start is at 9.30am. Seniors start at 12 noon.

Venue: Maddix Park, 465 Rowe Road, Ohauiti via Welcome Bay, Tauranga

Fingers crossed for sunshine.

Paul himself won’t be competing, he’s doing the organizing and some marshalling.
