GNCC drops UTV's and expands to 12 rounds

It was a combination of things, many of which were correctly mentioned above, including the changing insurance market. But in the whole big scheme of things we produce motorcycle- and ATV-events, and a UTV is much more like a small car than a dirt bike. They really didn't fit well with all that we do on any given weekend GNCC. Electric Assist mountain bikes, on the other hand, are much more like a motorcycle than a car and fit well with our existing disciplines and the way a whole GNCC is produced with the spectators often able to roam the courses and woods.

Seems like a great way to "establish" the track before the bikes hit it, kind of grooms it and defines the outlines and turn up the dirt. Most of those tracks are only used once a year, and the dirt doesn't disappear, so it's hard to imagine that is the reason? It does work that would otherwise require a tractor.

One of the things that makes GNCC so popular is that the tracks are wide enough to have some racing room and not single track through the trees with bark busters all day.
