American Suzuki continues its support of the AMA Grand National Cross Country Series through a large 2007 contingency program totaling nearly half a million dollars, making it the largest GNCC motorcycle contingency program in the industry.
“We support the GNCC series because it's grass roots racing and we fully support those types of riders,” said American Suzuki's Off-Road Contingency Coordinator, Brian Noah. “We've always had one of the biggest programs in this series, and we fully support off-road racing in all forms around the country.”
Indeed, Suzuki's $459,225 GNCC bike payout is the largest of any in the series, and it covers classes from GNCC Youth riders on 85cc machines all the way to the Super Senior classes. For more information, check out www.teamsuzuki.com.

“We've increased the contingency money available to Yamaha riders at this year's GNCC series, which confirms our dedication to the series and its riders,” says Yamaha Racing Division Department Manager Mike Guerra. “Even more impressive is the fact that we have consistently maintained a very high percentage of payout in the series. More riders ride and win contingency with Yamaha than on any other brand.”
