Minto, ND
(December 19, 2011) - The United States Cross-Country Racing Association
will have a new racing class for the 2011-2012 season geared toward
girls age 10-15. The Girls 10-15 class will operate under the same
rules as the Junior 10-13 class with eligible sleds being 380cc or
smaller fan-cooled or Expert class sleds with gear reduction.
"There are
a bunch of girls racing against the boys in the Junior class right
now," said USCC Race Director Jesse Strege. "We want to
get these girls their own class so they can race each other and hopefully
it will be a stepping stone for them to enter the Pro Women class."
Complete rules
and gearing charts are available online at www.usccracing.com in the
rules. The gearing chart and eligible sleds can be seen in the Appendix
section of the rules.
The USCC season
is set to being December 31, 2011, with the Grafton 100 in Grafton,
North Dakota. For more information on the USCC National Guard Cross-Country
