Loretta Lynn's GNCC Postponed Due to Rain
Morgantown, W. Va. (April 27, 2011) - Recent
inclement weather conditions at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills,
Tenn. have made it impossible to adequately prepare the course for the
Parts Unlimited Loretta Lynn's GNCC this weekend, April 30 - May 1.
As a result of extreme rains, the GNCC course and parking area is
under water. After discussion with local public safety officials, it
has been determined that Racer Productions has no choice but to postpone
this event for the safety and well-being of all riders, fans and
families.
"Last evening's rain was harder and longer than I have ever witnessed at
Loretta Lynn's," said Trail Boss Jeff Russell, a veteran of three
decades of racing and organizing events at the Ranch.
Racer
Productions is working closely with Loretta Lynn's management team and
Humphreys County officials to determine a date for rescheduling. That
information will be released as soon as it is available. Racer
Productions and the GNCC team apologize for the inconvenience.
The 2011 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series heads to Gosport,
Ind. in two weeks, May 14-15, for the first annual Indy 100 GNCC. ATV
racing will take place on Saturday, followed by bike racing on Sunday.
