The class not only houses the growing amount of 125 two-stroke machines in off-road racing, but also serves as a transitioning step for younger riders who are up-and-coming, as well as riders in the more senior part of their career looking to compete at an elite level.

“We are extremely proud to have FMF back on board as the FMF XC3 125 Pro-Am class sponsor,” said GNCC Event Director, Tim Cotter. “Having a premier class sponsored by a brand as popular as FMF not only brings prestige to the FMF XC3 class, but also to the entire GNCC Racing Nation.”

FMF’s support will allow for a $13,000 purse exclusively for the FMF XC3 125 Pro-Am class. In addition, OEM contingency is expected to return and will be announced as it becomes available. Wiseco will once again provide a $100 holeshot award.

GNCC Racing kicks off at the 22nd Annual Maxxis Big Buck GNCC in Union, South Carolina the weekend of February 24 and 25.
