Morgantown, W. Va.
-- On Monday night, March 2, the popular Moose Racing Mechanic's
Challenge will again determine the fastest wrench and rider combination
in the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series. The special event
will take place after the free Parts Unlimited dinner, held during the
opening round of the 2009 GNCC tour, the Parts Unlimited River Ranch
GNCC in Lake Wales, Florida.

"We want to recognize the true talent behind the scenes, because
GNCC races are often won and lost in the pits," said Parts Unlimited's
Rob Buydos, who will organize the event. "I know that some top
mechanics have been practicing this event in search of the lucrative
cash prize."

Each rider will begin with a dead engine start, GNCC style, before
blasting down a straightaway, stopping and putting his bike on a stand.
From there, a mechanic must remove the bike's rear wheel, run around to
the other side of the bike, and then bolt the wheel back up. The rider
then restarts the bike and blasts back toward the start area to stop
the watch. A special time bonus will be given to anyone who can do a
front "stoppie" and transition the bike onto the stand at the finish.

"Last year we ran the event on sand, but this year we will run on
paved pits, so I think the chances of someone pulling off the elusive
stoppie onto the stand are very good," says Buydos. "We will also add a
special twist, an additional challenge, that we'll announce at the
event."

The cash purse will be generated through fan donations during the
Parts Unlimited dinner. Last year's Florida purse hit $600, and the
Am-Pro Yamaha tandem of Jason and Darryl Raines snagged the prize. Team
Raines will attempt to defend their crown against the winner of the
Moose Mechanic's Challenge from last year's Ironman GNCC in Indiana,
Joey Mauer and Jason "UK" Thomas of the Monster Energy/Andrews Yamaha
team. Jimmy Jarrett and mechanic Jimmy Woodford of the GEICO/JG Racing
Kawasaki team has committed to the event as well, with several other
pro entries expected.

The event takes place at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, after the free Parts
Unlimited dinner for racers concludes. Dinner begins at 5:30 p.m., just
after Monday practice concludes at 5 p.m.

The Parts Unlimited River Ranch GNCC features a full four-day GNCC
schedule, with ATVs practicing on Saturday, February 28, and racing on
Sunday, March 1. Bike riders practice on Monday, March 2, and race on
Tuesday, March 3. On race days, the pro-events begin at 1 p.m. Two-day
passes, which included full pit access, cost $15, and tickets are
available at the gate. For more information on the event, go to www.gnccracing.com
