Valcourt,
Québec - BRP will provide more than U.S. $2 million to support its
industry-leading Can-Am ATV and Side-By-Side Racing Contingency program in
2013. Along with additional racing series, more classes added and expanded
side-by-side participation for 2013, BRP has included the all-new Maverick
1000R side-by-side to the list of eligible Can-Am ATVs and side-by-side
vehicles.
Regional
and national racers who compete on Can-Am ATVs and side-by-side vehicles in Canada and the United States are eligible for a
cash payout through the program for the 2013 racing season.
"Racing
continues to play an integral role in the Can-Am DNA and has aided product
development and innovation at BRP. We continue to offer performance ATV and
side-by-side vehicles, like the new Can-Am Maverick 1000R, that appeal to both
professional and amateur racers," said Jimmie O'Dell, Can-Am race manager.
"Offering a class-leading contingency program and an amateur racing support
program is our way of adding incentive to those racers who choose to compete
with our products and join the Can-Am family."
By
competing in an authorized racing series on an approved Can-Am vehicle, participating
racers can be eligible for a cash payout. Cash payouts are awarded to racers
who meet the terms of the contingency program and are based on a racer's overall
finish at a qualifying event. Payments are mailed to the participants or their
legal guardians.
Racers
who win a class championship will be awarded additional contingency at the end
of the season. An archived file of complete U.S. and Canadian contingency
submission forms and racing series schedules for both ATV and side-by-side
racing is available in both English and French at http://bit.ly/13nanzD.
Contingency
cash is paid out in all major U.S.
national racing series, including the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC)
series, AMA ATV Motocross series, World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS)
and High Lifter Mud Nationals as well as numerous local off-road racing series.
The list of qualified racing series has expanded for 2013 to include even more
forms of racing, from desert competitions to hare scrambles and endurance
events in both the U.S. and Canada.
