The 2022 Specialized Turbo eMTB GNCC Series kicked off on Saturday, March 12, with the General GNCC in Washington, Georgia, to an energized roster of 87 racers. Specialized rider Charlie Mullins, two-time AMA GNCC eMTB National Champion, took the win over another Specialized rider Nick Mackie. The battle has continued throughout the season as Mullins sits just six points ahead of Mackie in the Championship battle.

With the continuation of the FIM North American Championship status, the pro field will no doubt flourish. The event will also feature a “Canadian Compound” to welcome our friends to the north - the Ontario Action Sports Association (OASA) and its athletes. Canadian riders who wish to compete should contact the OASA at info@oasa.club for details on licenses and support in the Canadian Compound at the event.

Having the event in conjunction with the 41st anniversary of the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship will show our world class athletes and state-of-the-art eMTB equipment.”
