JB Racing/Can-Am/Liquid Wrench/Houser’s Big Buck GNCC Report

The Big Buck GNCC was rough and dusty with plenty of tree roots on the tight and technical track, and the JB Racing team was up to the challenge with their Can-Am maverick machines.

In the XC1 Pro SxS class, Larry Hendershot, Jr. jumped out into the early lead by grabbing the holeshot on the second row. “We got a great start off the line with our ITP tires grabbing the holeshot and had a significant lead going into the woods,” said Hendershot, Jr.

Hendershot, Jr. kept a fast pace and was looking strong out on the course. Hendershot, Jr.’s efforts paid off as he ran consistent lap times for the entire race. “We had a lot of fun out there. We were going really fast, but I clipped a tree late in the race and that slowed me down a bit, but overall I am really happy with how everything went. At the last round we had a bit of a belt issue, but Jody fixed that and we didn’t have any problems this round what-so-ever. JB Racing has done a great job, and I really can’t thank them enough,” said Hendershot, Jr. who finished third in his class and third overall.

Hendershot, Jr. is currently ranked fourth in GNCC XC1 Pro SxS series points, and he is determined to keep moving forward. “I think we have all the bugs worked out. We had a great race this weekend, and I think we are going to do even better for the next one. I just want to keep the forward momentum going and hopefully get a win next time,” he stated.

Tim Farr ran into a bit of bad luck for this round. Farr started on the fourth row and was looking fast and smooth. Farr was gaining time and moving toward the front of the pack, but while avoiding a bottleneck, he hit a tree root and broke off a wheel, ending his race. “I really felt like we could have won out there today. My JB Racing Can-Am was running great and felt good. We were doing well but we came to a bottleneck, and I tried to go around and hit a big root, and it ripped the wheel off. It’s unfortunate because I was really looking forward to winning,” said Farr.
