Randy Hamilton claimed 2nd in Pro-Am &
finished an impressive 10th Overall at
the Camp Coker GNCC

Round five of the GNCC series arrived at an all-new
facility for 2016. Moree’s Sportsman’s Preserve
in Society Hill, SC would host the inaugural running
of the Camp Coker GNCC. The new track offered
some unexpected conditions for riders as they
learned they would be dealing with a sand track
that would become whooped and rutted out as the
race wore on. The weather was hot and humid with
temps in the 80’s, so it would prove to be a grueling
2-hour race in the dust.
As the green flag waved McClure struggled to
get off the starting line and went into the woods
around seventh. McClure quickly made his way to
sixth position where he would find himself most
of the day in an intense battle for the final
spot on the podium.

championship

“I am struggling with starts, but other than
that I am feeling great out there. Today went
ok it was an intense battle for that third position.
I swapped positions with Neal a few times and
ran some good laps with Borich. We want to be
battling like that for the win, not for third,”
said McClure.
DWT’s McClure found himself in the fifth position
going onto the last lap where he and Chris Borich
were able to hook together and set a super fast
pace. They were able to run down and get by Cole
Richardson, and at the checkered flag McClure
missed the podium behind Borich by only seven
seconds.
“We ran strong all day today, and fourth is a
great finish, but its’s not where I want to be.
I know if I can get out front early I can run
the leaders pace and be there at the end. Now
fifth in points, I will get a better pick on the
starting line and hopefully get better starts,
“ said McClure.
JMR’s XC2 Pro Am racer Randy Hamilton just missed
the holeshot again at the start of the race and
settled into third place early on. Hamilton battled
with Westley Wolfe and Greg Covert the first few
laps as they began to gap the rest of the field.
Covert hit a tree allowing Randy to get by him
and into second place where he would remain until
the finish.
