Rick Cecco took second place in the 4x4 Open class at the River Ranch GNCC Season Opener

Shermansdale, PA (3/17/2011) - Rounds one and two of the 2011 GNCC series held plenty of excitement for Cecco Racing's Rick Cecco as he came on strong at round one, taking a strong second in the 4x4 Open class.

The sandy soils of Florida were good to Cecco as he got off to a good start and charged is way up from a third place start to claim second in his class. His strong performance also allowed him to take a respectable sixth place overall in the morning classes.

“Florida went well for me. At the end of the day we brought home some valuable championship points,” said Cecco. After a successful round in Florida, and only one short week to rest up and get ready, Cecco headed to Aonia Pass in Georgia for “The General” where instead of sand, thick heavy mud was the name of the game for round number two of the 2011 GNCC series.

At the start of the race, Cecco was in fifth place going into the woods in the first lap and was gaining ground. Cecco quickly picked off the competition and worked into the number three spot and began to hunt down second place. With only two laps left in the race, Cecco was closing in on second, but then suddenly, he snapped the rear pinion gear in his differential only a few miles into lap four. “"My Powerbar/G-Force Can-Am Outlander ran great today. I struggled getting up thru the pack from a poor start while Michael Swift and Bryan Buckhannon pulled away while having there own battle. Once I passed up thru 4th & 3rd I was able to get back up to leaders pace and I was sure to see 2nd soon and just then my rear differential snapped and I was out with only front wheel drive. I tried to keep going but the track was too knarly to make it thru some of the sections,” Cecco explained.

Unfortunately, Cecco's race ended early at round two, but the set back has given him even more determination to come out on top at round three. “This week we are going to work on our starts so that we can move right to the front and stay there,” said Cecco. Round three of the GNCC series will have Rick Cecco traveling to Morganton, NC on March 26th at Steel City where Cecco will be going for the win.
