Long Beach, CA (5/27/2010) - GBC
racers found success at Round 7 of the Can Am GNCC
Series on one of the most unforgiving tracks of
the season. The morning race would see Rick Cecco
claim the third position overall and Zach Zachowski
would join Cecco on the podium as he claimed second
overall.
For Cecco, running near the front of 4x4 Open
all day was right where he needed to be but he
managed to sink his Can Am in a deep hole and
had to work his way back to the front. Zachowski
would find himself in second place and the pair
followed each other to the checkered flags.

The GBC Pro racers would not catch a break as
the rain fell periodically throughout the event
turning an already brutal course into a race of
survival. Jeff Pickens would grab traction off
the line and out of the first corner to secure
the XC1 Pro holeshot and lead the first lap. Pickens
would battle the entire event and find himself
in 8th when the checkered flag waved.
XC1 Pro Johnny Gallagher would be in his element
as the conditions worsened. Gallagher would once
again find himself inside the top ten when the
race ended, taking home the sixth position.

at the holeshot and eventually dropped back
to a respectible 8th |
Johnny
Gallagher grabbed 6th place overall on the
day despite the downpour that occured duringt
the XC1 Pro race |
Massive rock gardens made extremely hazardous
by the falling rain were only a few of the obstacles
our racers would face. At the end of the day,
GBC Motorsport riders would see the podium in
both morning and afternoon events as Jeff Pickens
was awarded the Holeshot award.
The next round for our racers will have them
in Ohio as the "John Penton" is scheduled
to be run on June 5th in Millfield Ohio. This
is classic cross country racing terrain and you
can count on our riders being ready!
