Long Beach, CA (3/18/2011) - Kristen Atwell would kick off a great weekend for GBC racers as she propelled her Yamaha to the podium by taking second in the Women's class and third overall. Atwell charged off the line taking the holeshot and would run in contention the entire race, battling hard with eventual winner Lexie Coulter. Kristen's finish has her fourth in points and marks her second visit to the podium this season.

The afternoon program would see the warmest temperatures yet this season as the thermometer climbed well into the 80's. GBC racer Bryan Cook had been battling an illness all week and would have his hands full competing however would garner a stellar top five finish! Cook, exhausted and battered, crossed the finish line taking the 5th spot. Fighting dehydration and illness, Cook persevered and claimed his best finish since the opening round.

GBC's Jeff Pickens

GBC's Jeff Pickens placed his season best finish aboard his Yamaha YFZ450 ATV

Jeff Pickens had made some serious changes for this round, switching back to an older model of Yamaha's YFZ450. Pickens has been battling set up issues and injury and was hoping returning to his proven set up would help get him back in the fight. Jeff rode well and would finish eighth, posting his best finish thus far in the 2011 season. GBC teammate Johnny Gallagher would run into issues on the first lap and would suffer his worst race yet this season and was unable to complete the event. Gallagher will rebound and with Pickens on a comfortable set up, we look forward to seeing what they bring to round five!

GBC's Eric Hoyland

Eric Hoyland took his third podium finish with GBC Tires this season in the XC2 class at Big Buck in Union, SC

In XC2 Pro Am, Eric Hoyland would find the podium for the third time this season as he grabbed his third, third place finish of the season. Eric had his Honda dialed in and was charging right from the start as he battled his way to the front and the podium. Hoyland is dedicated and focused and we expect to see him allot on the podium this season as he is a favored XC2 racer to be upfront when the checkered flag drops!

The series heads to the world famous Loretta Lynn's Ranch on April 30th which features a mix of terrain that should suit our riders well. We would like to thank all of our racers for their hard work and dedication and look forward to seeing them in action at the next round!
