GBC Motorsports Racers Win
5 Classes at Limestone 100 GNCC
GBC
Motorsports Kayla Smith Wins SxS Production
700 class at Racetown WORCS
Anaheim, CA (5/16/2012) - Another
weekend full of racing has come and gone, and with
it came several more class wins for GBC Motorsports
riders. This time, GBC earned five GNCC class wins
and one WORCS class win. More importantly, however,
is the fact that as we near the halfway point of
both series it is evident that all riders are putting
in strong performances while staying healthy.
GBC Riders Rock the Limestone 100
GNCC
Hopes were high rolling into the second consecutive
brand new facility for the Limestone 100 in Springville,
Indiana, and both the track and the team of GBC
Motorsports riders delivered.
Leading the way this weekend was sophomore XC1
rider Kevin Yoho, who led early and kept himself
within the lead pack through the race, even setting
the fastest lap on Lap 3. Yoho finished the race
in a season best 6th place and has been steadily
improving with each round. It appears that Kevin
may be right on the verge of a breakthrough performance,
serving notice that this quiet speedster from
Ohio is the real deal. Johnny Gallagher put in
another consistent run for 8th place and remains
in the 6th position in the XC1 season standings.
Braden Henthorn’s rough start landed him
in 13th at the completion of Lap 1, but he overcame
these early difficulties and climbed all the way
to a podium spot. Henthorn finished 2nd in the
XC2 Pro-Am class, helping him maintain a slim
points lead in the class standings. Randy Hamilton
earned his first ever Pro-Am Top 5 finish and
continues to improve rapidly in only his second
year of GNCC competition.
Brycen Neal delivered his 3rd class win of 2012
in the ultra-competitive College A division, while
Kevin McKeown took top honors in the College B
class.
In some morning race action Bryan Buckhannon
made it 5 wins in 6 races in the 4x4 Open class,
enhanced by an impressive 2nd place Overall out
of more than 230 riders. Forrest Whorton also
earned his 5th win of the season in the 4x4 Senior
class on his GBC Dirt Commander equipped Can-Am
Outlander.
Ashley Barbee must have liked the feeling of
winning in Kentucky just two weeks ago, because
she made it two in a row by grabbing another Amateur
Women’s class win. Kylie Ahart finished
4th in the Pro Women’s class, and is in
3rd in the season standings.
The GBC Motorsports team will return to GNCC
action May 26-27 in Masontown, West Virginia for
the Can-Am Mountaineer Run.
Kayla Smith a Class Winner at Race
Town 395
WORCS ATV Racing traveled to Adelanto, CA for
Round 5 of the 2012 season this past weekend,
and one GBC Motorsports rider made an impression.
Kayla Smith not only made her third appearance
on the podium at Race Town 395 – she won
her class and posted the 5th best overall time
out of more than 40 SXS Production racers. The
victory puts Smith in 4th place in the season
standings in the SXS Production 700 class.
Fellow GBC driver Mitch Guthrie Jr. put up a
season best 5th place finish in the SXS Production
1000 class, moving him up into a 5th place tie
in the standings.
WORCS Racing will take competitors to On the
Edge Raceway in Enterprise, UT for Round 6 of
the season.
