Washington, GA (3/10/2011) -
Coming off a nearly perfect season in 2010, Chris
Borich came into the 2011 Can-Am Grand National
Cross Country series with one thing on his mind:
defending his title. The Yoshimura Rockstar Makita
Suzuki rider picked up right where he left off,
taking home the first victory of the year last
weekend in the XC1 Class.
Chris Borich started the year off with a win.The
second round of GNCC racing heads to the Maxxis
General at Aonia Pass MX in Washington, Ga. this
weekend, March 12-13. The field evens back out
this weekend, as it is a new course with completely
different terrain. Instead of the whooped-out,
rough sand track the riders so gruelingly experienced
last week, the red clay-based General will be
slated with thick woods, creek crossings and tight
pine sections.
If anyone is relishing another shot at a win,
it's Warnert Racing Can-Am Foremost Insurance's
Adam McGill. The West Virginian led a majority
of the six-lap race until a fence wrapped around
his bike, flipping him over the bars. Borich made
his way around a fallen McGill to take over the
lead on the last lap with Yamaha mounted Taylor
Kiser and Chris Bithell aboard his Can-Am close
behind.
FRE KTM's Bryan Cook started the race off strong
as he led the first lap in front of McGill, Borich
and the rest of the field. Cook rode on to finish
in the fifth spot behind McGill, who got up in
time to capture the fourth place spot.
This weekend's event will begin on Saturday,
March 12 with ATV and UTV racing, with bikes racing
on Sunday. Local riders are invited to race the
event, as GNCC racing offers classes for riders
of all skill and experience levels. Riders can
sign up at the track. The amateur racer entry
fee is $40 and riders can sign up at the track.
Taylor Kiser was a solid second in Florida.Spectator
passes run $15 for a weekend pass. Children five
and under are admitted free. On both Saturday
and Sunday, youth riders race at 8 a.m., beginner
riders race at 10 a.m., and the top amateurs and
the pros race at 1 p.m. On Saturday only, UTV
vehicles will race at 4:30 p.m.
To get to the track, take Hwy 223 until it dead-ends
with Hwy 78 (roughly 12-15 miles). Turn right
on Hwy 78. The General is 2.5 miles down on your
right (look for the big Aonia Pass Motoplex sign).
