Can-Am GNCC ATV
Racing Heads to Sommerset, PA for Round 10
Mountain Ridge
GNCC - Round 10 - Somerset, PA - September 24,
2011
Morgantown, WV (9/20/2011) - Rockstar
Makita Suzuki's Chris Borich is well on his way
to another championship title after his signature
final-lap pass on Warnert Racing Can-Am riders Adam
McGill and Chris Bithell last round at Unadilla.
Borich now holds a thirty-six-point lead over McGill
heading into round eleven of the Can-Am Grand National
Cross Country Series at Mountain Ridge ATV Trails
in Somerset, Pa. this weekend.
The thirty-six-point margin doesn't fully reveal
the season-long battles between Borich and McGill,
or even the competition level within all the top
five XC1 contenders. Chris Bithell has been exchanging
podium positions with his Warnert Racing Can-Am
teammate all season long and is now only ten points
behind McGill for second place.
GT Thunder-backed Brian Wolf is the only rider
besides Borich and McGill to claim an XC1 class
win, and due to a couple strings of bad luck,
Wolf is trailing Ballance Racing Yamaha's Taylor
Kiser by thirty-eight points in the championship
standings. Kiser has consistently put his blue
machine inside the top five and a race-win at
Mountain Ridge would keep him in the running for
the championship title.
Ballance Racing Yamaha's Walker Fowler continues
to impress - the young rider claimed his second
overall win in New York, beating out the premier
riders on time adjustment. Fowler is undefeated
in the XC2 Pro Am division and looks to grab his
tenth consecutive win this weekend in Pennsylvania.
ATVs will compete throughout the day on Saturday,
September 24 and the dirt bikes will compete on
Sunday, September 25. Local riders are invited
to race the event as well, as GNCC racing offers
classes for riders of all skill and experience
levels. The amateur racer entry fee is $40 and
riders can sign up at the track.
Spectator passes run $15 for the full weekend,
with pro pit access and pro autographs at no additional
charge. 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.
