Buck GNCC - Round 4 - Union, South Carolina
- April 10, 2010
Union, SC (4/12/2010) - All
three FRE/KTM ATV GNCC riders earned holeshots
in their respective classes which led to three
top results at the Big Buck, round 4 of the
GNCC Series.
Women’s class racer, Angel Atwell, was
up first in the morning ATV class. She nailed
the holeshot off the line and led the group
around for the first lap. She held the lead
for the first half of the race followed closely
by Traci Cecco, Kristen Atwell and Lexie Coulter.
Angel pitted for gas on lap three and lost the
lead briefly to Kristen Atwell. She quickly
reeled her back in and regained the lead before
the end of the third lap. She went on to pull
a 5 second lead and took the win.

Bryan Cook
charged hard for the entire race and
came home with a 4th place showing on
his KTM ATV in the XC-1 GNCC Class
|
The next holeshot went to XC-1 FRE/KTM rider Bryan
Cook as he rounded the first turn in 1st position
and battled it out for the lead the duration of
the first lap. He was passed by a hard charging
Taylor Kiser at the end of the first lap and then
embarked on a battle with Chris Borich, Chris
Bithell and Adam McGill for a top three spot.
Unfortunately, he was passed by all three riders
but was able to maintain their pace. On the final
lap he was able to get back around Bithell and
finished a hard fought 4th overall.
In the XC-2 class Josh Kirkland pulled the
third and final holeshot for the FRE/KTM Team
and remained in 1st position heading into the
woods. Unfortunately, a downed tree in the middle
of the trail got lodged into his front A-arm
and he was forced to get off his ATV and remove
it. He dropped back to 4th after this set-back
and had to work hard to catch back up. Near
the end of the third lap Kirkland was able to
get around Kevin Yoho and took over 3rd position.
He maintained that pace and finished in 3rd
grabbing the final podium position.
