River Ranch, FL
(3/9/2011) - FRE/KTM
Team rider Bryan Cook started his day off right
at the season opener of the ATV GNCC Series when
he rocketed his KTM ATV out front early to grab
the holeshot award and went on to finish the day
in 5th place.
After nailing the holeshot on his Baldwin Motorsports
powered KTM engine Cook led reigning Champion
Chris Borich, followed by Bryan Wolf, Chris
Bithell and Adam McGill for the first lap and
a half. At that point, Wolf and Borich were
able to get around Cook on an alternate line.
Wolf led until the end of lap two before having
some clutch issues. The sand course began to
deteriorate and challenge even the best in the
field as the 2-hour race continued on. Cook
dropped to 5th place around the halfway mark
but remained close to the other top four riders
through the finish.
“I was very excited to grab the holeshot
and run the pace of the leaders for the first
lap and a half of the race. I know that I can
be closer to their speed I just have a few areas
I need to work on. I am looking forward to seeing
if I can pick it up at the next round,”
commented Cook.
FRE/KTM support riders Aarol Bright in the
XC2 class and Derrick Shaw in the College B
class both picked up 4th place overall.
