Patton, PA (5/31/2011) -
FRE/KTM rider Bryan Cook grabbed another holeshot
on his KTM at the Patton, PA GNCC race over the
weekend before succumbing to some technical problems
at the end of the race that landed him in 11th
overall for the day.
Cook was able to nail the holeshot on his Baldwin
Motorsports tuned KTM and led the first half
of the race to put together the best beginning
to a race he’s had this season. He led
until the mid-race pit stop when he pit earlier
than the pack of riders behind him and lost
a few positions on his pit stop. Cook looked
very impressive through the tight woods and
fast field sections of the Rock Run GNCC course.

After the halfway mark, Cook began to suffer
from some clutch issues that caused him to drop
off his leading pace. Shortly into the last
lap Cook’s clutch problems took a turn
for the worse and caused him to not finish the
race. He was credited with 11th overall.
“It is definitely heartbreaking to not
finish a race after I was riding so well throughout
the majority of the event,” remarked Cook.
“But, this is racing and these issues
happen. What’s most important is that
I am okay and we can fix the problem for the
next round. I have improved my speed tremendously
this year and am really looking forward to a
few podium finishes before the end of the season.”
