KYMCO Maxxer
375 Takes First Place at Yadkin Valley Stomp
GNCC
Spartanburg, SC (6/2/2010) -
Kyle Golding, a 16-year-old SC native, pulled
out a first place finish riding a KYMCO Maxxer
375 in the Yadkin Valley Stomp GNCC Race held
May 8 - 9, 2010. This win follows two back-to-back
third place finishes in two previous GNCC races
and puts him in fourth place in his class overall.
Golding's rise to fourth place in the 4x4 Lites
class is even more impressive when you realize
that he did not even participate in the first
three races of the series.
The Yadkin Valley Stomp is held in Yadkinville,
NC, which is wine country. The name of this
event comes from its roots in wine - you stomp
on the grapes to make wine. This track is very
tight and is very unforgiving. Racers need a
good start and cannot make any mistakes to do
well here. The track features a large water
section and a large tunnel for the riders, making
it a fun venue for spectators as well.
However, this track worked well for Golding
and his break-through race. He won with a last-lap
pass, ending the 4x4 Lites points leader, Kevin
Trantham's five-race winning streak.
Al Golding, KYMCO USA's Accessories Manager
and Kyle's father was on site in Yadkinville
to provide support and cheer his son on. "Kyle
has been riding ATVs since he was eight years
old and has been racing for five years. The
whole family rides, but Kyle really has a special
talent for the sport. And he loves the mud!"
The Maxxer 375 is a good fit for Golding in
the 4x4 Lites class, which is made up of 201-560cc
ATVs. While it is not the most powerful in the
class, its performance and agility give it the
edge necessary to be a winner.
