Motoworks / Can-Am's Chris Bithell placed fourth at the Limestone 100 GNCC in Springville, IN

Vista, CA (5/17/2012) – Can-Am / Motoworks’ Chris Bithell took on the challenge of the Limestone 100 in Springville, IN, this past weekend for round number six of the 2012 GNCC series and claimed a fourth place finish, keeping him in a comfortable fifth in series points at the mid-season mark.

This was yet another new course for the series this year and it was well liked by many racers. There were plenty of hill climbs, creek beds and well-worn trails to negotiate and near perfect conditions made it even more enjoyable.

Motoworks’ Chris Bithell has always been known for his ability to charge his way through traffic and has made some of the most incredible runs to the front of any race, and this round was another well done charge added to Bithell’s resume.

Bithell was just inside the top ten off the start and immediately began to move forward. Bithell gained two positions by the end of the second lap and was still moving forward. By the third lap, Bithell had moved into sixth place and was trying to make his way around lap traffic.

The many trees that lined the course were detrimental to many as the hard packed dirt was slick in spots and caused a couple of crashes late in the race, but that worked to Bithell’s advantage after he was able to inherit fourth place in the final lap and take it all the way to the checkered flag.

"It was a really fun race. The track was really tight and there weren't many places to make passes or make up time. You could ride back a few positions and see an opening and try to make up a spot but it was tough. Even though it got a little rough out there, my Can-Am still took it, so I have to thank Motoworks for doing such a great job,” said Bithell.

Round number seven of the 2012 GNCC series will head to Marvin’s Mountain Top in Masontown, WV for the Mountaineer Run on May 26th, where Motoworks’ Chris Bithell will be going for the podium.
