Brea, CA (5/17/2011) - Rockstar
Makita Suzuki’s Chris Borich added to his
already massive lead in the 2011 ATV GNCC series
point standings with a solid second-place podium
finish aboard his Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki QuadRacer
R450 at the Indy 100 GNCC, round six of the 2011
ATV Grand National Cross Country series, in Gosport,
IN.
The Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider started the
race in fifth place and then steadily worked
his Suzuki into second as a driving rainstorm
moved in overhead, turning the red Indiana farmland
into slime.
“I was sitting back in fifth or sixth
after the start, just taking my time, but it
was pretty hard to pass out there,” said
Borich. “Every time I would get to the
front, I would get hung up or hit a little bottleneck
and drop back to second or third, or to third
or fourth. We worked up to second again at the
two-lap board and started charging; my dad was
giving me pit boards and we were closing in
– 40 seconds, 30 seconds. I came into
the pits that last time and got fresh goggles
and came around and got the checkers.”
“My Suzuki QuadRacer R450 ran great.
I felt good and we were charging hard, but we
just ran out of time,” added Borich. “We’ll
come back strong in two weeks in Pennsylvania.”
Borich, the reigning ATV XC1 champion, now
leads the race for the 2011 ATV Grand National
Cross Country series championship by 16 points
as the series moves to Patton, PA on May 29th
for the Rock Run GNCC. For more information,
