St. Cloud, MN (5/26/2010) - Warnert
Racing’s 4x4 Open class racer, Bryan Buckhannon,
claimed the top spot on the podium in the morning
classes at round seven of the 2010 GNCC series while
Adam McGill and Chris Bithell would both take top
five finishes in the Pro class.
Mountain Ridge in Somerset, PA is notorious as
one of the roughest tracks on the circuit and
it did not disappoint for this round.
Despite the difficult terrain, 4x4 Open class
racer, Bryan Buckhannon would put in an amazing
effort, taking not only his class win, but he
would also win the morning overall. Buckhannon
charged off the line and took an early lead, which
he held from start to finish securing his fifth
class win of the season.

“It felt great to take a win like that for the team. It was a tough track
but my Warnert Racing Can-Am Outlander worked great,”
said Buckhannon.
Also in the morning classes, U2 class racer,
Cliff Beasley, would take his seventh straight
win of the season. “That track was the roughest
track we have been on in a long time. I came into
the rocky section at mile marker five on the first
lap and hit a huge rock that tore up my power
steering. That made things really difficult, but
I never gave up and I pushed hard,” said
Beasley, who is trying for a perfect season.
Michael Swift would take the 4x4 Limited win
as well, giving Warnert Racing their third win
in the morning classes. “I love rough tracks
like this and my Warnert backed Can-Am Outlander
got me to the finish line,” said Swift.
In the XC1 Pro class, Chris Bithell was on a
mission as he charged off the line and made his
way to the front of the pack. Bithell would battle
with Chris Borich for the lead for several laps.
Bithell was in the lead on the final lap, but
he would end up getting hit in the face by a tree
branch that would cause him to not be able to
see and he would fall back to fourth place before
crossing the finish line. “It was a rough
track, but I had fun out there. My Can-Am DS450
was running great so I just I tried to ride smart,
but also stay fast,” said Bithell.

Adam McGill also had a good race despite the
tough conditions. McGill had a good start and
was soon working his way up through traffic. McGill
would work his way to the number three spot, which
is where he would finish his day and claim the
final spot on the podium.
Round number eight of the 2010 GNCC series will
have the Warnert Racing team heading to Millfield,
OH for the Wiseco John Penton round, where Chris
Bithell and Adam McGill will be trying to dominate
the podium.
