Warnert Racing's

of the season at the 2010 running of the
Snowshoe GNCC in West Virginia. He battled
the elements & other racers to again

ATV

Snowshoe Resort was the hosting facility for
round nine where the Warnert Racing team put in
an amazing effort to take three class wins in
the morning races. Cliff Beasley charged off the
line to take the lead in his class and would hold
that position from start to finish. Beasley who
has been unstoppable since switching to the U2
class this season would go on to not only take
his class win, but the overall morning class win
as well, furthering his points lead. “It
feels great to take the win going into the summer
break. It gets me one step closer to winning the
championship,” said Beasley.

Swift used some imagination on the last
leg of the 4x4 Lim class as he went on to
take the win after running most of the race
in 3rd spot |
4x4 Limited class racer, Michael Swift earned
his win the hard way. Swift would take the 4x4
Limited holeshot, but he had to battle through
bottlenecks and traffic, which caused him to fall
back to third place. Determined to win, in the
final lap, Swift chose creative lines to avoid
a huge bottleneck and went on to take over the
lead in his class and the win. “It was pretty
rough out there. There was a big bottleneck at
this hill climb and I figured I could either sit
there and lose, or I could figure out a way around
it, so I took a different line and came out ahead,”
stated Swift, who is the current 4x4 Limited champion
and points leader.
In the 4x4 Open class, Bryan Buckhannon would
lead his class from start to finish taking his
seventh win of the season, and giving him a ten
point lead in the championship race. “I’ve
been doing my best out there so I can give Warnert
Racing and Can-Am a championship,” said
Buckhannon.

| Adam
McGill was 3rd runner up again at round
9 despite the hefty amounts of mud &
rock that made up the Snowshoe course which
sent a lot of other racers astray |
In the Pro ranks, Adam McGill and Chris Bithell
both put in a strong effort despite the tough
track condition. McGill got off to a good start
and would fight hard to work into the number three
spot in his class before crossing the finish line.
Going into the summer break, McGill is sitting
comfortably in third place in the points chase.
“I fought hard through the whole race and
I had another good finish,” said McGill.
Chris Bithell would put in an amazing charge as
he would work his way from the back of the pack
into the number five position before crossing
the finish line. “It got pretty crazy out
there and I wanted to just pace myself, but I
knew I couldn’t if I wanted to work through
the pack, so I just pushed as hard as I could
and never gave up,” stated Bithell, whose
fifth place class finish has him sitting in a
solid fifth in pro points as well.
The summer break for the GNCC will last until
September 11th when the Warnert Racing team will
head to Unadilla in New Berlin, NY, where Cliff
Beasley could possibly wrap up the 2010 U2 class
GNCC championship.
