Frankfurt, KY (5/17/2011) - Jarrod
McClure has had a very busy race schedule so far
this year, and has been improving his finishes.
He has been getting great starts and has consistently
been competing for podium finishes. He was ready
to continue the trend at this new GNCC venue in
Gosport Indiana, about 30 miles south of Indianapolis.
The afternoon Pro ATV race started under warm,
sunny conditions. When the flag dropped, Jarrod
got another great start, rounding the second turn
in 2nd place. He quickly got the lead and set
a fast pace. He completed lap 1 in 1st position,
and looked like he was capable of not only finishing
on the podium, but maybe even a win.
Jarrod had changed his set up slightly for this
race, deciding to go with a full skid plate set
up instead of a smaller, less protective cover.
The ruts were severe in the creek and mud sections,
and the full skid plate caused his machine to
get hung up more easily. This happened a few times
on the next couple of laps.
Then all heck broke loose when a heavy rainstorm
erupted! It rained so much, so quickly, that the
creeks rose and the mud got so deep that is made
the course almost impossible to get around. Jarrod
got stuck several more times, and when they finally
stopped the race at 90 minutes, he was back in
12th Overall.
What started out as a very promising day ended
with just trying to finish and salvage as many
points as possible. Jarrod will head back home
to Pennsylvania and regroup for the next ATV GNCC
round in Patton, PA. Hopefully, there will not
be any floods there! See you there.
