Frankfurt, KY (7/12/2011) -
The track at Millfield can be really
muddy, or really dusty. Today’s race was run
in almost perfect conditions after receiving some
rain recently; it was sunny and the temperature
in the 80’s. There was very little dust, and
there were some muddy hillclimbs and creek crossings.
The course included a pro-style motocross track
as well as tight woods sections.
Jarrod McClure got off the line well, but someone
ran over his rear tire in the first turn, almost
flipping him over. He completed lap 1 in 6th position,
and was being smart with his line selections in
the muddy areas. He moved into 5th on lap 2, and
maintained that position to the finish. Many of
the pro riders were getting stuck, but Jarrod
said he never did. He attributed that to the new
Kenda tires and Tireballs, and was really stoked
about the traction they provided.
All in all, it was a good weekend for the National
Guard Coastal ATV team.Jarrod’s next pro
race is a WORCS event in Washougal, WA on August
20, and his next GNCC event is “The Unadilla”
in New Berlin, NY on September 10.
In only his second race on an ATV, Kalab Hagan
finished 2nd in class and 5th overall, against
older kids on more powerful ATVs. William Yokley
has been mentoring Kalab on riding techniques
and bike setups, and he is showing good results.
Kalab will be participating in other regional
races during the GNCC summer break.
