Mountain
Ridge GNCC - Round 10 - Somerset, PA - September
24, 2011

National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing
Team rider Jarrod McClure finished 11th Overall
and 9th in the XC1 Pro class at Mountain Ridge GNCC.
There were 131 total entries including 12 XC1 Pro
racers.
The Mountain Ridge GNCC is a scenic, high elevation ATV park near the Flight
93 Memorial in Somerset, PA. The course consists
of wide open high speed sections, mudholes and
rocks of all sizes throughout. Rain earlier in
the week made track conditions challenging, but
near perfect.

National
Guard's Jarrod McClure grabbed the XC1 Class
holeshot & was running top 5 until his
chain slipped off forcing him to pull to
the side. Dispite the bad luck, McClure
would still finish top ten crossing the
finish line in ninth |
Jarrod McClure had a great start and picked up
the holeshot award. The first several miles were
open trails and fields allowing the machine to
bounce off the rev-limiter in top gear. Jarrod
was 4th going into a long, extremely rough rock
section at the7 mile marker. Picking a good line
and keeping your momentum was necessary in order
to make it through safely. Unfortunately, his
machine bottomed out on a big rock, and knocked
his chain off. He jumped off and put it back on
as quickly as possible. By now, all the pro riders
had passed him while he worked to get back in
the race.
Jarrod finished lap 1 at the back of all the
pros, and tried to move back toward the front.
His machine was ill handling, and he realized
he had a rear tire going down. His crew changed
the wheel on lap 2. The wheel was destroyed by
going an entire lap on the rim. Jarrod tried his
best to make up time, and was able to pass up
to 9th place in the XC1 Pro division.
This was not the finish he hoped for, but he
put a strong ride in none the less. The next race
is in 2 weeks at the Powerline Park GNCC in St.
Clairsville Ohio.
