Penton GNCC - Round 9 - Millfield, OH - July 7,

| National
Guard / Yokley Racing's Jarrod McClure placed
just outside top 5 in sixth place in the
XC1 Pro Class |
Frankfurt, KY (7/12/2012) - Rider
Jarrod McClure finished 6th Overall and 6th in the
XC1 Pro Class. Total entry numbers were not available
from the GNCC at the time of this report.
The main concern for everyone at this year’s
John Penton GNCC was the heat wave that is hanging
over the eastern US. Temperatures for race day
were well over 100 degrees with high humidity,
making it hard on everyone. The course consisted
of some new, technical woods sections, open fields,
creek crossings and the Sunday Creek Raceway motocross
track.
At the start, Jarrod’s machine did not
immediately fire up, putting him near the rear
of the XC1 Pros going into the woods. He quickly
worked his way up to 5th place halfway through
lap 1. The field sections were very dusty, and
Jarrod hit a stump that he couldn’t see.
The resulting impact threw him off the ATV, forcing
him to dodge other riders as he tried to locate
his machine! After losing a few positions, he
got going and tried to make up some ground.
Jarrod worked his way up to a 6th place finish
on the last lap. These were some of the hottest
and toughest conditions in which Jarrod has competed.
The GNCC now takes their summer break and the
next event is the Unadilla in New Berlin New York
on September 15. See you there!
