mechanical issue and did not finish today. National
Guard / Polaris / Coastal / Yoshimura / Yokley Racing
Team driver Scott Kiger finished 3nd Overall and
3nd in XC1 Modified class. Total entry numbers were
not available from the GNCC at the time of this
report. William’s guest passenger was John
Bowers, and Scott’s passenger was Chris Stone.
The John Penton GNCC course is always challenging
with tight Ohio woods sections, open fields and
the Sunday Creek Motocross course. This year,
the Racer Production team cut in more than a mile
of virgin woods trails, making it more interesting.

The National Guard Coastal Polaris Team prepared
the best they could for the oppressive heat. With
the temperature well over 100 degrees and high
humidity, plenty of hydration is very important.
At the start, the Yoshimura tuned Polaris machines
of Yokley and Kiger were 1st and 2nd as they headed
into the woods. Yokley came out of the woods onto
the motocross track section at the end of lap
1 with a 30 second lead. As he went back into
the woods, his machine started overheating with
radiator issues. Not wanting to damage the engine
so early in the race, William decided to shut
it off.
Scott Kiger ran a smart, smooth race and settled
into 3rd place. The woods sections and the motocross
course were pretty dust free, but the open field
sections were so dusty you could barely see. Scott
was consistent and finished up on the podium in
3rd overall.
The GNCC now takes its summer break, and the
next Side by Side race is the Power Line Park
GNCC in St. Clairsville Ohio on October 6. Have
a safe and enjoyable summer; we’ll see you
at the next race!
