The Patriot round of the GNCC was held at the Virginia Motorsport Park located in Petersburg Virginia. The 9 mile course provided racers with plenty of obstacles and more then enough mud and ruts:p

The course also provided the riders an excellent motocross track which allowed for some great pictures and great racing!

Harlen spent the early morning chatting with racers and taking pictures before it was his time to saddle up.

Injured rider Chad Duvall made his way around the course helping out friends racing the AM event. Chad will be back on his quad at WISP if everything goes as planned. I was glad to see the Duvall crew in full force on Pro row and I wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery

Team Safari's Traci Cecco gets a few words of encouragement from husband Rick before the start. Traci and Rick are dynamite people and both are excellent racers. Its people like this that make GNCC racing such a friendly sport
