Saturday October the 16th was the final round of the GNC TT series. Everyone knew that it was going to be a exciting one. There were many riders very close in points in many classes. In the pro class there were only 6 points seperating Tim Farr and Keith Little. Keith only had to finish 1 place behind Tim to take the overall championship.

I am going to have some photos of just about every race class. I will start out with the pro classes, move to the women (which I will be doing a full race report) and then the remaining classes. I have limited time to work on this, this week but will try to get it done ASAP:)

Before the Pros started practice they had their racer meeting! It was made clear that there were two people here to win a championship and everyone wanted to see some good clean racing.

I am going to give you the track layout along with the pros doing a little practice, you also might see some am shots.

The starting gate was a dirt start.

Coming out of the starting gate you had the straight stretch.

Here we see the #12 Keith Little pulling the holeshot and firing the straight stretch up at the start of the practice.

The track then goes into a long bank left. Then on the back side you came into the lane option. You could take the outside lane that put you over the bridge or the inside that put you through the tunnel.

Here is Tim Farr taking the inside lane.

After taking the inside lane, was a hard right bank and it put you through the tunnel.

Here is the right hand bank.

Coming through the tunnel...

macsolocam
10-22-2004, 01:00 PM
After the tunnel you had a small table top. Here I think we have Nathen Dallas...It also could be John Mcghee of Legacy ATV, Nathen and John both race this quad.

10-22-2004, 01:04 PM
If you took the outside lane option you took a left straight to the bridge. Here is a look at #137 Mitch Reynolds from Greenbrier, AR.

macsolocam
10-22-2004, 01:06 PM
You then took a right over the bridge. Here is Rath.

macsolocam
10-22-2004, 01:08 PM
Coming across the bridge.

macsolocam
10-22-2004, 01:13 PM
After the bridge you make a small right and then back left, where the two lanes come back together.

macsolocam
10-22-2004, 01:16 PM
You then have the big bank at the other end of the track...It goes into a hard left then a right.

macsolocam
10-22-2004, 01:17 PM
Then it was back across the finish line.

Before pro practice I caught Tim and Keith walking the track to check it out.

macsolocam
10-24-2004, 06:45 PM
Now lets get on to the pro main...Here is a shot of the starting line up.

macsolocam
10-24-2004, 06:53 PM
This is where the battle begins out front....Here you see Farr and Little taking the different lines.

macsolocam
10-24-2004, 06:55 PM
Farr was on the hunt but Little held off Tim for quite a few laps into the 20 lap event. Here you see Keith coming off of the bridge.

macsolocam
10-24-2004, 07:01 PM
Tim was closing the gap between him and Keith. Tim tried the lane option on Keith many times, but always was coming up a little short when the lanes came back together. It seemed that Tim needed to be a grab bar distance between the two of them before he took the lane option and then he might have the time to take the lead position if he was that close before going into the lane option. So in the next few laps, that is what Tim did!

Here's one...

macsolocam
10-24-2004, 07:03 PM
Here's two......

macsolocam
10-24-2004, 07:04 PM
Here's three.....

macsolocam
10-24-2004, 07:08 PM
Tim then takes the lane option and beats Keith to where the lanes come back together.

After Farr made the pass on Little, the action then went on to Little and Hitt. Hitt was in strikeing distance and if he took the second place spot it would put the championship in the hands of Farr. Here is a shot of Hitt.

Hitt and Little battled the last half of the race but Hitt never did make the pass. Here you see Little ready to get back on the gas to a second place finish.

I would like to congratulate keith!!!

I don't think many people realize what kind of determination and effort he has put into his racing career. He is one of the hardest working guys that I've ever been around and a person that I have a great respect for.

Keith, this is the 1st of many to come. Your the man and the true meaning of the word CHAMPION!!!!
