Gncc 05 Winner

[Johnny & Monica]

Who is winning the Gncc this year Ballance got`s the new big pay roll but young Borich is chasing him down an getting a few win`s under his belt.An Yokley an Duvall both got good Chances But Are all time Favorite Matt Smiley really deserves a big series win too.It`ll be a awesome season in the pro-class Can Ballance win 7 years straigth?Or will Borich stop him?What`s everyone else`s thougths on this who does everyone want to win an who does everyone think will win.

[Johnny & Monica]

Thanks to whoever voted for Smiley (since Johnny didn't).

[black450r]

what about jeff stoess i realy think he can do it. he is a great racer and i would realy like to see him have a top 10 or top 5 finish.

[black450r]

ballance will be on his 6th consecutive win not 7th

I wouldnt call it 6th yet, the season aint started an Borich is going to be a thorn in Bill`s side:devil: But are fingers are crossed for Smiley But what about Johnny Gallager an Brandon Ballance this year?

[UbeenSmoked]

nope i think Borich on that Honda is going to rip everyone up with it, but i think it will take him a couple of races to start winning but i think he has a real good chance

MAtt

[gump]

watch out for mike houston and the other mideast boys, derisi and cook !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crayfz]

Rice, in the top 3.

[bradley300]

my top 5 prediction is ballance winning, probably be a battle with borich all theway to the ironman. borich in second and a close battle between yokely and cook for 3rd but i think yokely will edge him out and then jenks in 5th. this will be a very very close year i think with 1-7 or 8th place decided by only a few points

[woodside83]

i think ballance will win but i think that boich will give him a real run for his money. It will be a lot closer this year, ballance will not run of and rap up the chamionship early this year.

[erac4019]

How can you discount William...always a bridesmaid never a bride!

[woodside83]

if william has the same suport that doug gust has he will be unstopable

[bs784]

I think Johnny C should also be on the Poll.

[Johnny & Monica]

Yeah, I`m sure Gallager will be in top 10 this year I should have but him on the poll he was my kids favorite untill he failed on signing there champagne bottle :( We still root for him thougth even thougth he cant take my joking around:devil:

[Johnny & Monica]

come guys Chris Jenks needs a few votes he was looking good last year.

[cdalejef]

Jenks is super fast but he need to turn it down 1 notch before he will be a champion. Bill used to be exactly the same way.

[Johnny_G]

WELP GUYS FEEL FREE TO PRINT OUT THIS POST AND PUT IT ON YOUR FRIDGE. Cause I GUARANTEE I WILL BE 100% right come next october.

PRO
-Borich will win the opener in Texas
-Ballance will win championship #6 (wrapping it up with 2 or more races to go I might add)
-Borich will win 3-4 races, and finish #2 for the year.
-Yokley will win 2 races and be #3

REMEBER......YOU CAN TAKE THOSE PREDICTIONS TO THE BANK!!!!

[jb500ex]

i say you can put this on your fridge
borich wins the first 2 rounds, yokley wins the third round, borich the 4th, ballance the 5th, then im not sure after that, but bill spends alot of time hiding in his trailer yokley finishes 2nd and borich wraps it up this year. jeremy rice will also finish top 5.
traci wins the womans class
dave bishop wins 4 stroke stock :D

[bs784]

16-24 4 stroke C Kevin Yoho 4 wins and the championship.

[markk]

I really really like Chris Jenks, But i dont see him winning the GNCC series, But im hoping he can pull a top 5 number for 06 series! im my order


Borich
Ballance/yokley
Duvall/Smiley/jenks

it could go either way with 2nd and 3rd, and 4th and 5th

[Johnny & Monica]

But Johnny G you didnt predicted your spot:confused: Get your confidence up an lay off the ugly chick`s an ride more an you are getting a little chubby But I still have faith you can be in top 5 focus...
An I think Borich an Ballance will be close an last race will deside the outcome I dont think Bill will win 7 straigth if Borich dont stop him this year he will next year . AN what happen to Smileys drive??? He really deserves a big championship win:D

[Johnny & Monica]

By the poll people aint so sure on Ballance or just wanting to see a new face?How do you guy`s feel about Tracy , Stephanie , and Angela Attewell will fall into place?

I second that.

[popo]

It's going to be interesting to say the least. I predict some serious racing due to factory or other support factors being turned up.

It's pretty much an even playing field for some of the pro's, having last season to weed out bugs etc.

With mother nature being pissed off at the world, expect some muddy races or other challanges such as making it past the 102db sound limit.

[Rico]

I can't say who will win but man o man is it going to be a good year for racing. I bet there will be up to 12 different riders on the podium this year, meaning that 12 different pro's will be on the podium at one time or another, not the same guys week after week..

[popo]

I wonder if Brad Page is coming back?

[raptorrider]

I say it depends on how much fishin Bill does this summer!!

[seamonster]

Heard he was coming back full-time...I hope so because he is always competitive and a blast to watch.....I cant wait to see how this year plays out......cya there:)

[beak7707]

I think its going to be really close between balance and borich. Bill is the man but borich turned it on after he switched to the honda. I think its going to be a great year and I cant wait for it to get started.

[Johnny & Monica]

I'm hoping Smiley does well as he is my favorite but did any of you see the way Jenks walked out on the pack at Ironman the first lap ??? When he came around the edge of the lower parking area no one else was in sight and he was long gone b4 we saw the rest of them coming.......... if he can keep it on the ground ((Like Borich)) I think he'll be a real contender for top 5 overall next year............... I still wanna see Hawk come back though and really stir things up.

Monica

[cdalejef]

You can forget about Hawk coming back. If he does, he needs his head exammed!

[brian-250]

i think this might be a good year for Jeff.;)

[erac4019]

What ever happened to Jeff Seegot? He was always up front and then all of a sudden he up and quit. :confused:

[jdwxv3]

I think Ballance will take it once again.

[Rico]

I was on the horn with Borich today and he's got his Honda dialed in perfect and is training hard on a rough *** practice track...:macho

It's going to be one of the most competitive years GNCC Racing has seen in a long time..:chinese:

I can't really root for just one rider to win. I"ve met lots of Pros over the last year or 2, been to dinner with some, sat in a trailer talking with some, drank beer with racers dads before...:uhoh: I'm happy to see any of them on the podium, they've all worked hard, they're down to earth guys that are generally fun to be around, so I vote for all the above and many more...:D

[Johnny & Monica]

What ever happened to this guy?????

[Johnny & Monica]

I'd still like to see him come back for at least a race or two just to see what would happen. Somebody would be licking their n*tz and I just think it would be alot of fun.

[foxracingpredat]

1-smiley on the predator:devil:
2-borich
3 ballance
4- yokley
That is gonna be one crazy top four and it will come down to the very end of every race and until the IRONMAN

[Allen]

You have to go with Ballance....he has 5 championships under his belt and this season he has a factory ride.....c'mon

:rolleyes:

[Johnny & Monica]

Smileys got a championship in him I know would love to see him pull it off because he`s Monicas an my kids favorite But I believe Borich will have it this year I dont want to see Hawks 7 win record broke Borich got`s 05 an 06 to stop him or Smiley ,duvall yokely , Jenks OR EVEN Johnny Gallager need to put the stop to him

[markk]

I actully feel sorry for smiley that guy just cant seem to get a #1 in there. I root for him just as much as i do for any rider out there in the afternoon, Now as for the morning im rooting for MYSELF!!!!!!LMAO!

[brndnbllnc]

Being Bill's bro has many advantages. From a race stand-point this guy knows everything there is to know. Being around him I have learned so much, but the knowledge I have about racing doesn't even begin to scratch the surface he walks on! Both our YFZ quads for 05' are going to be set up very similar. His expertise on suspension set-up will have our YFZ's riding smoother than ever. A smoother ride allows the rider to have the throttle pinned from lap 1 to the finish without experiencing fatigue. The x-tra horsepower we mustard from the YFZ with help from GT Thunder, HMF, and GYTR...well I'll just say it's going to be there when we MIGHT have to use it.
The 05' Champ. What r u people thinking? There are only two riders who have the capability of knocking Bill off the Parade
Wagon and those two would be either Johnny G. or myself! We have been eating hot wings (protein), watching racing videos, and court'n the ladies, all in all getting prepared for the 05' season........and YES JOHNNY, your welcome.
Greg Goad visits the Ballance Racing shop weekly, and he is now known as the "Rancher King." Penland wants no part of him. And Bill & I have decided, if it comes down to the last lap neither of us is giving in. If him and I are close enough together, we will be banging bars! The battle you have all been waiting for is coming! Febuary 12-----IT'S ON!!! Will it be Bill, Borich, Yokley, Duvall, Rice, Jenks, Smiley, Cook, or maybe even a rider no one is thinking of? I guess we will just have to wait and see. Thanks Harlen for support in 04' and now in 05'. Good luck to everyone, be safe, and cheer for the guy with a #9. Later.

[cdalejef]

Welcome to the site Brandon and thanks for your input!

[jacksongncc450]

Thats Special

[Blastermax]

Im going with Johnny G!
J/k I voted Smiley :)

[Shawn H]

Bill will win but it will be closer than previous years! If borich wins a few the pressure will get to him.

Borich 2nd
Yokley 3rd
Cook 4th
Smiley 5th


Johnny C will be top 10 this year.:eek2:

[powerstroke]

brandon--great post!!! i love it. not enough cowboy mentality floatin around these days. Courtin ladies is just as important as racing.........heck its part of racing! as for the season........I see borich winning round 1, bill winning his 6th championship and yokley taking 2nd for the year. happy racin everybody. Matt MHSC#12

[powerstroke]

and why did seegott disappear???????

[Johnny & Monica]

We need some more votes on this...

[Badger_Skid]

I like William's odds for the opener, he did very well last year there if you guys remember. He trains very hard to get ready for the season.

Also, if you throw out the chain problems and broken collar bone situation you have to ask where Chad might have ended up at the end, fifth place with all that happening? I think he missed a race or two and DNF'd a couple. You have to give it to that guy for not quiting. He's what champions are made of, his time will come.

I talked with Brad Page the other night, he will only race a few select races like last year, Tenn. and Ky. for sure, maybe Florida, have to see about more. He is a very busy guy, family and work are all that he can handle right now. He's a good guy, fun to talk to and consider a good friend.

Championship? Depends on injuries and breakdowns. We have a great group of guys that can win anytime that their number comes in. Makes for some great races to watch.

It's great to be apart of a great sport called Cross Country Racing......

Good Luck in '05 to all you guys from all of us at Badger Racing......

[Johnny & Monica]

Anyone change there mind after this weekend s race in texas:confused: Bumpin alittle early but will see after sat.:blah: :blah:

I dont know this for sure, But i heard threw a rumor that he just got tierd of traveling!

Iono he was a hella compatition on the MX track and fast in the woods as well.

[Johnny & Monica]

Borich got the first race Really close thougth...Anybody got a Ideal whos winning FL. ?

[jb500ex]

borich or yokley

[Johnny & Monica]

Smiley an yokley both tied in the votes:D

[sharkinthepool]

NO WING NO PRAYER! C'mon Chris!

Where is Santo at?

[300racer]

I say ballance wins the championship. I would like to see borich win on the honda but I don't think he is gonna beat bill. yokley 3rd duval 4th ( if he doesn't miss any more with health problems) jenks 5th smiley 6th cook 7th santo 8th brandon ballance 9th andy lagzden (sp) 10th. that is my guess at the top ten in points for 05. what happen to gegg trew? is he going to run the whole season this year if so I would say he will be some where in the top ten I would like to see him podium this year.

[Johnny & Monica]

look out Borich has 2 win`s up an a growing points lead an look at Smiley charging away on that Predator All the way to the poduim Awesome year ahead:D :D

Jenks sure has stepped it up and left someone eating crow. Ha Ha.

[jlhughes750]

Thats cuz iv been rooting for JENKS for 3years now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Jenks has another 1st overall this year i think!

[yoshz400rider]

Brandon and Dave would of been right about Kevin too except he needed a new quad and broke way to much. He will get them in B next year and will be crushing me.

[Johnny & Monica]

Well after the race this past weekend I want to say that even if Bill is not my favorite racer he really deserves the championship. Too ride like that with all that hardware in your leg and go from 1st to 7th and back up to finish in 2nd was just outstanding. That's why he's a champ he is just amazing. :macho :cool:

[trx400exxracer]

1. Bill Ballance
2. Chris Borich
3. William Yockley
4. Matt Smiley
5. Chris Jenks

Don't they have 2 throw aways if so I will keep mine like it is

well now i'm diggin foot out o mouth...........cause Rothermel got beat by Kiser in NY giving Kiser his 5th win????????? What the heck kinda voooodo crap are u and RP pullin?????:devil:

[Johnny & Monica]

I would say Jenks can move up still.:rolleyes:

[Johnny_G]

LOL we even recruited the top 2 B riders from this season to step up into the A class to knock rothermel back a few more spots so Taylor could gain those valuable points

I saw that!! U know its funny u joke about that............cause that sucks for him how that worked out!!!!!!!! If i were him i think I'd feel some type of way about that!!!!!!!!........I think he thought it was in the bag???? well there 2 more left???? He has the talent to pick it up again!!!
I knew you were in with RP, but this is spooky!!!!!:eek2:

IN the Bag?????? what points was he looking at? they were virtually tied going into this last race. As for him picking it back up.....I agree it will be a battle to the finish at Ironman between him and Taylor. BUT dont be surprised to see one of my little 4-stk B boys grab a win in the next 2 races..........AND IF THAT SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER PREDICTION???????

TAKE IT TO THE BANK....LOL

[jlhughes750]

I'll agree with u again Johnny, it will be a good race.........I'll be happy if Emerson gets a win........but It would be alot cooler for everyone else if he has to work at it a lil while!!! I figured there would be a day when he's got to work for a win!!! I'm glad Tyler was able to shadow him for the year......I'm also glad Tyler found someone to chase!!!! I started watching him years ago on a 230, and thought he was gonna be talented!! glad to see he's doing well!!!!

[jlhughes750]

I think Yohos problem had more to do with Foltz than anything else. If you look at all the races, you will see that they were close all year. And Brent had his share of break downs as well. Yet he still locked it down with 2 to go. Something I bet you didnt know. Texas was Brents first race EVER on a quad. He had owned the YFZ for less than 2 months. And the only quad riding experience before that was from a 250ex. My money is on Foltz for 06 4-stoke B champ. Dont get me wrong, I am not trying to put Yoho down in anyway. It is obvious he has some talent and I wish him the best in the future.

[yoshz400rider]

I know this thread is super old but had to point out to GNCC how good YOHO is doing told you all along how fast he was try 17th overall at Missouri not bad for a Junior in High School.

It's funny for me to look back on this and see how right I was!! But yet some of you guys continue to doubt me....I may not be able to run up front anymore, but when it comes to predictions I am batting 1000 over the past several years.

I would say top 5 is up front:D what is that in your signature that has the stars and . com
