This was his first GNCC since this round last year.....where he wrecked pretty bad and it took several months for his back and hip to heal up.
His class left the line and I did not see him, and I started looking through my pics to see if he had been in the dust. Then he finally came through. I figured his quad didnt fire but found out later that he had wrecked in the first turn. He hit the turn wide open and when he grabbed the front brake there wasnt any! He was all out of shape by then and when the quad grabbed the grass it pitched him over. No harm no foul but now he was dead last with 25 riders ahead of him.

I caught him 1/2 way through the first lap and he was already 3 or 4 spots behind the leader but then ran into another wreck when a rider stopped and Cody landed on him as it occured in a ditch. He kept chugging on LOL

He ended up in 9th and 66th out of roughly 250. Not a great day but he had fun. Not having front brakes sucked he said LOL
