The Women's class is getting exciting with Traci Cecco winning another by over 2 minutes. Stephanie is still in the lead for the year, but it will come down to the Iron Man to see who is the #1. It should be alot of fun to see them battling for the win!

This week Stephanie Parton an Angel Atwell got awesome starts while Traci Cecco struggled to get her YFZ started.

Stephanie was leading the race after half way through the first lap, but Traci was charging and was in 2nd place after poor start. Angel had lost her goggles early in the first lap and settled into the third place.

By the third lap Traci had a 2:26 lead over Stephanie, but ended up winning by just under two minutes. Traci knew she had to win,and you could tell she was determined to follow through!

The Stock Class race was an exciting race with Adam Howell leading the 1st two laps, but lost time the last two laps which aloud John Wright to work his way up from 8 to the Overall Winner of the Morning! Adam Howell ended up finishing third overall behind Doug Henke. Doug normally runs the Utility Class, but switch to the stock class didn't hurt him a bit. Tyler Lenig put in another Great race and finished 4th overall and only 27 seconds out of 1st. I told everyone that this 16 year old will be someone to Watch. Great Job Tyler!

William Yokley was Z400 was equipped with Rolls and Elkas new long travel package for the Z. The shocks are that Z were incredible, but the linkage on the swingarm was totally different than stock. This combination won him the Overall at Sparta, but he had a subframe failure this week which cost him a 50 minute lap.

Chad Duvall has really settled in with his New Ride on a YFZ! He was really excited about running his YFZ before the race, and he took the Win in the Pro Production Class. He also looks to be set to Win Pro Production Class for the Year since William had swingarm problems and only finished 14th.

Great Job Chad!

Chris Borich will finish the year with the #2 Plate, and he has what it takes to become #1 next year! Chris Borich, is a great racer with plenty of motivation and I am proud to race with him locally in District 6.

Matt Smiley is BACK! Last year he was Mr. Consistent with a Podium finish almost every race, but this year he was plaqued with problems early in the year. Since, Round five at Lorreta Lynn's he has been on the Podium every race but one. He even switched to the new YFZ and has continued to do great. Matt is another Great Racer that will make next year another exciting year of racing.

Jeff Stoess Won Again and finished 8th Overall. Bryan Cook finished only five seconds behind him for 2nd, which was enough for Bryan to Take the 4 Stroke A Class Win for the Year. Jeff has locked up 2nd Place for the Year, and hopefully both of them will show the Pros how it is done at the Iron Man.

Congrats to Jeff and Bryan!

12th in first year racer - not bad for being only my second gncc

i would've done better but got screwed at a bottleneck on the hillclimbs on my last lap

Just wanted to set the record straight that William Yokley's Roll Design swingarm/linkage didn't break on the rear, it was his sub-frame that gave way. He was a little disappointed but if you know William he was still grins after the race. I had heard a few people get it wrong at the race and just wanted everyone to know what happened.

The Roll swingarm is an awesome piece to look at, I have spent some time with my self. I built the swingarm skid for it. After more testing I believe Roll will start to produce them.

I had some bad lucks during the race. I was leading in the 4-stroke novice 16-24. I got stuck in that 4 feet of mud! Couple of time my motor died because of gas tube vent was full of mud and had to shake it out and start it again and charge on and finished 12th and 70th overall. I wanted to win for my last race for this seaon!! Maybe next year! By the way I ride Raptor with stock suspension.

Awesome pictures Harlen!! Keep up the great work!

Congrats to Jesse Burton for winning. Congrats to Jeff for getting awesome 8th overall!! :eek2:

i started off with some bad luck too.
i drove all the way out there from pittsburgh and when i went up to the start line and turned my key on to warm my bike up one last time i lost all my power - i had some kind of short that must have been from all the rain driving out there. i had to rip my fenders off on the start line and mess with the wiring right before the start - i finally got power but i was afraid to shut my key off and lose it (i was the one with the headlight on that the annoucers were asking about and saying something about my engine running but it wasn't - just afraid to turn the key off or mess with the lights). then when they started i tried to start and it wouldn't....then it did but immediately stalled....then it finally started but by thta time everybody else was way ahead so i went into the first three turns dead last.

dont' know what the deal with the short was it ran fine the rest of the day :huh

I can't make up my mind! Whenever I run A I screw up, so I am trying to get past this and just relax. I seem to find the deepest mud holes on the track at least once a lap.
