The 2nd Round of the GNCC held during Bike Week in Palatka, FL which is conveniently located only about 1 hour from Daytona Beach, so many racers spend the time between round two and three enjoying the festivities of Bike Week.
The event is also conveniently located near the town and the roads are great. When you first arrive the track entrance, you will drive down a long straight driveway to the plantation house, which looks great with the trees surrounding it.
Unfortunately, this is where the good points end! The track itself is located in swamp :( Atleast this year they didn't receive as much rain as last year and the parking wasn't a mud bog, but the course itself wasn't much different from the year before, and I don't expect the track condition to ever be any better unless florida goes into a severe drought situation, which I doubt.
Many manufacturers are getting involved with the GNCC Series and finally bringing out some of their big rigs to the Events to support the riders :) which is extremely exciting.
Scott Goggles!

Before the Morning Race, Mike Penland and I talked about how ATV racing is growing.
The rider registration wasn't long Sunday Morning because of the many riders registered Saturday for Practice. Also, Racer productions is requiring you to bring your helmet to registration!
The Morning Event had almost 200 entries which actually was about 25% more than last year, which should be great news to Racer Productions since some racers intentionally skipped this event because of damage that the black sand & water does to the quads.
