2009 GNCC Racing Series - Round #7 - Mountain Ridge - ATV Race Coverage

Chris Bithell hoping things would work out here in PA

I thought I found a huge problem facing Brent Sturdivant as I was cruising through the Warnert Pit.

Brent had found a horseshoe (as well as a handfull of 4 leaf clovers) while walking the track at the Titan. He kept the horseshoe in his toolbox. Ofcourse them Yankee's that run the show had it pointing down letting all the luck run out:(

Toss that one son, you need a new one for the luck to work

Mr. McGill (Adams dad) talks to his son and Chris Borich. Maybe he forsaw the battle that was about to unfold:D

The XC1 class fired off the line and Thomas Wright would lead the charge to turn one........however his charge would end as he found himself off his ride and meeting terrafirma!

Wright would ball up and brace for impact but thankfully none would come.

The firstturn wreck would bunch up those behind him, Ballance, Kiser and Sommers mainly who now faced missing a shot at being out front!

McGill was clear and now off and running!

It wouldnt be the #3 ride out front when turn two was incountered, it would be PA's own Jeff Pickens grabbing the holeshot!

Pickens charge (sounds like something from the civil war:scary: ) was going to be a real battle as the class raced out of the turn.

Bithell would stay to the inside at turn 3 while Borich applied the power and the pair now headed for a long downhill section.

Sommers and Kiser would have their work cut out for them if they wanted upfront!
