2009 GNCC Racing Series - Round #8- The John Penton - ATV Race Coverage (

Jeff Pickens and Ryan Lane go wide as turn two was now ready to see action

Kiser may look like he is out for a casual stroll, but let me tell you, he was flyin!

Kiser would claim the official holeshot as he hits turn 2 with Brian Cook and McGill in pursuit!

Turn 3 was tight and it would be followed by a short run to turn 4 allowing not much room for manuvering.

Ballance would find himself mid pack

I knew that atleast one rider had crashed at turn 1 but things happen so fast that I couldn't ID them. Derisi came railing through but I believe he just didnt fire and was now playing catch up

Trent Kandel was now moving as well as all but one racer remained in turn 1

When I finally got a chance to turn and see who was still getting going after the crash, I could clearly see it was Brandon Sommers. Brandon would now be forced to run down the class and work through them if he had any hope of getting up front where he wanted to be.

Kevin Yoho would be getting things done on a Yamaha, and started out with a bang by challanging for the holeshot right from the start!

XC2 was now in motion

Yoho was not going to be handed anything and Eric Hoyland powers his Honda out of the first turn and a drag race was on!

I would have to give the edge to Hoyland as he won the battle to the line and claimed the holeshot!

Unfortunatley for Hoyland, an issue with his kill switch would cost him this day....

"Going into Millfield, I was not expecting the track that was delt to us which was tight and technical but it was still a good time like always. Drop of the flag I got the hole shot and shortly after Kirkland passed me for the lead. A couple miles into the track my teather cord came unhooked costing me some time. For some reason it came unhooked two times after that. So after all of that I came in for the first lap in Fifth place. I pretty much fell in that pace all day. The teather cord problem will be adressed, and I am looking forward to the big race in my home state and also looking for my first win.

Big thanks to the new DC cycle motor for grabbing me my first hole shot of the season, as well as my other sponsors, Rekluse,Hiper,Hmf,Maxxis,Fasst,Oneal,Four,Quadtech ,Asv,ArsFx,Exit,Rem,RG Honda,My mom and dad."
