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

I would say these aren't soccer moms:devil:

That beer sure looked good:(

We took up spot to catch the leaders along the woods. You could hear the top classes digging in as they worked their way around the pit areas but we had no idea who was in the lead.

As the sounds grew closer, the sound blended into one and you could feel the soft ground start to shake as the top riders were now closing in on us.

Adam McGill had over taken Kiser for the lead

McGill is a fan favorite and garners alot of cheers as he passes by!

Brian Cook was in 2nd and was looking good as he rolled on past me!

They hadn't even completed a lap and kiser was looking like he had been in a war!

Borich was running just behind Bithell and had already started climbing his way towards the front

Brent Sturdivant was in the mix as well as the MX section would soon be encountered

Bill Ballance was already without goggles as he battled his way in amongst a mix of XC1 and XC2 riders

Brian Wolf had the lead in XC2, with Josh Kirkland pulling up in 2nd. Eric Hoyland held steady in 3rd

The Penton is one of the oldest stops of the series, and the terrain is all so familiar to many. There were some changes to the layout this season that was met with mixed reviews. Many felt it was just the right mix of terrain to really make things interesting, while others complained that the bad areas offered no chance for getting around the many bottlenecks that formed throughout both morning and afternoon races.
