2005 GNCC "Yadkin Valley Stomp" Round #10 Morning ATV Racing Coverage

#35 Josh Whitehead also decided to give the Stock Class a try with his new 2005 Honda 450R even after finishing 19th Overall and 8th in the Pro Am Class at the Mountaineer.

As the Stock Class becomes more prestigious, I expect to see even more highly talented riders give the class a run in 2006.

Kyrie Brafferd (Lil-Braff) was also on the line for her first chance to compete in the Women's Class aboard her Quadshop 300EX after turning 16 over the summer break.

#206 Angel Atwell headed into the summer break with her first official win of the season, and she didn't take it lightly as she spent most of the summer racingt in various local events against the men to improve her chances earning atleast one more win against the two fastest GNCC racers Stephanie Parton and Traci Cecco.

Angel also picked up a Big Gun Sponsorship after her Wisp performance and was sporting a new graphics kit and Big Gun exhaust system, Congratulations to both Big Gun and Angel Atwell.

On a sad note, Fred Mudd, has been a major contributor to the Morning Race Coverage this year, but he will mostly likely miss the remaining races this season because he is scheduled for Knee surgery.

I wish Fred a speedy recovery and hopefully he will be back in action at the Ironman, and if anyone would be interested in helping ATVriders.com cover the remaining morning races or assist with the "Live Coverage", I want to hear from you.

Please send me an email webmaster@atvriders.com

Thanks again Fred for all your help this season!!!! :D

It was finally time for the morning prayer, and I couldn't think of a better way to hear it than 35+ Rider, Rodney Baker, did with his daughter as she wraps her arm around him.

With the singing of the National Anthem, my biggest supporter, Ed Foley stands with his arm on his chest and stares across the starting line at the America Flag waving in the wind.

My father not only pits for me, but he also does his best to take as many photos as possible for me to share with everyone for the morning coverage, and then he spends countless hours afterwards driving while I begin preparing the coverage, and I will hate to see the day when he is no longer able to do all he does for me and ATVriders.com.

Women's Start

With the "10 Second Call" followed by Ricky Towery waving the Green Flag, the Women Class was underway with Jennifer Albright jumping out to the early lead ahead of Stephanie Parton and Traci Cecco.

Angel Atwell was off to a slow start and eating plenty of roost through turn one.

Stephanie Parton took over the lead heading into the woods with Jennifer Albright dropping back to 2nd place with Stefani Verkade moving into 3rd place ahead of Traci Cecco.

Super Senior's Start

#353 Ken Vickerd out charged #207 John Gallagher to the first turn to grab the Holeshot
