Geico insurance is now part of the scene at the GNCC's as they are on hand to provide you with all the information on insuring your atv or motorcycle. I figured they would make one race and see what we do to these machines and run away:p
The Geico lizard is a quad guy, atleast thats what I hear:o
Saturday gets right busy at a GNCC, with a 8 A.M. start time for the Youth race, followed immediatley by the Morning race, only to be wisked back to the line for the start of the main event, I was starting to feel the effects of running all over this facilty for 6 hours as I heard the engines rev following the national anthem. At a run I made it to the line just in time to catch the 10 seconds call.
The place fell silent for a brief moment, and with a flick of the green starter flag the pro class was fired to life and the 99db thunder bellowed it's music through the North Carolina country side!
Chris Borich was leading the pack to the first turn as Ballance and McGill stacked in behind him.
The weather was almost perfect at race time, but the field at the start was going to offer noone a break that did not happen to be out front.
Dust and shredded grass are all you could see as the Pro class headed for turn two!
As I ducked the oncoming dust storm, I could hear one last quad come to life and heading out for 2 hours of brutality. Chris Jenks day was not starting out as he would have liked.
XC2 Pro AM was next off the line, and it was Donald Ockerman grabbing the holeshot with Brandon Sommers all over him as they head through turn one. Ockerman also pocketed himself $100 for the Atvriders.com holeshot award.
Jeff Miller #181 edges out Darrell Bozarth #033 for the holeshot in Vet A
College A was led through the first turn by Jonathan E Shaff
Not everyone goes through the first turn the same:p
Dave Simmons grabbed the holeshot in the Senior 40 class. Dave went on to take home second place.
Junior A 22+ class took to the track with Jonathan Long leading the charge.
