2009 GNCC Racing Series - Round#4 - Big Buck - ATV & UTV Race Coverage

From the looks of his mangled right Powermadd handgaurd, contact was made with something out there!

Sommers was up to 6th and looking for more!

Bithell in 7th but not for long. From what I was told, another fuel management issue had him sputtering

Johnson keeping the dream alive!

The top 3 were running close, but from there back things started to spread out. McClure running in 8th

Ockerman had a solid ride going and was inside the top 10

Brian Wolf was looking great as he had the lead in XC2 and was looking at breaking into the top 10 overall! Here Wolf runs just ahead of Jeff Pickens.

Johnny G looking at another solid race!

I geuss I did look a bit dusty when Kirkland came by:p Josh was on his way to another podium finish in XC2!

Eric Hoyland wasn't fooling around when he said he wanted to visit the podium every round!

Eric reported in after the race with the following:

"The Big Buck was a rough but fast track. Once again I was off with a good start thanks to my Rekluse Pro clutch and my Baldwin motor. I was excited to run with my hometown boy Gabe Philips. It was like riding back in West Virginia. I knew he had the speed, and we could pull to the front together, but I was forced to pass him when he clipped a tree. For most of the race I tailed Kirkland in third waiting to take a pass on him until the last lap when I clipped a tree and lost my front brakes. So I took a conservative and consistent ride to take third. Coming into Tennessee, my confidence is high, and I now know what I can do.
