2005 GNCC "Powerline Park" Youth Coverage Round #12

Cody Hill's day just wasnt going the way he wanted it to. After the race he said the biggest problems he faced was the bottlenecks and his inability to hang on to the bars.

Cody was involved with another class rider early on lap 1 where his front tire got caught behind the front tire of another quad. They spent several minutes trying to free themselves. Some of these quads weigh 3 times as much as thier riders and the heart they all show is inspiring!

Cody finished a dismal 13th, but we were all grateful he was atleast in attendance after his crash and that the resulting injury did not affect his race.

Devin Langford rode his way to 5th in 90 Limited 8-10. he too spoke after the race of the bad conditions and bottlenecks. Three young riders all expressed thier excitement of the chance to race this course on a better weather day!

Walker Fowler gets the checkered flag and the win!

Joshuah Dains gets the checkers after a hard fought race. Starting in the second row, this Limited 90 class rider worked his way thru the entire field to take 2nd overall!

Kyle Riley was back on his Honda for this race and did great. Finishing 11th in the Production 90 class.

The podium celebration had from L-R Seth Mumford, Walker Fowler and Joshua Dains getting cheers from the crowd. Walker has become a pro at hosing down the crowd!

Micheal Mussi finally won his class, after a season of misfortune. It was awesome seeing him get the win especially at a race in these conditions! Great job Micheal!

The next and final stop in the Youth series will be the Ironman in two weeks. The points battle in several classes will be decided at that race and I can only imagine the racing will be intense. We look forward to racing and getting even more coverage in hopefully much better conditions!

Everyone be safe, and we will see you all in Indiana!

The rain played havoc with my camera as well this weekend, and I was stressed for time this race trying to get ready for the morning race since I didn't arrive till after dark on Friday, but I did manage to snap a few photos.

In the 90cc Limited Joshuah Dains grabs the Holeshot with Seth Mumford right behind him just as they finished out the race 47 minutes later with only 6 seconds seperating the pair.

Matt Close would jump out front in the 90cc Limited (8-10) class, but would finish second to #180 Dusty Wright by a few seconds that was right behind him on the start.
