2005 GNCC "Power Line Park" Round #12 Afternoon ATV Racing Coverage

Ben Wrightsman removed his ugly graphics kit:D and had his best race of the season finishing in 9th place:macho

Justin Buss was off to a slow start, but he stayed on the gas and worked his way up to 5th by the end of the race and remains 3rd in points.

Christopher Pettit charged from last place to finish a season best 4th place.

Senior / 2 Stroke A/b Class Start

Brian Edwards aboard his Honda 250R lead the way around turn one with Wayne Edwards right behind him leading the Senior class.

Wayne Edwards has been competing occasionally in the Vet Class the past couple of years, but this was his first race as a Senior class rider.

By the second turn, Wayne Edwards remained in the lead and would lead the race from start to finish in his Senior Class debut, and he would record his best overall finish of the season with 50th Overall.

John Cunningham Jr was to a good start, but he would drop back to fifth by the end of the first lap and gradually work his way back up through the class to finish in third behind Dave Hogg.

Joey Margueria must have used his helmet wings to hover through the mud because he was able to pass Dirk DeCasare in the second lap and take over the lead while Brian Edwards would drop out of the race after taking over an hour to complete lap one.

Margueria aboard his Yamaha Blaster would take the win over the five over Honda 250R riders, which something you don’t see everyday or expect to see ever again. Great Ride Margueria

Bruce Marshall was another 250R rider that only managed to complete one lap :(

Vet Class Start
With all eyes on Ricky Towery the Vet Class Race was about to begin, and it was very obvious who had electric start and kick start machines.

Bryan Davis aboard his stealth 450R held the lead through turn one as he has really come on strong since Round #8 at the Mountaineer with his 2nd Place finish in the Junior Class. After winning three in a row in Junior, he jumped to Vet Class at Unadilla because Honda stopped paying contingency money to the Junior Class, and he took home the win and $500 bucks for his troubles.

The taste of victory must have felt good because he was after another this weekend, but it wasn’t meant to be as he would slip back one position to finish an impressive 2nd Place and only earn himself $400 bucks.

Thomas Wright and John Rowling would both start out in the top five with Wright taking over the lead by the end of the first lap with Rowling right behind him while Davis actually slipped back to seventh.

By the second lap, Wright experienced issues of his own and dropped back to fifth with Rowling taking over the lead and would never look back to claim his fourth Vet Class win of the season.

Wright would charge back up to third by the last lap, but he would experience problems once again and finish out the day in 11th to conclude his season. He is off to Hawaii for three weeks.
