2008 GNCC Series-Round#6-"The John Penton"-Morning-ATV Race Coverage

The Schoolboy class is one of the best classes of the day, and its numbers are always up there each round!

Cody said hello to everyone-6 more weeks to go !

The starts complete, I did like everyone else and slipped and slid as I made my way to try and cut off the leaders. I had missed the overall leader (Doug Henke) but arived in time to catch Robert Smith as he works through the muck

My wait was short as Traci cecco and Angel Atwell were already doing battle

Rick Cecco crested the hill and I saw his flat tire and I knew his day was done. Trying to regain positions after running with a flat in these conditions would be almost impossible

Stephanie Verkade works through the mud

Stephanie Parton clears the road crossing and heads off into the woods

I did a second or two of thinking and figured rain runs down hill, so if I wanted to avoid some mud I needed to take to higher ground. The idea was sound, and there was a bit drier ground up high, but getting there was the challenge:p The hillsides were as slick as owl chit!

There wasnt much in teh way of excitement up there but I could atleast get withing 20 feet of the track without being covered in muck

Mathew Close works his way through the course, but was only able to complete 1 lap

Tyler Pinkston was riding great, and his performance got him to 4th in Schoolboy at the end!! Great ride Tyler!!
