The B Class C&D Racing Team consisted of Colby Kostman, Tyler Peden, and Chancy Tomlinson) It was pretty cool that Hebo stepped up and sponsored them matching gear for the event.

The GNCC Senior Riders John Kenney Sr. and John Cunnigham Jr. were originally planning on racing together as a team, but family plans changed the situations at the last minute Johns Mobile Service Race Team was formed with John Kenney Jr, John Cunnigham Jr., and Steve Cunningham to compete in the B Class on Kenney's 450R.

John Kenney Jr. is probably a familar face to many that race on ITP Tires in the GNCC Series because he is normally at the trailer helping mount and dismount tires before the races. The Kenney & Cunningham families are a great group of family racers.

Peter Stadtmueller was the starting man for the HMF A Class Team. Pete is one of the nicest guys you will find at the track, and he is always willing to offer a hand to anyone. He races the Junior Class in the GNCC Series and has been having a consistant year and is currently 4th in points.

With 5PM approaching fast, Riders & their pit crew began making their way to riders meeting to hear run down on the rules for the race.

Tom Prendergast is the Official Ref for the ATV of America races is a very easy going guy before and after the race, but once the race starts he is one to go by the book. He doesn't tolerate cheating or breaking the rules in anyway, and he made it extremely clear to all the riders before the race. John Pellan definitely chose the right guy for the position.

The ATV of America races are scored like no other ATV race that I have been too in the past. They utilized transponders that were mounted to the ATV, which automatically scored the riders when they crossed the finish line each lap. This was awesome because the scoring didn't take away from the race. Hopefully, this scoring will eventually be used in other racing events.

With John Rowlings preparing to race, Team Quadshops Fred & Marty discussed where they planned on taking photos during the race.
