2008 GNCC Series Rd's 1 & 2 Amatuer Coverage- Triton and The General
It is hard to believe that I sit here typing this with 2 rounds now complete in the series. I would like to apologize ahead of time because I was sick with the flu in Florida and did not get everything I wanted at the opening round. I figured it was best to avoid everyone for the most part to keep from being sick around those not sick Add to being ill the fact the first two rounds would be an 11 day road trip for us and you have yourself one miserable person and I have to thank my wife for packing enough kleenex's to get me through!
So, without further ado, lets get down to business and talk about the first two rounds of competition.
The Triton was held near St Cloud Florida were the sun was warm and many of us broke a sweat standing still for the first time in months! Located at the Kempfer ranch on 25,000 acres, room to stretch your elbows was not in short supply.
Months of off season wrenching, planning, racing and training were now in the past as the seconds ticked away for the start of the 2008 season
For a few riders, the practice session held on saturday was the first real chance for them to ride this year. Weather at home prevented Cody Hill from doing much of anything besides hit the gym.
Angel Atwell finished out the 2007 smoking hot as she racked up win after win. She knows that the road to the Womens class championship starts right here in round #1 and was carving through the first turn looking to hunt down the leader
Shanna Bradshaw was slow leaving the line and with good reason. A day before leaving for the race she jumped off some steps at home and tweaked her right foot bad. It was all kinds of black and blue and how she would be able to compete was beyond me. Heck it hurt me just to look at it!
