Round three of the GNCC series headed due north to scenic Morganton, North Carolina to the campground of "Steele Creek". Nestled in the mountains and bringing the racers back to typical XC style terrain, this round looked to set the stage for another epic battle in the Pro class as Bill Ballance is already out to a lead over hard charging Chris Borich. Borich's crew had discovered some power in their Curtis Sparks engine and wanted badly to get thier first win of 2007.
The weather looked to be almost perfect for the saturday event as the pits began to fill up friday afternoon. This round is one of the most scenic stops of the series as a beautiful stream cuts the facility in half giving incredible views of this part of the country.
