½ Hour before the start of the morning race, the riders were released from staging to the starting area, and for many, the ride to the starting gate wasn’t pleasant as many received flat tires from a stake buried in the mud that punctured their tires.
Luckily for Mike Butler, he wasn’t one of the unlucky riders. Mike Butler makes the trip to the GNCC events all the way from Missouri, and after traveling to the races last year just to support his son, Pro Rider #24 Rhett Butler in the Afternoon, he decided to give GNCC racing a try this season himself, and he has done extremely well, which is no surprise considering speed of his teenage son.
Mike Butler is currently 2nd in Points in the C Class 35+ behind the extremely fast Thomas Wright.
