2008 GNCC Series-Round#6-"The John Penton"-ATV Race Coverage
Can you believe that this round marks the seasons half way point! I can still feel the first warm rays of that Florida sun at round one, and here we are now in Ohio at the John Penton. This round is cursed, as mother nature usually throws us one extreme or the other.....dust or mud and neither are ever in short supply.
Last year the dust was so bad that you couldnt hardly breathe in the woods, and this year the mud was so thick and slick that you could barely trudge through it!
Arriving at 6:30 am, and looking down at the main area of the pit area, the morning calm was not showing how wet everything had become during the night
My plan was simple, wear sneakers so that I would not be apt to running off in the mud no matter how badly i wanted to. Lucky for me there really wasn't any way around it, bad for mr. tennis shoe
John Rowlings- "Who set the alarm clock so early" look
John told me an interesting story about his ride home from a race. Not sure, but he said he played with his rod the whole way to stave off boredom Dont worry John, I will go fishin with ya!
