Charlie Welch takes a look at the next turn as he rides to a class win in 70 CVT!!
Charlie had this to say after the race:
"I got a new 70cc DRR quad over the winter. I also got invited to be on the GT Thunder mini youth team.
I started round #1 with an awesome suspension from GT Thunder and I was #2 on the holeshot. We had an amazing 15 quads in the class. I led lap #1 with 2 70's right on my butt. I shook one racer, but Seth Brown gave me static for the next 2 laps until I finally broke away and got the 1st win of the season . I knew I was passing many racers and thought I would have a decent overall but my dad let me know the good news with a loud scream and hug. Our goal for the season was to get a top 10 and we got 7th overall. I was shocked!!!! This is the 1st top 10 for a 70 cvt quad in gncc history and hopefully I can put together a good race and do it again.
I would like to think Midwest Moto, GT Thunder,
HyghOctane Graphics,Lucas Oil, RaceDaypics,Finish Line Cafe,Snydermotorsports, and especially my family and friends."
Jay Shadron was flyin! I believe he suffered mechanical issues on the last lap and was in contention to win the overall by time. Tough break Jay...you'll make up for this at round 2~!
