2004 GNCC Round #9 Patriot AM Race

[Pappy]

The Patriot round of the GNCC was held at the Virginia Motorsport Park located in Petersburg Virginia. The 9 mile course provided racers with plenty of obstacles and more then enough mud and ruts

The course also provided the riders an excellent motocross track which allowed for some great pictures and great racing!

Harlen spent the early morning chatting with racers and taking pictures before it was his time to saddle up.

Injured rider Chad Duvall made his way around the course helping out friends racing the AM event. Chad will be back on his quad at WISP if everything goes as planned. I was glad to see the Duvall crew in full force on Pro row and I wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery

Team Safari's Traci Cecco gets a few words of encouragement from husband Rick before the start. Traci and Rick are dynamite people and both are excellent racers. Its people like this that make GNCC racing such a friendly sport

The womans start was clean with Stephanie Parton grabbing the holeshot

Stock class followed with the white YFZ getting out front first. Harlen looked like he forgot to connect his kill switch and it cost him a decent start

Tyler Lenig (red cdale) rode like a pro taking the morning overall and class win

As the class rounds the first turn, Harlen Foley gets the big squeeze but rode to a decent finish, 7th in class

Utility Modified was up next and the 4 wheel drive would prove to be worth it in some sections of this course
