Hurricane Mills - After starting the season in Florida and working it way up the East Coast to the Carolinas, the GNCC Series now westward bound to the coal miner’s daughter, Loretta Lynn’s Ranch nestled in hills of Tennessee just over an hour west of, Country Music Capital, Nashville.
Last year, thunderstorms dumped buckets of rain on the track the night before the race, which turned most of the ranch into a lake as the river overflowed it banks, and this year, racers were created once again with rain as they arrived at the track with heavy rain moving in Thursday night prior to them arriving and lasting into Friday with scattered showers. Fortunately, the weather wasn’t as extreme as last year, and as of now there are only puddles and mud to deal with as river remains within its banks, which hopefully will remain the case especially this year because the area flooded last year is the main parking lot for the Pros and the vendors.
From how quickly the fields began filling up with vehicles is surely doesn’t look like the poor weather and ridiculously high gas prices have deterred many from making the trip to the oldest track on the GNCC schedule, which remains a favorite of many riders including six time champion, Bill Ballance.
