2006 GNCC Series Round #8 -The Spartan - Sparta, KY - Preview & Discussion

[Admin]

Sparta, KY - After the mudfest of 2004, which forced the cancellation of the bike race on Sunday, there was a Sparta II later in the year, but the location was removed from the schedule in 2005 due to a schedule conflict with the nearby car racetrack.

The Spartan is back for 2006, and with a huge group of Kentucky racers, the parking area quickly began to fill up.

For the Youth ATV Racers, this will be last race before the summer break.

Houser Racing’s Jeff Houser decided to signup to race in the C Class on Saturday.

I also will be racing this weekend on a Polaris Predator and Jeff Stoess will join me on Polaris Outlaw, so we headed over to John Gallagher to help us prepare are machines for the race.

After installing some updates on the Outlaw, it was time for Jeff to install a twist throttle, and it was time to head out and snap some quick photos before tomorrows race.

Jeff Stoess geared up in some Polaris riding gear and we headed out from some photos, and he would get a few minutes of seat time before the race.

[Admin]

Jeff looked extremely comfortable on the Outlaw in stock trim, and he hasn't rode since an ATV since November, so it will be interesting to see how he does tomorrrow.

[Admin]

I will be racing the Polaris Predator Troy Lee Version along side of Jeff in the Morning Race as we will both be racing the Sportsman Class.

As the sun began to go down, it was time for many to setup their tents for a night under the stars before tomorrows race, which might be a little muddy. The forecast is for a chance for rain showers and temperatures in the 60's.

Walker Fowler once again takes the overall podium spot in the youth race. Michael Keleman takes the second place spot.
