2006 GNCC Series Round #9 -The Wisp - McHenry, MD



Round #9 of the GNCC series rolled it's way into the Wisp Ski resort for what is usually one tough course. Riders who have braved this track in the past know full well it can rip your quad to pieces and leave you stranded to enjoy the scenic views from high atop the mountains.


This is the first GNCC I have been up to attending this season, and it was great seeing old friends and catching up with everyone. Mike Penland is always ready to go, and the hurry up and wait game was in full effect!

Morning ATV Results

John Gallagher Sr. had found himself a hat. He said it was previously damaged with logo's from a quad that was not worthy to be placed on his head. After a quick retro fit, he proudly displayed his newest headgear!

I did not get hard numbers, but it did seem that entry numbers were lower then in years past. With the rising cost of fuel, it surely could be a contributing factor.

The morning racers started lining up on the slick grassy slope at the starting area.
