2007 GNCC Series Round #2 - The General -AM Race Coverage
Washington GA Round #2
Round two rolled into the Aonia Pass MX facility, located in Washington GA this past weekend as the series marches into 2007. This is one of the GNCC tracks that offers racers and spectators the opportunity to strut their stuff on a MX track and mix up the cross country racing. The large field sections turn into high speed straights that allow the riders to really stretch out after leaving the woods.
The buzz around the pits friday evening centered around a large obstacle Racer Productions had set up right before the finish line, which had some racers very nervous, while others knew the morning racers would surely be directed around it.
Following up the opening round in Florida, racers arrived at this round sun tanned and looking like it was July more then March! Most spent the last 9 days in the south taking a spring break as it were.
From my position back in the woods, I could not tell who was in front or see the starts. All I could hear was the sound of racing coming my way. When the first riders appeared, it was Stephanie Parton with a very slight lead over Traci Cecco
John Bowers finished 2nd at the opening round, and was running good at the start of this round as the dust envelopes the riders. The weather was decent, with the sun fading in and out of clouds that everyone had their eye on. Georgia can get nasty with rain!
4x4 Open came through making the dust fly, and seeing these big machines dart in and out of the trees is pretty sketchy, especially when they are coming right at you!
