2008 GNCC Series-Round#4-"UTV RACE" Coverage!

[Pappy]

WOW!!! A great turn out at this round for the seasons first UTV GNCC event!

The race was held after the afternoon quad race on a 2 mile course. It offered a decent amount of challenging terrain and plenty of tight woods!

The machines ranged from stock to modified and everything in between.

TT Legend Shane Hitt was all ready to kick this thing off!

The teams were awesome, with everyone happy as could be and spirits high!

Now....the scary part for me was knowing what happens when a UTV running wide open makes contact with the average pine tree. I use these trees to protect me from quads when I am shooting the races and when this guy gave me the wild eye look, the thought crossed my mind that I had best find big trees

[Pappy]

As long as Jim Stack was riding shotgun, I figured I had a chance of not getting hit

[Pappy]

William Yokely had a very short amount of seat time in his Razor prior to the event. I wasn;t even sure he knew how to ride/drive something taht did not have handy bars!!!

[Pappy]

The first turn was wide enough for a UTV, maybe two And when they got the signal to go, the first line was off and running with Yokley out front !

[Pappy]

The start quickly showed the fans that the first turn could handle 3 or 4 wide!

[Pappy]

The number 51 machine of Denny Shadron had Adam McGill riding shotgun and who better to bring you some good luck!

[Pappy]

4 rows of class were staged as another class heads through the first turn

[Pappy]

This class was big and boy did they use every inch of the track!
