mishaps.

Sparta, KY (6/3/2008) -
FRE KTM Factory ATV riders Adam McGill and Taylor
Kiser made their way to Kentucky for the seventh
round of the ATV GNCC Series where hot weather
and a long day awaited.
Both FRE KTM Factory riders got a decent jump
off the line as the herd of riders neared the
first turn. Kiser almost had the holeshot nailed
down until a rider hit him from behind pushing
him into another group of riders. Kiser and
the riders he collided with were stuck together
and lost precious seconds untangling from each
other. Meanwhile, McGill was sitting in 4th
looking for another good run.
Now back on the track, Kiser had begun to move
through traffic to gain back positions he had
lost on the start. He had moved up into the
top twenty and was neck and neck with another
rider down a fast straightaway heading toward
the woods. When they neared the turn to enter
back into the woods Kiser and the rider smashed
into each other causing both riders to go down.
After the crash, Kiser came in for a pit stop
to grab a new helmet and goggles. During this
time, his teammate, McGill was having a pretty
good run up front. McGill had moved into 2nd
and even led for a bit in the first few laps
but dropped back to 4th after getting a stick
wedged in his front end. He pit on the third
lap to quickly get the stick removed before
going out for lap four.

got taken out of the race after debris
knocked off his chain, broke the sprocket
bolts, and bent the sprocket.

On the fourth lap, Kiser was busy plowing through
traffic trying to gain as many positions as
he could before the checkered flag. McGill was
back in 4th and had started to ride a comfortable
race until he hit debris that derailed his chain,
broke his sprocket bolts and bent the sprocket.
The damage done to his KTM was enough to take
him out of the race.
At the finish, Kiser had made up an incredible
distance and managed to salvage a respectable
10th place class finish. With seven rounds down
McGill sits 2nd in points while Kiser hangs
on to 7th.
