"We were all running nose-to-tail and
Adam took a bad line in a mud hole and I passed
him," said Kiser. "I wanted to challenge
Chris in the end, but there just weren't any
good lines to get by" At the finish, the
top three riders were separated by less than
two seconds, with Borich taking the win with
1.4 seconds to spare over Kiser. McGill followed
another 0.4 seconds back.

DWT's Chris Borich has spent most of the
winter down in Florida training &
it showed at round one as ran with the
lead group the entire race, but in the
final lap, he made his move to take the
lead with Taylor Kiser in chase, but not
within striking distance |
"It feels good to get the first one out
of the way," said Borich. "I knew
it was going to be a rough track and I just
paced myself and then made my move. I just let
the track come to me and everyone made little
mistakes and I was able to take advantage of
it. I pretty much made my moves around the mud
holes and anywhere else I could find."
Kiser, a native of Florida, was happy to make
the podium in front of a hometown crowd, but
he was disappointed at not getting the win.
"I kind of laid back a bit and just tried
to pace myself and once I pitted I dropped the
hammer and just tried to move to the front,"
said Kiser. "I guess I should have put
the hammer down a little sooner. There was just
nowhere to get by Chris on that last lap."

The Can-Am / Warnert Racing Team got off
to their best start of the GNCC season
ever with #3 Adam McGill & #13 Chris
Bithell finishing 3rd & 4th without
any issues |
After leading much of the first part of the
race, McGill was pleased with putting the Can
Am on the podium."The fuel-injection worked
really well and I was able to get the start,"
said McGill. "I've been working with [the
bike] for a while and I'm happy with it. I heard
somebody when I was running out front and I
looked back and it was Chris [Bithell, McGill's
teammate] and I was like, 'Yes!'"
