The Mud Mucker GNCC lived up to its name
with Florida getting its fair share of rain
this winter along with some more rain on Thursday
as everyone began arriving at the track, which
made for wettest season opener since the 2003
Hurricane GNCC in nearby Palatka, FL
With plenty of newcomers to the pro ranks,
the pro start had the most racers in several
years, which made for an exciting start, but
when the dust cleared round turn one, Maxxis
Tire’s Chris Borich grabbed the holeshot closely
followed by Chris Bithell.

Chris Borich quickly surrendered the lead
by encourage Chris Bithell to make the pass.
In typical Borich style, he settled in behind
Bithell till the final lap of the race, when
Borich started to make his moves to regain
the lead with the pair swapping the lead back
and forth several times, but in the final
miles of the race, Borich had a hanging tree
branch pull out his tether cord, which shut
off his quad unexpectedly, which allowed Bithell
to regain the lead heading into the final
several miles of fields before the finish.
