“That was a lot of fun,” said Luburgh. “Jamie picked some really good lines. We really just wanted to come out, get our feet wet and get a finish. We knew we were doing well so we pushed on the last lap and we finished second. I couldn’t be happier. The whole Bikeman team is great. As the season goes on we’ll test some more, but we really had to rush for this one.”

Jamie & Jason Luburgh (Sister & Brother) secured a 2nd place finish in the XC1 Pro SxS Class in their debut with the Bikeman / rOtation Team

Polaris / UXC Racing’s Michael Swift stepped up the Pro Class this year after having finished second in XC2 SxS class last season.

With bottlenecks everywhere in the woods, it was a free for all & Michael Swift & Jason McCoy both tried to fit between two trees at the same time, which didn't work, but luckily they didn't damage their RZRs and both went on to top five finishes.

“I was a little nervous stepping up to the Pro Class, but the new Polaris RZR 1000S handles great,” said Swift. “We had a lot of fun today. Fourth is pretty good for me. I don’t spend a lot of time in the RZR; I spend most of my training on the four-wheeler. So I’m excited to get this kind of finish.”

Privateer racer Jerry Boling made his GNCC debut this weekend and finished fifth. Despite personal issues, Boling recorded the top five.

“To run with these factory guys doing it as an independent is very humbling,” said Bolling “I’d like to say thank you to my wife. We’ve had a difficult week; we lost two family members this week. She wanted me to run here. I also have to take my hat off to Addict Race Engines, Racertech and 360 Fly. That motor pulls so strong. We needed that power in the fields and especially in the mud holes. We had no time on this car. We had no time to really tune the shocks, so I’m really looking forward to the next round.”
