Thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers,
racers, and spectators that made the Heartland
Challenge possible, and we are already planning
for 2009, which will be bigger and better
and possibly warmer as we look at hosting
the event in August, but more details will
need to be worked out before making an official
announcement on the date, but one thing
is for sure, it will be back in Carlisle,
IA |
The first ever GBC Heartland Challenge was a
huge success. Everyone in attendance seemed to
have a good time and nothing but positive things
to say despite the bone chilling cold. . For those
who did not attend this years race certainly missed
out, but now have plenty of time to start training
and getting their machines ready the 2nd annual
GBC Heartland Challenge in 2009.
