Also piloting a 2015 Suzuki RM-Z250 in this years GNCC series is Cole Kirchoff, who is contesting the 250 A class. While Coles Start was not textbook, his challenge would be attempting to better his finish by weaving his way past as many of the 50 other racers in his class before the checkered flag would fly. After nearly 30 minutes of racing Cole would emerge from the woods in 7th place on the opening lap. As the race wore on Coles training program was obviously strong enough in the off season to allow him to mount a charge that would see him move to 4th by lap 2, up to 3rd on lap 4. Then stopping for fuel and a fresh pair of Dragon Goggles, he would drop the hammer and move in 2nd place with a lap to go, and a deficit of over 3 minutes to the leader. He was in attack mode with nearly 3 hours of racing completed; his conditioning was on full display. On the final lap Cole would shrink the deficit by a whole 2 minutes posting an impressive lap time and landing him with a solid 2nd place performance on the day.
