Mountaineer Run, Round 11 of the GNCC took place this weekend in Masontown, West Virginia where weather was in the low 80’s with mid-level humidity. This round was a ten mile loop with lap times averaging about 27 minutes. Conditions were extremely dusty and rocky making it hard to see a lot of obstacles.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Josh Strang started off the line, rounding the first corner mid-pack. From there, the elements of dust and technical riding took its toll and he began to drop back from the pack. During lap four, Strang experienced a big crash over the handlebars of his FX 450, and landed hitting his head. The impact left him dizzy and unable to continue the race.
