Trail Jesters KTM Racing – Camp Coker GNCC Race Report

The Trail Jesters KTM Racing team made their way to Society Hill, South Carolina to compete at round four of the 2021 GNCC Racing season. Back from injury this past weekend was Simon Johnson, as he got a good jump on the XC2 class line and raced his way to the first corner. Unfortunately Johnson went down in that first corner, but quickly got back onto the bike and began his chase down of the rest of the pack. Johnson struggled to get into a groove during the first half of the race as he sat in 14th place on lap one, but made his way up to 12th by midway through the race. Simon began to find comfort on the track as the race continued, catching up to 11th place and battling back and forth with him for the next few laps. By the last lap Johnson was able to hold down 11th place and gain a comfortable gap as he finished his first race back of the season 11th in XC2 and 25th overall. “It’s been about a year since my last GNCC and I’m happy with my results considering I was off the bike for awhile. My goals for the rest of the GNCC season are to focus on overalls and finishing strong.” Johnson stated as he looks forward to improving the rest of the year.
