Quick Fill #3: This Week in GNCCJanuary 16, 2020Welcome to Quick Fill. It’s beginning to seem like the off-season is flying by, as we’re now just a hair over a month away from the opening round of the 2020 GNCC Racing season. This is an exciting time of the year as this is when everyone is full force making preparations for the new seasons and it’s only a matter of time until things go into “final preparation” mode in just a few weeks. This also means there’s a lot of riders getting in seat time, and we’ve talked about these off-season races several times in the past few weeks, and with more opportunities on the horizon, things are only going to get even more exciting.
