Tuesday Toolbox: Cody BarnesAugust 29, 2017While I always enjoy my Tuesday Toolbox interviews, it is especially exciting to interview someone that I already know personally. I grew up riding 85cc’s and Superminis in the OMA series with Cody Barnes. He kicked my tail at every race, and he’s only gotten faster since. Fast forward a few years, and in his first year of running the GNCC series in the PM race, he’s sitting in a close 2nd place in the 250 A class and has three top amateur honors under his belt (Big Buck, Camp Coker and Tomahawk). To top it all off, he and his dad are two of the nicest people you could meet here at the races. I spoke with Cody about what he did before bursting on to the GNCC scene and his future plans for his racing career.

Team UXC Racing 2017 Heartland Challenge Race ReportAugust 29, 2017Team UXC arrived in Iowa from all corners of the earth to again take on the Heartland Challenge weekend. The weekend consisted of 4 hour UTV, 10 hour ATV and 1.5-hour Ace races. With GNCC finishing later into the summer than usual, it meant many late summer nights in the workshops in order to put 11 machines on the start line ready to race. Despite the usual challenges, it was always a pleasure to turn up to one of Andy Kyner’s events. His team is welcoming and accommodating and we are happy to be able to support the event weekend.

Quick Fill #24: This Week in GNCCAugust 24, 2017Welcome to Quick Fill.
The summer break is winding down and we’re now just over two weeks away from returning to GNCC Racing at Unadilla. There’s a lot of excitement building and it seems like the majority of the GNCC Racing Nation is ready to get back at it. Of course, there’s a lot happening between now and then and we’ll fill you in on those things coming up a little later in this week’s edition of Quick Fill.
![Tuesday Toolbox: Robbie Pecorari]()
Tuesday Toolbox: Robbie PecorariAugust 22, 2017Robbie Pecorari (@robbiep2681) is a thirty-year old 4x4 Pro class racer from Aston, Pennsylvania. He works long hours during the week at his family’s business (SAI Hydraulics) manufacturing motors and gearboxes for heavy equipment, so that he can take the time off when needed to go compete. Though Robbie has been racing since he was seven, he only started racing quads five years ago, back in 2012. Though his season has been hit-or-miss so far, he has already had at least one major accomplishment. He has put his two biggest sponsors, one a newcomer to the industry and one a veteran, on the 4x4 pro podium for the first time ever. To accommodate busy schedules, I interviewed him via text over the course of about a week.
