Quick Fill #22: This Week in GNCCJuly 20, 2017Welcome to Quick Fill.
The GNCC summer break rolls on and as the temperatures start to rise throughout much of the east coast I believe many folks are happy to see summer break come. Of course, at the same time there are still plenty of folks who can beat the heat and wouldn’t mind it at all. Don’t worry though, we’ll get back to racing before you know it because summer break always flies by and September is just around the corner.
![Tuesday Toolbox: Kenny Hawkins]()
Tuesday Toolbox: Kenny HawkinsJuly 18, 2017Kenny Hawkins is a 48-year-old ATV and bike racer from Elkins, West Virginia, a small town just outside of Snowshoe Mountain. He races the Super Senior A classes in both divisions; he is currently fourth in points in the ATV class and third on the bike side. He earned his first amateur overall podium at Snowshoe Mountain in the AM Bike race, which he then followed up with a second place overall at the John Penton, again in the AM Bike race. In an unfortunate error, however, his overall finishing position at Snowshoe was not recognized in time for the podium ceremony. So as a peace offering, especially given his excellent standings in both his bike and ATV classes and because top-3 overall finishes are generally pretty cool, we decided to gives this week’s Tuesday Toolbox to Kenny.

Quick Fill #21: This Week in GNCCJuly 13, 2017Welcome to Quick Fill.
Summer break is here! Although it wasn’t the same time frame as originally planned, it seems to be a welcome break for some, while others are chomping at the bit to get back to racing. Of course, if you go anywhere outdoors on much of the east coast right now you’ll probably be glad that we’re not racing until things cool down a little! Of course, there’s still plenty of opportunities to get in your racing fix throughout the summer break and we’ll tell you about some of those as the break rolls on.
