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.

Tuesday Toolbox: Graham WiddicombeJuly 11, 2017Graham Widdicombe is an Englishman who has been racing 4x4 ATVs in the GNCC series for the last three years. He currently is competing in the 4x4 Senior class, and recently took his first-ever GNCC win at Snowshoe a few weeks ago. It was definitely not smooth sailing, but he got the job done. I gave Graham a call not long after The John Penton GNCC, to ask about Snowshoe and follow up on some of the things he talked about in his previous Tuesday Toolbox back in 2015.
