Quick Fill #20: This Week in GNCCMay 19, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
Round six is in the books as the 2016 GNCC Racing season continues to push forward. This year’s Limestone 100 GNCC was nothing short of challenge for just about everyone. Rain in the week prior to the race saturated the track and made for a fairly tough and muddy race throughout the whole weekend. Even though the last bit of rain fell Friday night, it was still wet enough that even the bike races on Sunday saw a bit of mud, even with a good bit of sun helping to dry things out. By no means was it a full-blown mud race, but it added a challenge for sure.
