Quick Fill #13: This Week in GNCCMarch 31, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
Once again it’s time to go GNCC Racing and we’re back in familiar territory with the FMF Steele Creek GNCC. This year marks the 17th running of Steele Creek and promises to be one of the best to date. Last week we discussed a few of the most epic moments from the history of Steele Creek and it leaves a big question; will this year be another for the history books? The storyline of the 2016 GNCC Racing season has built up through the first two rounds and round three at Steele Creek is already shaping up to be one of the best Steele Creek races in history, and there’s not even any racing going on yet.

Quick Fill #12: This Week in GNCCMarch 24, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
Another week is in the books and while traditionally we’d be gearing up for round three this weekend, leap year and an early Easter have pushed the schedule back ever-so slightly, so we’ve got an extra weekend off before we go racing at Steele Creek. For some, it’s a nice break to find some extra seat time, make more adjustments to their machine, or just spend Easter Weekend with the family. Of course, there are others who are ultimately ready to get back to racing!

Quick Fill #11: This Week in GNCCMarch 18, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
Whew, it’s hard to believe that the opening rounds have already come and gone. At times, it seems like the off-season drags on and then once it gets down to crunch time, then into race time, all of that time flies by. Regardless, I believe everyone really enjoyed the tracks for this year’s first two rounds. They were a good bit different than what we’ve experienced in the past and there were very few people who didn’t have a blast.

Obermeyer Suzuki MCS Race Report: CannonballMarch 17, 2016Once again the Suzuki RM-Z450’s of Chris Douglas and Ricky Russell would fire to life quickly and put them in the lead pack off the start.

Ricky would be consistent on the day and end up in 9th in XC1.
