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.

UX Race Report: Round 2 Maxxis CannonballMarch 16, 2016The Team UXC Racing family came together again in Sparta after a week of preparation ready to take on the Georgia clay. Thankfully, unlike last year, the sun was shining and the temperature was in the 80s. It was going to be warm and humid when the flag dropped. The track was fast and flowing but would be sure to rough up as the race went on. Polaris chassis, Teixeira-Tech A-arms and Custom Axis suspension set up would be critical on race day to make the most of the strong power of the Polaris Scrambler 1000XP motor. With 10 miles of track to tackle, lappers were still going to be an issue even on such a fast going course with plenty of open sections.
