Quick Fill #29: This Week in GNCCSeptember 5, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill. We’re reaching the final portions of the summer break and this time next week, we’ll all be getting ready for the return of GNCC Racing! This is an exciting time; almost as exciting as the beginning of the season and it’s even more exciting when we’re heading to a new venue. Yes, torrential rains ended last year’s chances of seeing the Black Sky GNCC happen but this year is looking much better and with some improvements to the facility, we will be going racing next weekend! Speaking of which, avoid the lines and get through registration quickly by taking advantage of pre-entry! It’s open, so check it out!

Quick Fill #28: This Week in GNCCAugust 29, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill. Another week is in the books and the summer break is that much closer to coming to a close. The excitement of returning to GNCC Racing is really beginning to build and we’re looking forward to the Black Sky GNCC. First off, there’s been rumors floating around about Black Sky but here’s the fact, we ARE going racing at Black Sky! Rob Johnson, the landowner, has been working hard to put in a couple of new roads to make the entrance into the facility even better. These additions will tremendously improve the ingress and egress of the facility and of course, we’ve all got our fingers crossed for good weather.

Quick Fill #27: This Week in GNCCAugust 22, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill. Summer break is on its final leg as we’re now just around 3 weeks away from returning to racing with the Black Sky GNCC in Harpursville, New York. This event was slated to happen in 2018 but torrential rains flooded the facility leading up to the event. At that point, the facility lacked usable roads to get in and out of the pit area, which is very dangerous in the event of an emergency. Therefore, this would force the cancellation of the event last season. This year we’re excited to return and the landowner, Rob Johnson, will be hard at work soon putting in several roads. We’ve also got our fingers crossed for dry weather, so we’ll hope that holds!

Quick Fill #26: This Week in GNCCAugust 15, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill. First and foremost our apologies for the lack of Quick Fill posts the past few weeks. Things have been pretty crazy preparing, running and cleaning up down at Loretta Lynn’s, but things have finally began to slow down a bit and we’re ready to start counting down the days until we go GNCC Racing once again. However, we still have a few events to get through including this week’s Budds Creek Pro Motocross and of course next weekend’s Pro Motocross event at Ironman. So, while the GNCC summer break is in full swing, there’s no break for the Racer Productions staff!

Quick Fill #24: This Week in GNCCJuly 18, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill. The summer break is in full swing as things begin to quiet down for the GNCC Racing Nation. Some of you will spend your summer rehabbing yourself and getting everything ready for the final four rounds, and at the same time many of you will also be keeping yourself busy racing. No matter which you choose, don’t forget that the summer break will fly by and we’ll be back to racing before you know it. So, don’t spend too much time on the couch because there are still four rounds of racing left when we return.

Summer break is finally here and although it’s a few weeks later than what we traditionally see, last weekend’s High Voltage GNCC was well worth the delay. It was a pretty interesting weekend to put it lightly. It started out with really good conditions, then the final lap of the 11AM ATV race saw rain fall on just the last three miles of the racecourse. The opening lap of the 2PM ATV race was pretty good, but then heavy rainfalls would absolutely saturate the facility making for a slippery ride. Another bit of rain on Saturday evening would leave some folks either dreading or very excited for Sunday morning.

Wow, was that a great weekend of racing or what? I heard more than a few people comment that this was among the best Snowshoe events they’ve attended and we really got lucky with great weather all weekend long. Snowshoe is a unique event all in itself, but for several years now it’s been plagued with rainy weather at some point in the weekend. Other than a shower Thursday evening, and a few sprinkles earlier in the week, this year’s event stayed as dry as Snowshoe can be… Of course, there will always be mud at Snowshoe!

It’s time to go GNCC Racing and this weekend we return to the toughest event of the season for the 13th annual Snowshoe GNCC. This year’s event promises to be yet another great one as a rugged course awaits competitors looking to take on the mountain. Of course, we’re also slammed busy getting this thing ready, so this week’s edition of Quick Fill will truly be quick as we’re full swing in putting the final touches on everything for the weekend.

Seven rounds are in the books as we’re now over halfway through the 2019 GNCC Racing season. It’s hard to believe that because it seems like just yesterday we were kicking the season off in the sands of Florida. They say time flies when you’re having fun, so there’s no doubt that we’re having fun. Now, if you’re not a big fan of muddy conditions then maybe you haven’t had quite as much fun but we’ve got our fingers crossed that these rainy conditions we’ve been faced with race after race will stay away. Next up is Snowshoe, and due to the numerous springs under the mountain there will always be mud there but here’s to hoping no additional rainfall comes on top of that!

It's been a wild week here in New York getting things ready for this weekend's Tomahawk GNCC. The track crew has been hard at it making sure there's a great course in store for this weekend, and a while we've gotten some rain Thursday evening, every other day this week has been really nice and a little bit of rain will add some good moisture to the soil. Fingers crossed that it doesn't rain anymore though!

It’s time to go GNCC Racing once again! This weekend we head to Ohio for the 30th annual John Penton GNCC. This is a pretty monumental weekend with this event turning 30 years old, which is definitely pretty cool to see and the venue is just full of history. Last week I discussed a bit about why we honor John Penton with the naming of this event, so if you missed that, make sure you check that out HERE because it’s pretty cool to be reminded of all the things John has done for the racing world.

X Factor is in the books! Rains leading up to the event led many folks to expect a mudder, but while there were definitely some tough and muddy areas, it definitely was not a full-blown mud race. By Sunday afternoon there were a lot of sections of the course that really began to tack up nice and while it was definitely soft and rutted out, the track got better as the weekend wore on. This led to some pretty good racing by the end of the weekend, and while it may not have been a tight battle for the bike win on Sunday, it had it’s own unique feel.
