Quick Fill #15: This Week in GNCCMay 2, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill.
Yes, we ARE racing this weekend. It’s no secret that it’s been raining on and off out in Indiana but this weekend’s X Factor GNCC is still on. The good news is that the landowner, Russ Bellar, has put in a lot of work to make some good roads through the facility. There are nearly 4,000 truckloads of millings (that crushed up asphalt like you see at Ironman) through the field now, so getting in won’t be an issue. The grass in the fields is pretty wet and muddy, but out in the woods there’s dry dirt to be found in some places. So you can expect some wet conditions this weekend, but right now it’s not looking like the same kind of mudder we had in 2017.

Another week has flown by and we’ve officially logged four rounds of GNCC Racing through the 2019 season. It’s kind of hard to believe we’re already this far along as it seems like we just got started yesterday. Time flies when you’re having fun and next thing you know we’ll be rolling into the summer break. Speaking of which, we did get the schedule changes all set in stone a couple of weeks ago, so let’s discuss that real quick.

What a great weekend of racing we had at Steele Creek. It’s never ceases to amaze me how many people show up to enjoy a weekend of racing there, and it’s mind boggling how many people can fit into that place. Yes, we know it’s not perfect and there are some issues to sort out, but having a large crowd of racers and spectators alike can be a good problem to have because that means everyone is out enjoying a fun weekend of GNCC Racing.
Quick Fill #12: This Week in GNCCMarch 21, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill.
Wow. What a fun couple of weeks. We’ve finally gotten through the opening rounds of the season and saw some great racing along the way. Even better was the fact that we were greeted with some good weather for those rounds, which in return made for some great conditions out on the race track. Overall, we’re pretty lucky to have seen two excellent opening rounds and hopefully this is a sign of things to come throughout the rest of the 2019 GNCC Racing season.

It’s time to go racing once again! There’s been an insane amount of rumors going around this week and they are all untrue and pretty ridiculous. To clear things up, we ARE racing this weekend, we ARE racing at The General and the track is NOT under water. In fact, it’s dry enough right now that when I’ve stopped to put up arrows my dust catches up to me, so a little bit of rain would actually help the track out a bit. They’re calling for scattered showers tomorrow (Friday) and if you’re not sure what that means, “scattered” means there will be small on and off showers throughout the day, which would be nice to help keep the dust down!
Quick Fill #10: This Week in GNCCMarch 7, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill.
Wow, it’s finally here! It’s time to go GNCC Racing. It’s unfortunate that it took this long to get the season rolling due to the Big Buck postponement, but the good news is it’s now time to get things started. We’ll also have an update on the rescheduling information soon. I know it seems like this is taking a while, but there are many, many factors that go into making a decision that works logistically for us and the GNCC Racing Nation, and we’re also looking at a solution to fill the TBA date. So stay tuned as we hope to have something finalized soon.
Quick Fill #9: This Week in GNCCFebruary 28, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill.
The extended off-season ticks off one more week and we’re now another week closer to finally kicking off the 2019 GNCC Racing season. While the past few years have proven to be successful kicking the season off in South Carolina, this year we unexpectedly return the opening round to the traditional sands of Florida. This means a long and grueling day in the saddle through the deep Florida sand to kick off the season. That sounds like a total blast to some folks, and for others it’s probably not something you’re not too excited about.
Quick Fill #8: This Week in GNCCFebruary 22, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill.
Wow, this is not really the week we were looking for. We were supposed to be kicking things off in South Carolina at this point, but torrential rainfalls have halted that plan and forced the opening round to the sands of Florida for the Wild Boar GNCC in a couple of weeks. Obviously we never want to postpone an event but I can assure you all, you would’ve been even more upset had the Big Buck event happened. I’ve been coming to Big Buck for a long time and I’ve never seen the kind of standing water that was there Wednesday morning.

Crunch time is here! This time next week we’ll be preparing to kick off the 2019 GNCC Racing season with round one at Big Buck. In some ways it feels like it’s been a long time since last season ended, but in many other ways it feels like the off-season has flown by. No matter which way you feel, the one thing that is for sure if that it’s a great feeling to be getting back to racing and we definitely can’t wait to get things rolling.
Quick Fill #6: This Week in GNCCFebruary 7, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill.
Wow, the off-season is really winding down and we’re getting close to kicking off the 2019 GNCC Racing season. The official count has us at just 16 days away from the start of the season. That means you’ve only got a little over two weeks to get prepared and that time will fly because for a lot of folks, the past few weeks have been a blur. This is officially crunch time, and everything is coming down to the wire. Are you ready to go racing? We are!
Quick Fill #5: This Week in GNCCJanuary 31, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill.
The winter break is beginning to wind down as everyone prepares to get back into the swing of things heading into the 2019 season. For some, racing has already begun, and for others there may be some off-season racing coming soon. For others, round one of the 2019 GNCC Racing season may be their first round of racing for the year. No matter what category you fall into, you’re surely ready to get back into the swing of racing and the good news is that we’re going to be kicking that off in just three weeks!
Quick Fill #4: This Week in GNCCJanuary 24, 2019Welcome to Quick Fill.
Wow, we’re actually approaching what folks will consider “crunch time” leading up to the opening round of the 2018 GNCC Racing season. We’re now just 30 days away from going racing in South Carolina. This means it’s time to get that final push together in terms of getting your machines, your gear and your bodies ready to get back to racing because you’ll be sitting on the starting line before you know it. Every year it seems like the off-season flies by faster and faster but the good thing about that is the fact that it’s less time we spend away from the track.
