Quick Fill #38: This Week in GNCCOctober 18, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
It’s hard to believe but there is now just one round remaining in the 2018 GNCC Racing season. Time truly does fly when you’re having fun, and if the speed this season has gone by is any indication, then we’ve obviously had a lot of fun. With the penultimate round at Powerline Park in the books, we’re now looking ahead to the biggest one of them all when we head to Crawfordsville, Indiana next weekend for the Ironman.
Quick Fill #37: This Week in GNCCOctober 11, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
It’s time once again to go GNCC Racing! It seems hard to believe but we’ve now reached the penultimate round of the season. For those who may be unfamiliar with that term, penultimate, it’s the formal way of saying “next to last” and it’s just kind of fun to say. Regardless, the season is beginning to wind down and before we know it we’ll be into the winter break and counting the days until the 2019 season starts. It really does seem like this season just began but here we are preparing for the end.
Quick Fill #36: This Week in GNCCOctober 8, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
Now you may be saying “hey wait a minute, it’s not Thursday?” and you’re correct. However, I had some odd computer issues last week and spent some time trying to get things back to 100%. That put a delay on Quick Fill and instead of posting it in the middle of the weekend when everyone is busy riding, racing or just getting chores done around the house, I figured waiting until Monday would give you something interesting to kick the week off with. With that said, we’ll just have a double Quick Fill week to make up for the delay. So let’s jump right into it.

Finally, its time to go GNCC Racing! This weekend we roll into the first-ever Mason-Dixon GNCC, which will be taking place on two former GNCC properties. It’s a bit unfortunate that it has been raining a bit on and off this week and it’s going to make for some wet conditions this weekend, but we hope that things just get better as the weekend goes on. The current forecast says we’re just about done with the rain and we’re looking to a good weekend forecast. It is going to be wet and slick but this is a fun course for sure, and a long one at that!
Quick Fill #34: This Week in GNCCSeptember 20, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
With another week in the books, we’re closer to finally getting back into the swing of GNCC Racing with next weekend’s Mason-Dixon GNCC in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania. This promises to be one of the coolest events of the season as this “new” event is actually a combination of two older GNCC events. If you haven’t already heard, the Mason-Dixon will consist of the Mathews Farm property that held GNCC events from 2001-2003 and will be crossing to the legendary High Point Raceway property, which hosted GNCC events for many years in addition to being a long-standing staple in the Pro Motocross series.
Quick Fill #33: This Week in GNCCSeptember 13, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill. Unfortunately our GNCC summer break has been extended due to the weather conditions that has left the Harpursville, New York area inundated with rain.
Quick Fill #32: This Week in GNCCSeptember 6, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
A few weeks back we had to report on the unfortunate passing of Cody Stickley and John Jarrett, who were both close to the GNCC Racing Nation. Well, unfortunately this week we’ve learned of two more folks, also close to the GNCC Racing Nation, who have passed. Brent Cahoon, known by many as “The Carbsport Guy” was an energetic, passionate and incredibly nice guy. Brent never knew a stranger and he was never afraid to lend a hand to someone who needed it. Not only had he been regular at GNCCs for quite a few years, but also you’d see him pop up at many other events from Pro Motocross to Loretta Lynn’s and much, much more. Brent suffered a heart attack while riding and while it’s an incredibly sad loss, Brent was lost doing something he loved.

The summer break is beginning to wind down as we head into Labor Day weekend. The next couple of weeks serve as a final push to prepare for the final rounds of the 2018 GNCC Racing season as we’re now just about two weeks away from kicking things back off with the Black Sky GNCC in New York. If you read last week’s edition of Quick Fill, you’ll already know what’s coming next as I want to repeat a few of those things because it’s good info.
Quick Fill #30: This Week in GNCCAugust 23, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
While we typically try to focus each week’s edition of Quick Fill on positive happenings within the GNCC Racing world, sometimes we do have some very unfortunate news to report. This has proven to be a tough week for the GNCC Racing Nation as we’ve learned of the passing of two folks closely tied with our racing community. GNCC Youth bike racer, Cody Stickley, was tragically lost this past weekend. It’s impossible to put into words how terrible the loss of such a young and promising soul could be, but we did issue a PR yesterday. You can read that HERE.
Quick Fill #29: This Week in GNCCAugust 9, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
It’s been a few hectic weeks for us as we’ve been down at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch for the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship last week and we now roll into this weekend’s ATV Motocross event. This should prove to be a pretty interesting race as Joel Hetrick and Chad Wienen are locking in an intense battle for the ATV Motocross National Championship, and it all comes down to these final two motos this Saturday. With that said, this week’s edition of Quick Fill will once again be a bit on the quick side as we’re busy here at the ranch getting things ready for this weekend.
Quick Fill #28: This Week in GNCCJuly 26, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
This week’s edition of Quick Fill comes to you all the way from Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. We’re down at the ranch getting things ready for next week’s Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship, so please bear with us as this and the next edition of Quick Fill will be a little bit on the short side. Things are beginning to come alive at the ranch, as there is already a pretty large number of riders camped out and ready to go racing next week. If you think people show up early for a GNCC event, think about the folks who have already been here for three days or longer and they don’t even hit the track until Monday!

The band Sly and the Family Stone had a funk/psychedelic soul song called “Hot Fun in the Summertime” and it seems like that’s exactly what the GNCC Racing Nation has been up to. Everywhere you look it seems like the GNCC faithful are having fun of some sort. Whether its riding, racing or vacation it seems like everyone is up to something fun as the summer break rolls by. For many, just because GNCC is on summer break doesn’t mean racing is taking a back seat. There’s still been a lot of racing going on and there’s more coming as we roll through the break.
