Quick Fill #26: This Week in GNCCJune 30, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
Summer break is officially here and while it’s nice to take a little time to relax and get things reset for the final four rounds in the fall, it also feels a little weird to not be looking ahead to the next GNCC event for quite some time. I’m sure there’s some folks out there already counting down the days until Unadilla and while there’s plenty of summer fun to be had, the time will fly by and we’ll be getting ready to head to Unadilla before we know it.

The 2016 GNCC Racing season rolls on and while it seems like the season just kicked off last week, we’re already approaching the final round before summer break. Most everyone will agree that Snowshoe is one of the most excellent ways to end the first part of the GNCC Racing season. What better place to spend a weekend together than one of the finest ski resorts the United States has to offer, and on top of that, ending the first part of the season with a bang on the toughest GNCC course of the season is always great as well.

Round eight is in the books as we now begin to prepare for our final round before summer break with the Amsoil Snowshoe GNCC. As usual, Snowshoe is a heck of a way to put the season on pause for summer break as the air is usually cooler atop Snowshoe Mountain, and of course the ultra-rugged terrain is a great way to cap off the first part of the GNCC season. Ryan Echols and I have heard from a lot of people who want a tough Snowshoe race and while the final course layout is still up in the air, we definitely want to try to deliver some technical and fun sections. You definitely want to be sure to check out next week’s edition of Quick Fill for the low-down on what to expect out of this year’s Snowshoe racecourse.

This week’s edition of Quick Fill comes to you from Odessa, New York where preparations are underway for this weekend’s Dunlop Tomahawk GNCC. This marks the second-ever Tomahawk GNCC and it already promises to live up to last year’s standards. The only negative so far this week is, well, it’s been kind of cold! Temperatures were in the 50s yesterday and drop as low as the mid-40s last night. It’s pretty crazy for GNCC Racing to see these kinds of temperatures in June, well, except for Snowshoe.
Quick Fill #22: This Week in GNCCJune 2, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
Another round of GNCC Racing is down for the 2016 season and we continue to press forward as the season wears on and time begins to tick away. We’re now beyond the halfway point of the season and there’s only two rounds separating us from summer break. If the racing is anything like what we’ve seen through the first part of the season, then we’re in for a real treat in these next two rounds. Tomahawk and Snowshoe are both excellent events in their own right, but throw in the possibility of some of the closest racing the world of GNCC Racing has ever seen and we’re in for a treat before summer break begins.
Quick Fill #21: This Week in GNCCMay 26, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
This week’s edition of Quick Fill comes to you from Millfield, Ohio, home of this weekend’s Wiseco John Penton GNCC. The Penton is the oldest event currently on the GNCC schedule and has seen it’s fair share of incredibly great racing over the years and this weekend promises to be the same. If you read last week’s edition of Quick Fill, Rodney and I both discussed how intense the racing was at our previous round in Indiana and there’s a pretty good chance that we’ll see that intensity carry over to this weekend’s event.
Tuesday Toolbox: Lucas ToweryMay 24, 2016Lucas Towery is a familiar face in the world of GNCC Racing. It’s not uncommon to see the entire Towery Family at a GNCC event as Lucas’ dad, Ricky, is the GNCC start/finish line referee. His mom, Lynn, also works at Rider Registration and when his brother Robby is able to make it to a race, you can catch him on the track as well. We caught up with Lucas to hear more about his 2016 season and much, much more!

Round six is in the books as the 2016 GNCC Racing season continues to push forward. This year’s Limestone 100 GNCC was nothing short of challenge for just about everyone. Rain in the week prior to the race saturated the track and made for a fairly tough and muddy race throughout the whole weekend. Even though the last bit of rain fell Friday night, it was still wet enough that even the bike races on Sunday saw a bit of mud, even with a good bit of sun helping to dry things out. By no means was it a full-blown mud race, but it added a challenge for sure.

This weekend we continue the saga of the 2016 GNCC Racing season with the Limestone 100 GNCC in Springville, Indiana. The crew has been hard at work getting the Lawrence County Recreational Park ready for this weekend’s race and a little later in this week’s edition of Quick Fill, we’ll have some details on what you can expect out of the course this weekend, so make sure to read on for the scoop!
Quick Fill #18: This Week in GNCCMay 5, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
Another round is history as we continue to rocket our way through the 2016 GNCC Racing season. The inaugural Camp Coker Bullet GNCC was a load of fun for some, and a tough weekend at the races for others. Saturday’s ATV races saw near-perfect conditions, even with a few little wet spots, but unfortunately the rains came Sunday morning and made things pretty challenging for those in the 10AM and 1PM races. It’s very unfortunate because the track was an absolute blast before the rain put a bit of a hurting on the racecourse.

Are you ready to go GNCC Racing again this weekend? Well, hopefully so because we’re rolling into round five with the inaugural Camp Coker Bullet GNCC in Society Hill, South Carolina. It almost seems unbelievable that we’re already reaching the fifth event of the season as it feels like the season opener was just a couple of weeks ago. They say time flies when you’re having fun, so clearly we’ve been having a pretty fun season because it’s flying by.

Hopefully by this point in the week everyone has been able to clean themselves up from all the dust and are ready to push forward to the next event. Big Buck was a bit on the dry side and while a little rain wouldn’t have hurt anything, at least we weren’t racing in the mud! Unless you like that, then, well, sorry it didn’t rain! The dust was possibly one of the biggest stories of the weekend and it added yet another challenge to the race itself. However, I saw less riders with goggles off than I have in a long time, so if nothing else, it was easy on goggles!
