After deciding to retire from the XC1 class and full-time racing in 2017, he happened to borrow a 4x4 at Ironman and pilot it to a 4x4 Pro class win. After that, he rethought his retirement and instead switched classes.

Since we have interviewed Walker quite a bit over the years, we decided to ask a little less about his season and a little more about him personally – to give us a chance to get to know the man under the helmet a little better.

Tuesday Toolbox: Ben KelleyOctober 15, 2019Ben Kelley won the overall and XC1 class for the first time last weekend at the Mountaineer. That statement is impressive enough on its own, but when you add the fact that this is only his second time racing the XC1 class and that 3 years ago he was virtually an unknown rider racing locally in New England, it becomes downright incredible! Twenty-three-year-old Kelley wrapped up the XC2 title early this year, so decided to bump up to XC1 in preparation for the 2020 season. Kelley has a bright future ahead of him in GNCC racing, and we look forward to watching him over the next several years!

Tuesday Toolbox: Liam DraperOctober 8, 2019Liam Draper earned his first-ever XC2 250 Pro class win at the Mason-Dixon GNCC a few weeks ago. The twenty-two year-old from New Zealand is currently living in in Waynesburg PA, where the Tely Energy race team he rides for is based out of. This is Draper’s second season of racing GNCCs. He came to the states to try and make a living as a racer because he was on the top in NZ and there was nothing left for him back home. He just wrapped up the NEPG title last weekend, and we expect to see similarly great things out of him next year in the GNCCs.
