Quick Fill #21: This Week in GNCCMay 31, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
Another round of GNCC Racing is in the books and boy was it a tough one! Between the rains that fell late in the day Saturday and a long, grueling course on Sunday, The John Penton GNCC definitely lived up to its reputation as a great event to pay homage to off-road pioneer, John Penton. Sunday’s 1PM race was probably the toughest of the season with a long course at just over 14 miles and an old-school style John Penton Section to make things even more interesting. The downside to that was that the long lap made for a long overall race time, but it seems like folks really enjoyed the extra challenge.
Quick Fill #20: This Week in GNCCMay 24, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
Another week has flown by and we once again approach the time to go GNCC Racing. It’s pretty exciting as we head to Millfield, Ohio for the 29th running of The John Penton GNCC. This is the oldest venue on the schedule having seen it’s first even in 1990. Now some of you may be thinking 1990 was only 28 years ago and you’re correct. However, don’t forget that when a new event is added the first year is added to the count. It gets confusing sometimes, but just trust me; this IS the 29th annual John Penton GNCC.
Quick Fill #19: This Week in GNCCMay 17, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
It seems hard to believe it but we are now essentially halfway through the 2018 GNCC Racing season. With six rounds in the books, the first half of the 2018 season was nothing short of exciting. We’ve seen some of the closest racing that the series has seen in a number of years and each round proves to be equally as exciting as the last. It seems hard to top ourselves but it continues to happen and as we roll through the season, we’ve got the potential for some tight championship battles.
Quick Fill #18: This Week in GNCCMay 10, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
Another week is in the books and it’s time to go GNCC Racing once again. This time we make our first trip to Indiana for the second annual X-Factor Whitetails GNCC. I don’t believe anyone will soon forget last year’s inaugural X-Factor event, which stands out as one of the sloppiest GNCC events of all-time. However, even with some rain in the forecast, this year promises to be better (fingers crossed!) It actually could use some rain because it’s very, very dry here right now. We’ll have the low-down on the track coming up a little later in this week’s Quick Fill.
Quick Fill #17: This Week in GNCCMay 3, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
The weeks continue tick by in 2018 and we now roll one week closer to returning to GNCC Racing. We’re about to head north for the first time this season for the second annual X-Factor GNCC in Peru, Indiana. We’ve got our fingers crossed for good conditions at this year’s X-Factor event so the venue can live up to it’s true potential, which is pretty high! I feel like I say this about every track, but the X-Factor course will offer up a little of something for everyone with it’s mix of tighter and faster sections, plus some really cool up, down and off-camber sections.
Quick Fill #16: This Week in GNCCApril 26, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
Five rounds are in the books as we roll through the 2018 GNCC Racing season and thus ends our southern stint of the series. South Carolina’s Camp Coker Bullet GNCC is a perfect way to cap-off that southern stint as not only is it a great venue with lots of various activities, but it was a great track with some amazing racing as well. I feel like my personal opinion may be a little bias as this is actually the closest race we have to where I grew up in North Carolina and I visited Camp Coker in the past to ride the motocross track when it still held races, and well, I wasn’t afraid to jump back then.
Quick Fill #15: This Week in GNCCApril 19, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
It’s time to go GNCC Racing once again and this time we’re back in South Carolina for the Camp Coker Bullet GNCC. This is a fantastic place to hold a race and we’re very fortunately to be able to race at such a cool place. For those who have never been here, this event is held at the Moree’s Sportsman’s Preserve, which is a world class hunting and shooting facility. It’s also a world-class racing facility as it previously hosted motocross events on the Camp Coker Motocross track and for the third year in a row, it plays host to a round of GNCC Racing.
Quick Fill #14: This Week in GNCCApril 12, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
Wow, what a weekend! We’ve talked time and time again about how Steele Creek stands out as one of the most exciting and interesting GNCC events of the season and this year was no different. We saw two different riders earn their first overall wins of the season but both were hard fought battles down to the wire. We were faced with some less than ideal weather conditions at times throughout the weekend, but by the end things had taken a turn for the best and we ended up with a great weekend of GNCC Racing.
Quick Fill #13: This Week in GNCCApril 5, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
Here we go! It’s once again time to go GNCC Racing as we invade the scenic Steele Creek Park and Campground for this weekend’s FMF Steele Creek GNCC. Last week we talked about some of the more epic moments that have taken place at Steele Creek over the years. There’s no doubt that Steele Creek has produced its fair share of exciting moments, and it leaves many wondering if this year will produce another wild story for the Steele Creek record books.
Quick Fill #12: This Week in GNCCMarch 29, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
As we roll into Easter weekend and another weekend break from GNCC Racing, many folks will be spending time with their families enjoying the Easter break. Of course, for many GNCC families, this will also bring a time to talk about racing and get their machines prepared for Steele Creek. At the same time, when celebrating any holiday, never forget the reason the holiday exists and if you’re ever unsure exactly what a certain holiday is honoring, don’t be afraid to look it up!
Quick Fill #11: This Week in GNCCMarch 22, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill. Just like that, three rounds are in the books. All three have been pretty exciting in their own right and if this is what we have to expect out of the rest of the 2018 GNCC Racing season, then this year is definitely going to be one for the record books.
Quick Fill #10: This Week in GNCCMarch 15, 2018Welcome to Quick Fill.
Wow, that was a tough one. Every year when we head to Florida, we know that we’re in for miles and miles of rugged terrain and some challenging sand whoops. While it definitely gets rougher as the weekend rolls on, riding in the sand is a real treat for a lot of folks. Some may not enjoy it too much, but others like feeling as if you’re riding on a beach, so there’s no doubt that the Wild Boar course was a fun one even when it got tough.
