Quick Fill #2: This Week in GNCCJanuary 14, 2016Chances are if you’re reading this today, you didn’t score big on the $1.5 Billion Powerball. Don’t feel bad, neither did I, nor a lot of other people. I saw a lot of chatter on social media about “if I won the Powerball, I would…” and there were definitely some pretty creative ones. I really liked the people who mentioned ways they would give back to the sport, and it was also cool to see some folks say that they wouldn’t change much about their daily lives.
Quick Fill #1: This Week in GNCCJanuary 7, 2016Welcome to the first Quick Fill of 2016.
The weeks still continue to tick away as we work closer and closer to the beginning of the 2016 GNCC season. The good news is, we’re now officially into the New Year and that means that we’re starting to see the final off-season preparations beginning to take place. From here, it becomes all about riding and off-season racing as the winter break starts to wind down. In fact, there’s already been some racing going on and we’ll have some more details on that a little later.
Quick Fill #51: This Week in GNCCDecember 31, 2015Welcome to the final Quick Fill of 2015, on the final day of 2015!
With 2015 officially coming to a close, attention now turns to 2016 and what it has in store. Not just for GNCC Racing, but the whole world in general. With a new year approaching, many take it as an opportunity to exercise the "new year, new me" type of thing. Or maybe they just use it as a way to get excited for the coming year. No matter what, the dawn of a new year is something special for everyone.
Quick Fill #50: A GNCC Night Before ChristmasDecember 24, 2015Christmas is upon us, and with Quick Fill taking a slight break this week, what better way to fill the spot than with a special GNCC edition of The Night Before Christmas...
Quick Fill #49: This Week in GNCCDecember 17, 2015This is it! Round 14 is coming up this weekend. No, we’re not talking about a surprise round of racing; we’re talking about this year’s GNCC Banquet. The banquet always has a unique feel and with everyone coming together, it really feels like another round of racing. Just without the racing part. I know it’s been said quite a bit throughout the past few weeks but the banquet really is a special weekend for everyone to come together and enjoy time away from racing. Chelsea will have a little more information on the banquet coming up a little later, so read on for that.
Quick Fill #48: This Week in GNCCDecember 10, 2015Time continues to tick away this off-season, and while things still seem to be a bit on the quiet side, we’re not far off from seeing some off-season racing action start taking place. The good news for most folks though is, so far there’s been slightly above average temperatures up north, so there’s still plenty of riding going on. There’s also some riders already beginning to start prepping their new machines, and more will be coming before we know it.
Quick Fill #47: This Week in GNCCDecember 3, 2015Hopefully everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday, and if you missed out on last week’s special Thanksgiving edition of Quick Fill, make sure to check that out HERE for a really cool story from one of the members of the GNCC Racing Nation. It’s definitely worth reading and really puts things into perspective. Even though we’re past Thanksgiving, there’s always time to be thankful, so check it out.

Quick Fill #45: This Week in GNCCNovember 19, 2015The off-season continues to roll on, and while things are really beginning to slow down in the off-road racing world, we’re inching closer and closer to the banquet. In many ways, the banquet is like a 14th round of GNCC Racing, just without the actual racing part. It’s a great get-together for everyone involved in the world of GNCC Racing and of course it’s a great way to honor all the class and national champions.
Quick Fill #44: This Week in GNCCNovember 12, 2015The off-season is officially in full-swing and before long we’re going to see a ton of info coming in as to who will be riding what and for what teams in 2016. Overall, it’s been a little bit on the quiet side and I wouldn’t expect very many big shake-ups. However, I have heard of several deals on the rise, including a couple of new teams that will be announced soon, so stay tuned as that info will definitely be coming out in the next few weeks.
Quick Fill #43: This Week in GNCCNovember 5, 2015This week’s edition of Quick Fill, for me at least, comes to you all the way from Japan. I made the trek over for the final round of the Japan National Cross Country season and we have a number of familiar faces who also made the trip.
