Quick Fill #10: This Week in GNCCMarch 18, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill. Shout out to Greg Grimm for letting me know he was going through Quick Fill withdrawals.Three rounds are officially in the books and we’re full swing into the GNCC Racing season. I don’t know about you, but to me it seemed like those first three rounds absolutely flew by and here we already are getting geared up for round four, which will take place next weekend. Not only were those first few rounds full of some great racing and good times, but wow there were some great turnouts. It’s awesome to see so many people wanting to take part in GNCC Racing and it seems like even with large numbers of racers, everything still seemed to move along pretty good at each of those first three rounds.
Quick Fill #9: This Week in GNCCMarch 4, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill.Wow, here it is; round two! It’s time to roll into the sandy soil of Florida for this weekend’s Wild Boar GNCC. I know, it seems like Big Buck literally just ended, but time flies when you’re having fun and not only will we be rolling through these next two rounds in no time, but I’m sure we’ll blink and be heading into the summer break before we know what happened. However, there’s still plenty of racing that will happen between now and then, and these next two rounds are going to roll on quickly and hopefully both turn out awesome.
Quick Fill #8: This Week in GNCCFebruary 25, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill. Wow. Round one is already in the books and boy was it a great weekend. It started off a little muddy in some areas but as the weekend wore on conditions just got better and better. By the end of the weekend there were even some poofs of dust here and there but the overwhelming majority of the Big Buck property was darn near perfect. It was also exciting to see two riders win who had never won the opening round before, and that really makes things interesting heading to round two.
Quick Fill #7: This Week in GNCCFebruary 18, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill.Alright, it’s go time! Yes, we are racing this weekend. Sure, there might be a few little wet patches here and there but overall things are looking to be much, much better than most folks are expecting. It rained a lot in the weeks leading up to this event, rained a lot last weekend, but this place just seems to run off a lot of the rain. We arrived Sunday night and pulled three semis, our water truck and two campers right into the facility, and even put them back in a corner that is the lowest lying spot in the field. I’m not going to tell you it’s dry and dusty, there are some wet patches in the pits, but it’s NOT the swampy mud fest some folks have been thinking.
Quick Fill #6: This Week in GNCCFebruary 12, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill. Crunch time is on! This time next week we’ll be preparing to roll into the Big Buck Farm in order to get ready for the first round of GNCC Racing in 2021. Well, actually, our crew will have already been there for a few days at that point and I’m sure we’ll have some teasers to share. For us this means crunch time is absolutely here and we’re counting the hours instead of days at this point. Regardless, it’s almost time to go racing and Big Buck is on the horizon.
Quick Fill #5: This Week in GNCCFebruary 4, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill. The off-season is officially beginning to wind down as we now approach the two-week point from the start of the 2021 GNCC Racing season. The time crunch is on as these final two weeks will fly by and it’s going to be time to go racing in just the blink of an eye. That means the time is now to get your machines in order and ready to go because time is running out. A lot of folks are ready, are you?
Quick Fill #4: This Week in GNCCJanuary 28, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill. Another week down and another week closer to kicking off the 2021 GNCC Racing season. Crunch time is pretty much here as we’re now just three weeks out from the start of the new race season. In some ways it seems like the off-season just began because he sure has flown by, but at the same time I was sitting back and thinking that I had really only been to one race since the last GNCC event, and that was the NECXC Buddy Race back in November. It’s been a while but that time in between races is really starting to wind down and we’ll be back into the swing of the race season before we know what happened.
Quick Fill #3: This Week in GNCCJanuary 21, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill.Wow, this off-season is really starting to tick away. We’re now just THIRTY days away from kicking off the 2021 GNCC Racing season and boy is it shaping up to be a great year. For me, it seems like the excitement just builds more and more each day and by the time we’re on the road to Big Buck, we just may all be busting at the seams with excitement. Of course, 30 days is still a bit of time and there are a lot of preparations still left and also some pre-season racing teasers that are coming up in the next few weeks.
Quick Fill #2: This Week in GNCCJanuary 15, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill.We’re rolling through the off-season and that’s actually progressing pretty quickly into the “pre-season” which will progress into race season before we know it. That’s pretty exciting in some ways but at the same time, if you’re not ready to get off and rolling you should get on the ball because it will be go time in, well, no time! We’ve been wide open not only getting things prepared for the 2021 season but also finishing up things from 2020 as well.
Quick Fill #1: This Week in GNCCJanuary 7, 2021Welcome to Quick Fill. And welcome to a jam-packed first edition of Quick Fill in 2021! This year actually marks season number SIXTEEN of Quick Fill. That’s right, its now been 15 years since the first edition of Quick Fill graced the GNCC website back in 2006 and as it enters it’s 16th season I really hope to keep this thing informative but also want to make it fun to read at the same time. Last year I mentioned that I had dug through a bunch of old editions of Quick Fill dating back to when it first started and Jason Weigandt really made those old Quick Fill entries entertaining.
Quick Fill #42: This Week in GNCCDecember 18, 2020Welcome to Quick Fill.Last weekend’s virtual banquets actually turned out pretty darn cool! Sure, it’s not the same as having a banquet in-person but overall it was still a lot of fun. To those who sent in videos, or those in the top 3 who joined via Zoom, Thank You! We understand this “virtual” thing wasn’t for everyone but if you skipped out just because you didn’t even want to try it, well, you actually missed out on a good time. It turned out to be a bit longer than a normal banquet but the magic of online streaming is that you could leave and come back as much as you want.
Quick Fill #41: This Week in GNCCDecember 10, 2020Welcome to Quick Fill.Another week is in the books and we’re rolling head first into this weekend’s GNCC Virtual Banquets. It’s a bummer to not be able to get together and do these banquets in person but given that the whole world is still working through the Covid-19 pandemic it’s just not feasible to have a traditional banquet. We’re hopeful that things start to get back to normal in 2021 and we can get back to a typical banquet in the future. Yes, we know a “virtual banquet” isn’t what you guys want, but this still gives you the opportunity to say thank you to those who deserve it.
