Tuesday Toolbox: Taylor KiserFebruary 3, 2009Taylor Kiser is a pro GNCC ATV racer from Florida. That's a good place to live during this time of year, because Taylor can train during the winter and get ready for the opening round in the sand of River Ranch. But he's also working on his game in other terrain, and thanks to friends like Johnny Gallagher and Brandon Sommers, he's improving steadily. After a year with KTM, Kiser has switched back to a familiar mount with Yamaha. How does he expect to do? Read on.
Tuesday Toolbox: Kevin JohnstonJanuary 27, 2009Kevin Johnston wears a lot of hats at the races. He's a racer, of course, taking the Utility Unlimited Championship a few years back and then contending for wins in the 4x4 Lites class while helping develop product for Kymco. On the side, he has created a new contingency and support program for GBC tires and has even taken two young racers, Jesse and Jodi Stracham, under his wing. How does one man do it all? We asked for this week's Tuesday Toolbox.
Tuesday Toolbox: Jeff PillonJanuary 20, 2009Canadian Jeffery Pillon is the 2008 GNCC 35+ C bike Champion. Sounds like he had a good year, right? Well, not quite. While training for his 2008 run last January, Jeff woke up one morning in an Arizona retirement village to find his bike stolen. Luckily, his compassionate wife sent him money to buy a brand new bike and he was able to finish his trip in style and come back to have a successful year in 2008. So what brings this funny guy from Canada down to the U.S. to pursuer a GNCC Title? Let's find out.

Tuesday Toolbox: William YokleyJanuary 6, 2009Big personalities come and go, but no one can match the character of William Yokley in the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series. Still one of the top ATV pro racers, he has built a legend around his rebellious "Hell Yeah" attitude. But behind his Kentucky boy rep lies a calculated rider who understands the business of racing as well as anyone.
Tuesday Toolbox: Team Big Nutz RacingDecember 23, 2008Big Nutz Racing. Sound good? Team BNR is a group of privateer ATV racers that understands what GNCC Racing is all about. They race and ride hard in their classes, but they do it as a team, because this series is about friendship and camaraderie as much as it is results. BNR Team Manager Ryan Smith put together these interviews with his team riders.
Tuesday Toolbox: Scot HardenDecember 16, 2008Former racer Scot Harden held a management position for a long-time at KTM, but a few months ago he made a switch over Husqvarna to become their National Sales and Marketing Manager. He comes as part of Husky's rebirth under its new parent company, BMW. Even in a down economy, Husky is looking to expand, through improved race support, contingency, and product. We talked to Scot today to find out moree
Tuesday Toolbox: Tom WrightDecember 9, 2008Tom Wright has an appetite for adventure. He's the new GNCC Senior A (40+) ATV Champion, and he's looking to turn pro for next year. In between, he ran the Baja 1000 and nearly won it, and wants to find some riding partners to take on long endurance races all over the world. That's more than enough to make him the subject of this week's Tuesday Toolbox.
Tuesday Toolbox: Charlie WelchNovember 18, 2008Sometimes kids just can't make up their mind, and that's the case for 10-year-old Charlie Welch. Charlie is already a solid ATV racer, but this year he started racing a bike, too. The result? Second in his ATV class, and top-ten on the bike. And today's Tuesday Toolbox.
Tuesday Toolbox: Bill BallanceNovember 11, 2008He's the man. He's the legend. He may be the best to ever do what he does. He's Bill Ballance, and he's now a nine-time GNCC Champion. How does Bill do it year after year? How does he keep the fire burning? And when will it ever stop? We sat down with the champ at the season-finale at the Ironman to get some insight.
Tuesday Toolbox: Steve HatchNovember 4, 2008Steve Hatch was a staple at the front of the GNCC bike pack until he retired at the end of the 2004 season. But Steve, notoriously one of the hardest workin riders in the sport, couldn't just put the sport away. Today's he's a trainer to both Nathan Kanney and Kailub Russell, and after their double wins at the Ironman GNCC in Indiana, we spoke with Steve to check on the progress of his program.
Tuesday Toolbox: David KnightOctober 28, 2008It's over. David Knight is about to leave the GNCC racing series behind after dominating his way to two championships. He also decided to end his run by racing an ATV at the Ironman. He's also switching teams next year and may run some GNCCs just to get in some testing. For the 2008 GNCC Champ, change is good.
