- Tuesday Toolbox with .... Carey DakuAugust 19, 2008Things have not gone to plan for Warnert Racing Can-Am's first-year GNCC effort in the XC1 ATV Class. With the much-hyped Can-Am DS450 to race and proven winners in Chris Jenks and Chris Bithell on board, the team should have been firing off wins and podiums all season. Instead, they're just trying to finish the races. What went wrong? What are they doing to fix it? We called Warnert Team Manager Carey Daku to find out.

We called him in the middle of a test session today in South Carolina.

- Tuesday Toolbox .... Vanja KollmannJuly 22, 2008To the competiton in the Women's bike class, it sure seemed like Vanja Kollman came out of nowhere. The Swedish rider came to the U.S. last month for a little riding vacation, and after racing two GNCCs, she ended up with two wins! When Vanja's not riding, she's training troops in the Swedish Military to detect bombs, so maybe riding a GNCC course is easy to her. Is it? We called her to find out.
