Tuesday Toolbox: Liam Draper April 27, 2021 Regardless, there’s no doubt our “Nation” knows no borders.
Tuesday Toolbox: Falyn Holcomb April 20, 2021 We’ve featured a few of our Amateur riders but I thought it’d be a nice change up to show some love to our Youth riders! So this week we’re featuring Falyn Holcomb. Her answers are short and to the point. We talk racing, school, and my personal favorite… puppies. Enjoy!
Tuesday Toolbox: Emily Oppliger April 13, 2021 Matt was my favorite! That was until I spoke with Emily. I didn’t catch Emily’s middle name, but I’d be shocked to find out it’s anything other than, “Adventure.”
Tuesday Toolbox: Jonathan Johnson April 6, 2021 Repetition breeds success. Trust the process. Stay on your grind. Pick whatever cliché you want, they all seem to apply to this week’s featured rider, and for good reason. Jonathan Johnson may come off as all business, but make no mistake, he’s figured out what it takes to win. In fact, he’s the only rider at the Pro or Pro-Am level (Bike or ATV) to remain undefeated after four rounds of racing.
Tuesday Toolbox: Ronnie Rusch March 30, 2021 This week’s featured rider, Ronnie Rusch, is about as perfect an example of motivation as you can get. He was already paving the way for a successful career in the world of GNCC, but the loss of a dear friend helped push him to the next level.
Tuesday Toolbox: Steward Baylor Jr. March 23, 2021 The picture-perfect script: The sun is shining; birds are chirping, the sky is a perfect Yamaha ‘blu’ and Stu Baylor has won all three rounds to start the 2021 season and easily sits atop the points chase. Life is good for Stu Baylor…
Tuesday Toolbox: Jessica Elioff March 16, 2021 Morgan Freeman once said, “Challenge yourself; it’s the only path which leads to growth.” Couple takeaways, one is personal for me. As a guy who makes a living with their voice, Morgan Freeman is, as the kids are saying, #VoiceGoals. Alright, I don’t really know if the kids are saying that, but I am. Anyway, more important is the second takeaway from what Morgan said.
Tuesday Toolbox: TJ Fine February 16, 2021 One of my favorite movie franchises is Rocky. Except for Rocky V, obviously. Any true fan knows you just pretend that one didn’t happen. Anyway, in Rocky Balboa, the 6th installment (or 5th, because remember, we’re not counting Rocky V), Rocky has a very deep heart-to-heart conversation with his son. If you want the entire back-story, watch the film. You can’t deny how motivational Rocky’s words are to his son...
Tuesday Toolbox: Dominick Stevens February 9, 2021 Glass half full? Glass half empty? 2020 wasn’t easy on the large majority of folks. Lives were turned upside down and whether you were a student in school or an adult in the work place your schedule and daily routine were likely affected. How each of us approached our “new normal” (Side-Note, who’s ready for “old normal”) depended heavily on self-motivation. This week’s Tuesday Toolbox features one of those young men who decided to look at things from the “glass half full” perspective. Everything from balancing school, competing and finishing the season 2nd in the College B (16-21) ATV Class, starting his own business at 17 and wrapping up the season with a jump into the College A (16-21) ATV Class. Here’s a glimpse into the life of a former GNCC Schoolboy Jr. Champion and business owner at 17, Dominick Stevens.
Tuesday Toolbox: Ben Fricks February 2, 2021 This week’s featured rider, Ben Fricks, is one of those people. He’s “one of our own” as the phrase goes. A student, a worker and a rider. A rider that finished 8th in the 250 C College (18-24) class last season that also happens to be a recipient of the Kurt Caselli Scholarship courtesy of The Kurt Caselli Foundation. We had a chance to catch up with Ben about how he balances an education, work-life and still manages to run a full season of GNCC.
Tuesday Toolbox: Mark Notman January 26, 2021 Johnny Gallagher, Drew Landers, Cole Richardson and the obvious one, Walker Fowler. Just a few of the big names this week’s featured interviewee has worked with as a mechanic over the years. Obviously, we’re talking about Mark Notman. Many who attend the GNCC’s regularly are well aware of who Mark is and what he means to Walker Fowler’s success. We had a chance to catch up with Mark and learn a little bit more about him, his success as a rider and his journey as Walker Fowler’s right-hand man in all six of their GNCC Championships. Oh yeah, he also had a very big life-event just a few weeks ago!
Tuesday Toolbox: Jared Bolton January 19, 2021 Yeah, we know you might not be super excited to read what our own Jared Bolton has to say since you probably read his articles frequently, but Mikey Waynes had a last minute cancellation for his first Tuesday Toolbox. So for a warm up, Mikey caught up with GNCC’s Jared Bolton to get a feel for a few things. Working with the GNCC Track Crew and in a number of other facets for a number of years, Bolt-On’s passion for the sport is pretty evident when you meet him. You may see him at the races and read Quick Fill each week, but chances are you might not truly know that much about the guy. So, we took a few minutes to catch up on his background, the 2021 season and much more.
