Tuesday Toolbox: Hunter HartMay 4, 2021Hunter is the kind of person that takes advantage of every situation both on and off the track. His focus and intensity is infectious, and you can always count on Hunter to go full throttle.
Tuesday Toolbox: Liam DraperApril 27, 2021Regardless, there’s no doubt our “Nation” knows no borders.
Tuesday Toolbox: Falyn HolcombApril 20, 2021We’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 OppligerApril 13, 2021Matt 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 JohnsonApril 6, 2021Repetition 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 RuschMarch 30, 2021This 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, 2021The 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 ElioffMarch 16, 2021Morgan 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 FineFebruary 16, 2021One 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 StevensFebruary 9, 2021Glass 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 FricksFebruary 2, 2021This 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 NotmanJanuary 26, 2021Johnny 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!
