After a long summer break the GNCC series resumes
racing at the infamous Unadilla Pro National MX
track in New York to do some cross-country racing.
The venue always draws huge numbers of racers
and fans. The ATV entries alone were around the
700 mark this year. With limited property the
track is usually shorter than your typical GNCC
course making for extra laps and possibly one
of the roughest course of the series. The large
amount of racers, combined with a short track
and possibility of thunderstorms made for an exciting
day at the Unadilla MX track.
The green flag fell at 1pm and after two months
off it was time to see who put in their work over
the summer. McClure had a good start heading into
the woods just inside the top ten. Jarrod quickly
moved into a fifth place position by the second
lap, following Mcgill through scoring.
“This new Baldwin motor really helped me on the
motocross track out there. You need that horsepower
to make passes and once I was able to see Mcgill
I was like ok just ride with him. He was setting
a great pace as we made our way through the lapped
riders”, said McClure.

McClure stayed right with McGill for a majority
of the race. The pair of Honda riders had their
hands full dealing with lapped riders and a deteriorating
track. By the fifth lap Jarrod was able to get
around Adam and set his sights on Chris Bithell
who was running in third position at the time,
and after applying some pressure, McClure snuck
by Bithell and was able to cross the checkers
in third claiming the final position on the podium.
“I have to say I was really just having a blast
out there today. The track was awesome, and it
was really fun riding with McGill and Bithell.
This is the third year in a row I put it on the
box up here and it really means a lot since all
my friends and family make the trip. My ATV worked
flawless, the DWT tires were hooking all day and
the ELKA shocks and Teixeira Suspension components
performed awesome on a track this rough”, said
McClure.
JMR’s XC2 Pro Am Racer Randy Hamilton got stuffed
in the first corner and had to recover from a
near dead last start out of a twenty-rider class.
Randy put his head down and was able to break
into the top ten quickly, but ran out of time
at the checkers settling for sixth in the class
for the day.
McClure and Hamilton are both sitting fourth
in the point standings after round ten. The JMR
team seems just as strong as ever after the summer
break and is looking forward to the next Round
of GNCC racing at the Mountain Ridge trails in
their home state of Pennsylvania.
