Okeechobee, FL (3/12/2014)
- Walker Fowler finished the 2013 racing
season second in the GNCC Racing Pro Class with
three wins and an impressive nine total podium
appearances aboard his AmPro Yamaha YFZ 450R.
We
had a chance to catch up with Walker Fowler
in Florida to talk to him about the upcoming
GNCC Racing season, winter training, and his
2014 race program.

How is your training been going this Winter?
Walker
Fowler:
Real good! I’ve been down in Okeechobee, Florida
since just before New Year’s and started doing
some cross fit training, as well as cycling
and endurance training. I have stepped it
up more than I usually do so everything’s
been going good.
ATVriders.com:
How is your race progrom looking for the 2014
GNCC Racing season?
Walker
Fowler:
It definitely is a step forward, which is
also a good thing. Most of our sponsors have
come back this season and have come back pretty
big. Maxxis Tires is a pretty big one as well
as FLY, Moto-Xperts, Lonestar, and AMPRO Yamaha.
Everybody has pretty much stepped it up and
made our program even better than it was in
the previous year, which is making my job
a lot easier.

How is it training with Cole Richardson?
Walker
Fowler:
Yup. He is now my teammate and we started
training last Summer together some, and he
kind of came out of nowhere. He went from
running the A class to winning the A class
and beating all of the Pro-Am riders from
a few rows behind. He’s definitely become
a training asset down here in Florida whenever
he can get away from school. It’s always nice
to have someone to ride with, and it’s hard
to find your race speed, but when you have
a young kid coming up, and you don’t wanna
get beat by him, it makes you step it up,
so it’s been good.

So what is your thoughts on going after the
GNCC Racing Championship for 2014?
Walker
Fowler
You know we’ve got a good jump early so that
makes my offense a little bit greater, and
we’re not behind the ball this year waiting
on parts or accessories and the ATV is remaining
pretty much the same, so I know how everything
is reacting to the track, so I definitely
feel a lot more confident going into round
one. I’m planning on getting a top three there,
and getting on the dirt where I know I can
ride good and just starting knocking out some
wins. It’s going to be about getting on the
podium at every round. Chris (Borich) missed
the podium only one time last year, and it’s
about beating him, but if he beats you, then
you have to be the guy that is sitting right
behind him basically to have a chance.

Have you had a chance to race down here locally
or are you just waiting for the first round
of the GNCC Series?
Walker
Fowler:
We’ve been doing the FTR Race Series down
here and Borich made it to one event and of
course where he won (laughs Fowler)! And it’s
been four rounds now and my results aren’t
exactly where I wish they would be, but I
do feel better than I I did last year, so
hopefully with a little more time the results
will come. I’m excited for this year!
