JB Racing's
Tim Farr with co-pilot, Angel Knox, claimed
his fourth straight podium finish with
a 3rd place finish at the Ironman GNCC
|
Farr had a sway bar issue on the first lap and
overcame hard contact with another competitor
to score the podium. He credited his tough Can-Am
Maverick’s durability for the finish.
“Third is pretty good,” said Farr. “We were hoping
for a win, but we had sway bar problems and the
car just wouldn’t handle. I just tried to stay
on the throttle. We were running kind of ragged
today. It’s just a testament to the durability
of the Can-Am because we took some serious shots
today. I couldn’t believe the front end was still
under it after that collision.”

Maxxis' Tim
Farr finished 3rd for the season in the
GNCC XC1 UTV Points championship
|
With unseasonably warm temperatures, Farr took
on the technical Ironman course with ease. The
track features woods, muddy creek bottoms and
a motocross course, making it a robust challenge
for both man and machine.
“The Houser cage and the tree bars were amazing;
we used them a lot here,” said Farr with a laugh.
“The Maxxis Tires were great. The DWT wheels were
awesome. The back wheel took a hard hit and it
didn’t even lose air. The Fox Shocks were perfect
here, especially with the variety of terrain.”
Farr was happy with his consistent results this
season. Though he had difficulties in the first
race, he finished second twice, and third twice
to finish out the season.
“Overall the year went pretty well,” said Farr.
“We started really bad and came back with some
consistency. We’ll come back next year and give
it another shot. I should be with Can-Am again
next year.”
Farr will celebrate with his fellow competitors
at the GNCC banquet November 25-26 in Morgantown,
WV.
