“The RT Pro stuff worked flawlessly today,”
said Krcelich. “I couldn’t ask for anything
better. The equipment has been spot on all
year. It’s great stuff. We did a little better
this year than last year. Everyone wants to
win and the championship is the goal. But
after having two bad races last season while
leading the points, I changed my mindset.
I tried to be a consistent top-three guy.
I fell a little bit short, but I’m definitely
better this year than last year.”
Henry, who was in contention all season,
was leading the XC2 race when a hub issue
ended his day early. He ended up third in
final points.
“We had a good run, and the car was great,”
said Henry. “We had just started putting some
time on one and two, and we lost a hub in
one of the fields. The RT Pro equipment was
great. We should have had a better year, but
what can you do?”
In XC1, Mouse Pratt equaled his best finish
of the season, a fourth. He said without the
RT Pro high clearance A arms, he’d likely
still be stuck in the mud.

“The RT Pro stuff is awesome,” said Pratt.
“Without those high clearance arms, I’d still
be stuck in some of those creek bottoms. They
would have had to drag me out. I love their
stuff. We’ve had some bad luck this year,
but today it held together and I can’t complain,
ending the season with a fourth.”
Marcus Pratt finished 11th in XC1. He said
the RT Pro components helped him through a
few driver errors during the event.
“My RT Pro A arms held up perfect when I
had a couple of little boo-boos, and they
kept me from a DNF,” said Pratt. “We’ve had
a couple of issues this season. Sometimes
you get a cloud over your head during a racing
season. We’ll keep our heads up and keep plugging.”
With the season at its conclusion, GNCC series
will celebrate its 2016 season November 25
during the season banquet in Morgantown, WV.
