GT Thunder's Brian Wolf Unadilla GNCC Pro ATV Race Report
GNCC Racing - Round 11- Yadkin Valley- Yadkinville, NC

Brian Wolf Yadkinville Podium

#341 Brian Wolf would finish 2nd for the day to maintain the XC2 ProAm points lead

Yadkinville, NC (9/30/2009) -Heading into round eleven I was excited and thankful for the success I have had over the past few rounds and over the season in general. The XC2 ProAm class is full of tough, talented riders and I am glad to be in championship contention as we head into the last few races of the season. Yadkinville is tighter course which is usually plagued with dust; but not this year! Rain began to fall as we headed to line, which would make for an interesting day.

I got off to a great start which placed me in third place as the class entered into the woods. It was not hard to see that the rain had made for a slick first lap but I settled into a comfortable pace and focused on moving forward. I was able to make my way into the second place position with the leader in sight as we closed out the first lap. My machine was handling flawlessly and I remained calm and confident that I could take over the lead as the race pressed on.

The usual dusty course at Yadkinville would turn to mud as rain came down while Wolf headed to the line

In the third lap I began to lose rear brakes, I did all I could to keep them as long as possible but that would be short lived. I lost them completely about half way through the lap which would require me to switch up my riding style but I did my best to keep the leader in striking distance. It was enough of a challenge with the slick, wet conditions to keep on the course as it was but without brakes it was that much more difficult. I would hang onto the second place position for this lap and hoped I could keep up my momentum heading into the last lap.

Unfortunately I would hit a corner wrong and go over a burm and hit a tree in the final lap. I knew I had to get myself rolling quickly, which I did, but the damage had been done. I pushed forward towards the checkered in hopes of gaining the lead but would fall slightly short. I would finish second for the day and fourteenth overall. I am happy with this finish considering all the adversity I faced throughout the day. After this second place finish I maintain the XC2 ProAm points lead and I am excited as we head into the last two rounds of 2009!

Of course I cannot thank my wife Annie enough for her support - she is the best, my team for doing a great job pitting me nearly every lap, my fans for their continued support and I could not be where I am without my sponsors: GT Thunder, HLS Suspension, HMF, ITP, Fly Racing, PowerMadd, Flexx, HiPer, Tire Balls, JB Racing, Precision, Albright Motorsports, XCountry Photos, and State 8
