Snowshoe, WV (6/29/2009)
- FRE/KTM ATV GNCC rider Adam
McGill showed up at the Snowshoe event to claim
the title and the $10,000 purse just as he had
done the previous year. Unfortunately, luck would
not fall his way and a broken foot peg kept him
from capturing the win.
McGill started the 20 mile, two-loop race out
front. He led the first lap around. Unfortunately
McGill hit a rock at the end of the first lap
resulting in a broken foot peg and a trip to
the pits to repair it. To make matters worse
it took nearly and hour to repair his KTM race
machine before he returned to the course. He
eventually reentered the race but was too far
back. He was credited with 19th overall.
In the XC-2 class, FRE/KTM rider Josh Kirkland,
pulled a great start and led an impressive race
to again land on the podium in the 2nd place
position behind XC-2 class winner Brian Wolf.
“This was a challenging race,” commented
Kirkland. “There were so many different
obstacles to tackle – it was tough but
fun.”
Angel Atwell took command of the Women’s
class adding another win to her belt over Traci
Cecco. Atwell led the majority of the race to
finish 1st. Atwell only needs one more win in
the next four races to clinch the championship.
Next Event: Round 10 –
New Berlin, NY – September 12-13, 2009
