Yokley finished 1st overall in the Open
Modified UTV class |
Frankfurt, KY (5/18/2009) -
William Yokley finished 1st Overall and 1st in
the Open Modified Class today. There were 51 total
entries with 22 Open Modified machines. The guest
passenger today was long time friend Mark Hix.
Today was Round 2 of the GNCC UTV series and
I was really looking forward to racing here in
Somerset. The Racer Production guys laid out a
real nice 5 mile track with some new trails that
looked like fun. My passenger was Mark Hix; he
had wanted to take a ride with me and today was
his day. We had to draw for starting position,
and ended up on the 5th row. The weather had been
great all day, but a pretty severe rain storm
came through while we were on the start line.
It poured on us while we waited for the start,
and continued to pour for the entire race. Our
goggles were useless very soon after the start,
so we had to toss them and run with no eye protection.

William
Yokley and Mark Hix had a great time getting
muddy,
along with earning the top spot on the podium |
We started passing a few machines and finally
got to the front. Other than the goggles, we did
not have too many problems. We did mow down a
few small trees and bounce off some other UTVs;
our Polaris RZR ran flawlessly and our Kenda tires
worked great. We ended up running 5 laps and crossed
the finish line with bloodshot eyes and both side
panels ripped off. Mark had a blast!
These RZRs are so much fun to race, and I’m
looking forward to the next round! We are fortunate
to be leading in the UTV points halfway through
the season.
