GNCC Race Summary:
It’s been a nice summer break and a time
to catch up on things, heal up some bumps and
bruises, and get ready for the final 4 races.
I made some improvements on the 450 Outlaw Polaris
that made it more comfortable to ride and also
put the power to the ground better. We made the
16 hour trip to NY and arrived to find out it
was raining for most of Friday. It cleared up
for Saturday’s race and the conditions were
almost perfect.
At the start, my bike did not fire up immediately;
I must have touched the throttle as it was cranking
causing it to take a few seconds to start. So,
I started behind everyone and chased the pack
through the first few corners. I tried to make
passes quickly so as to not get further behind
the leaders. In my haste, I overshot a corner
into a mud hole, costing me even more time. I
settled down and finished lap 1 in 17th position.
I ran pretty consistent lap times and finished
the 5th and final lap in 12th position.
Mark Notman got a good start and put in a strong
first lap in 6th position. On lap 2, he got hung
up in a bottleneck but still was running 9th.
On lap 3, he began experiencing some clutch issues
eventually ending his day.
We arrived home late Sunday night, and will begin
getting ready for the next race in Yadkinville,
NC. We will prepare my Polaris RZR also, and 2
of the next 3 races I will be pulling double duty
with the RZR and the Outlaw 450. Should be fun,
see you there!
