control of the lead and claim his 9th straight
GNCC Pro ATV Win as he remains undefeated since
May of 2010.
Foremost Insurance’s Chris Bithell held

Wolf and Borich in chase for three laps,but
Wolf’s engine blew in lap four, which
sidelined the Pro Rookie, and left Bithell with
Borich on his rear fender. Bithell lost the

3 seconds behind Borich for his 2nd straight
Podium finish to kick-off 2011, which boost
Bithell into the 2nd spot in the points chase.

in 6th place, but he had his work cut out for
him as he worked his way up into the 3rd spot,
but wasn’t able to close the gap on the
leaders as finished nearly 25 seconds behind
Bithell for the final spot on the Podium.
Yamaha’s Taylor Kiser lost most of his
time in the first lap, when he checked in 40
seconds behind the leaders in 8th place, which
was a deficit that he wasn’t able to overcome
as he managed to pick off several racers to
move up to the 4th spot, he never was able to
challenge McGill for the final spot on the Podium.

another impressive race as he stayed consistent
through out the 2 hour race to round out the

place finisher Yamaha’s Johnny Gallagher.
