Wolf, on the other hand, ran up front for most
of the race, however, an incident on a gnarly
uphill left the Honda rider in fourth at the
end of the day.
"I was pretty consistent in second all
day and then we were coming up the hill before
the white flag lap and I got stuck on the hill
behind Bithell and that's when Borich and McGill
got around me and I just couldn't reel 'em back
in," said Wolf.
Kiser finished fifth after coming back from
a nasty crash in the first turn, finishing almost
nine seconds behind Wolf.
Jarrod McClure put his Honda into sixth, ahead
of FRE KTM's Bryan Cook. Meanwhile, GT Thunder
Yamaha rider Kevin Yoho finished in eighth.
Yamaha riders Jeffrey Pickens grabbed the Holeshot
Award and finished out the day in ninth and
Mark Notman rounded out the top 10.
Walker Fowler's win in the XC2 class was somewhat
anticlimactic, so most of the focus was on the
battle for second place, which boiled down to
part-time GNCC competitor Nathan Thomas on a
Honda and Greg's ATV & Cycle Yamaha rider's
Patrick McGuire. Thomas capitalized on a good
start and settled into second early in the race.
Meanwhile, McGuire worked his way into third
during the later stages of the race and was
not able to catch the New York rider.
Thomas ended up with second overall, his first-ever
podium finish in GNCC competition, while McGuire
rounded out the podium.
Blake Kramer was the lone Suzuki rider in the
XC2 top 10, with a fourth place finish, while
Yamaha-mounted Eric Wilczek grabbed his best
finish of the year with a fifth.
Yamaha rider Matt Hanna took the $100 Motosport.com
Holeshot Award to start the race and then rode
to a sixth, with Honda riders Martin Christofferson,
Michael Lancaster, and Nathan Wallpe finishing
seventh, eighth and ninth.
Meanwhile, Aarol Bright rounded out the top
10 on a KTM.
Braden Henthorn was the top finishing "non-Pro"
rider, winning the College A (16-21) class on
a Honda with a 15th overall finish.
In the A.M. race, Yamaha rider Dave Simmons
won the $100 GT Thunder Amateur Overall and
topped the Masters (50+) class as well, while
Angel Atwell was the winner in the Women's division.
Bryan Buckhannon edged fellow Can-Am rider
Michael Swift to win the 4x4 Open race. Meanwhile
Clifton Beasley beat Scott Day and Danny Jessee
to win the U2 class. All three riders were on
Can-Am.
For the second time this year, Ohio rider Josh
Simmons (PIT) claimed the overall win in the
Youth race, also winning the 90 Open (12-15)
class in the process. Blaine Martin was second
overall and second in the 90 Open (12-15) class.
