In the XC2 pro-am class, Patrick McGuire looked amazing as he led from start to finish after grabbing the holeshot, taking his first win of the season. Braden Henthorn came from a mid-pack start and charged his way through traffic to claim the second spot on the pro-am podium and Eric Hoyland ran a consistent race as he was in the top five off the start and ended his day in the number three spot in his class. Nathan Thomas worked his way into a fourth place finish, while Matt Hanna rounded out the top five in the pro-am ranks.

Walsh Race Craft’s Cody Gibson was on hand getting in some seat time in the Pro-am class. Gibson, who is admittedly not a cross-country guy, finished with five laps in the number 14 spot.

In the morning classes, current 4x4 Open champ, Bryan Buckhannon charged his way to the top of the podium, taking his class win and the overall.

Super Senior racer Dave Simmons proved that age has no limitations as he put the hammer down and led from start to finish in his class, taking the win and finishing in second overall on the morning podium.

Can-Am/UXC Racing’s Cliff Beasley picked up right where he left off last season, winning the U2 class and claiming the final spot on the morning podium aboard the new 2012 Can-Am Renegade. “It was great to start the season off on the podium. It was rough out there so I am glad I was able to finish well,” said Beasley.

In the Women’s class, Angel Atwell edged out Traci Cecco for the first win of the season. The pair battled hard, with Atwell leading for most of the race, and won her class by almost six seconds ahead of Cecco. Atwell would take fourth overall, while Cecco rounded out the top five overall for the morning classes.

Kevin Trantham dominated the 4x4 Lites class from start to finish, taking the class win, and finishing in sixth overall.

In the 4x4 Senior class, Can-Am’s Forrest Whorton and Mike Penland went one and two in their class after battling it out in the first lap. Penland was first off the start, but Whorton was able to overtake him in the second lap and held his lead all the way to the checkered flag.

Round number two of the 2012 GNCC series will head to Aonia Pass MX in Washington, GA in just one week on March 17th, where racers will be on top of their game as they try to conquer the “General”.
