2015 GNCC Racing Series Round #10 - Unadilla New Berlin, NY September 19, 2015

In the XC2 Pro Am division, New York’s own Nick Wheeler grabbed the $100 All Balls Racing Holeshot Award, but the quick lead wouldn’t last long as N-Fab/AmPro Yamaha/Maxxis/Lonestar backed rider Cole Richardson would work his way out front. The Pennsylvania native created a gap and never looked back, claiming yet another win in the Pro Am division. After adjusted time, Richardson would end up missing the overall podium by only one second.

“Over the break I focused on getting better physical fitness for the last half of the race, and I think we achieved that,” said Richardson. “I felt really good today, and I think we’ll be good going into Mountain Ridge.”

Maxxis' Cole Richardson claimed his 9th win of the GNCC Racing season & he is on track to possibly wrap-up the Pro-Am Championship at Round 11

New York’s Martin Christofferson followed in Richardson’s tracks and stayed in second the entire race. JMR / DWT's Randy Hamilton claimed the last spot on the podium in the Pro Am class.

Maryland’s Westley Wolfe put forth an impressive ride at Round 10, capturing the College A (16-21) class win. Westley earned not only the Top Amateur honors, but also finished 11th overall, his best overall finish.

The 4x4 Pro class once again showcased some of the most intense battles of the day as the fastest 4x4 ATV racers in the world converged for the tenth round of GNCC racing. The battle came down to the final moments where Team UXC Racing teammates finished by mere two tenths of a second from each other. It would be Kevin Trantham who emerged victorious, followed by Michael Swift. Can-Am’s Bryan Buckhannon rounded out the top three, but he still continues to hold the lead in the 4x4 Pro points championship.

In the premier Women’s Cross Country division it would be New York native Katelyn Osburn standing on the top of the box after the grueling two-hour race. The win wouldn’t come easy for Osburn as she played consistent and capitalized on Angel Knox’s misfortune with her fuel line during lap four. Another New Yorker, Kara Frederick, worked her way from seventh to second. Yamaha’s Kylie Ahart, the new WXC points leader, took third overall.

The ATV Youth started off the racing action at 8 a.m. Pennsylvania’s Tim Sroka took his first win of the season, exiling Ronnie Rusch from his season-long winning streak. Rusch still made his presence on the podium, but instead was third overall. New York rider Mikey Nickels finished in second, and then turned around to race the 10 a.m. race in Schoolboy Jr. where he finished 23rd.
