GBC Heartland Challenge
3 Hour Youth Endurance Race Report
::Continued::
On Saturday morning the Youth ATV classes would
begin their three hour race. The kids were treated
just like the big bikes once again with a Lemans
style start that many of them seemed to really
enjoy.
|
The youth ATV racers were also treated to
a LeMans Style with the Dads waiting to
help them get tethered up to their ATVs
for the start of the 4 hour race |
The kids classes were run on a shortened course
but were every bit as exciting to watch as the
adults would be later in the day.

The #952 Banded Gangster (above left) held
the overall lead for nearly the 1st half
of the race before the #900 GT Thunder Team
(above right) began applying the pressure
& eventually made the pass for the lead
with the pair swapping the lead a few times
before Blake Chirdon took the checkered
flag waved by GBC President, Randy, for
the Overall Win & 90 Production Class
Win
|
The kids were all smiles as the crossed the finish
line with the GT Thunder team taking the win in
the 90 Production class and the overall. The Banded
Gangsters followed them in second, and the High
Energy Boys would take third in the 90 Production
class.

#701 White Lightning Jr's claimed the easy
70 Production win when the #700 Kyner Team
experienced issues in the first lap, which
sent them a lap down, but with the Kyner
team making up time with each lap, the White
Lightning Jr's kept their heads down as
they charged their way to a 7th overall
finish
|
In the 90 Stock class, the win would go to the
Blue Ridge Bad Boys, with the FD Elmo Team on
second and the Wildcats would claim the final
spot on the podium. White Lightning Jr.’s
would take the win in the 70 Production class
and the Buckskinner Boys would take the win in
the 50 Production class.
