XC Bob's Jarrod McClure had his Yamaha YFZ450 brought out by Chris Borich since he couldn't get his Honda repaired in time for the race, and despite running a GNCC setup, he still managed to secure a 6th place finish with after a last lap pass by Kawasaki's Robbie Mitchell to take the 5th spot

“I’m going to be doing as many of the WORCS rounds as I can next season,” stated McClure, who is rumored to be sporting a new ride with some serious backing for the 2010 GNCC season.
