The General GNCC ATV Race Report
Washington, Georgia, March 12, 2011
National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing ATV Team rider Jarrod McClure finished 5th overall and 5th in the XC1 Pro Division today in Round 2 of the 2011 GNCC Series. There were 200 total entries with 15 XC1 Pro Racers.
Summary
Jarrod made it through Round 1 in Florida just six days ago, and was ready for Round 2 in Georgia. He has had a very busy season so far, competing in both the WORCS and GNCC Series. This track consists of red Georgia clay with lots of deep ruts and tight, technical trails. Being consistent and staying out of trouble is important to finish well here.
Jarrod got a great start and was 5th going into the woods. He found a good line early and got up to 3rd, and was able to hold that position until near the end of lap 1. Borich passed him just before the scoring tent to put him back to 4th place. Jarrod was stoked to be running with the top guys, but was already experiencing some arm pump, and he knew he needed to relax a bit and maintain a good, steady pace.
He was running in 6th place going into the last lap, and was feeling good. He passed up to 5th place, and had a great battle with Kiser the entire lap. He finished the race in 5th position, and was very happy with the result. This course gets very rough with lots of sharp edged bumps and exposed tree roots in the deep ruts, so to finish in the top five is a great achievement.
The National Guard Coastal Yokley ATV ran strong the entire race. Jarrod sits in 5th place in the season GNCC points after two rounds. He now travels out west for next weekend’s WORCS race in Lake Havasu, Arizona, and then back east for the next GNCC in Morganton, North Carolina on March 26. This is a tough schedule, but he is doing very well in both series so far. See you at the races!
