Jeff@quadshop leads GNCC

Posted by: SECCRS

This course was not as wet as last year but just as messy. Just over 11 miles and I would say 8.5 of it being under water.

Jeff lead the first lap of the Hurricane. Shorly followed by Yokley with Bill Ballance about 15 seconds back. 2nd lap had Greg Trew and Bill Ballance withen seconds of each other with Greg in front. Next Lap was Bill and Greg with Bill in the front but Yokley was quickly catching back up. When they checked in at the check point at mile 6 Bill had a 6 second lead over Greg with William followed up 13 seconds behind. But my understanding they incountered alot of lap traffic within the last 2 miles of the course giving Bill a little lead over Greg allowing Bill the win.

Jeff I belived finished 7th not exactly sure what happen, but I was yelling my head off when I seen him on the first lap with him in the lead.

As for the morning race woman rider #201 took a commanding lead. With over a minute on Tracci coming into the first lap. What was 12 woman quickly became only 5 withen the 2nd lap. Tracci I understand broke her arm in a rut and popped out getting caught in some tree's.

Mike Penland had a sizable lead going into the 4th and final lap and my understanding got stuck in a water hole that completly covered the quad only leaving the handle bar controls sticking out.

I am sure I will remember more once I get a lil bit of sleep and some food in me.

Did Tracci break her arm or an a-arm. Either way it sucks, but i rather break an a-arm.

I talked to Traci after the race. No broken bones but sore. Arm will be in a sling until next race. Nice little road rash on her chin that looks like a gotee.

Great Job Jeff!

Nice job fellars!!! Does anyone know if Harlen is going to post pics of the race???

Posted by: Admin

Traci is going for X-rays today, and hopefully we will be able to find out exactly what happened to her.

I am impressed that she still was able to finish the race

Hopefully, she will be 100% by Georgia.

Good job there Doug!!!!

Posted by: WOOLIN

Jeff got barbed wire wrapped around his axel and it was still attached to the fence post. He spent like 3 min trying to untangle it. I got third in Open B. Rowlrag got 9th in 4st A. Stroker 465 got 6th in pro-am. Meek had some chain trouble.

Posted by: jcv400ex

Great Job Jeff!!!! Still don't understand why people wouldn't clear the course of stuff like that. The first run at powerline park I got into some babed wire....that's a bummer.

I hope Traci is okay! Sounds like she's gonna be sore though!

Posted by: SECCRS

Not in deffense of the Plantation but having raced there in the past. This is a state recognized historic area. There could be barbed wire that has been there for so many years and burried under the soil you dont see it. But you put 600 atv's on top of it and its amazing what can pop up. I found an arrow head out there just walking threw the pits last year.

There alot of cattle areas out there. And just cause where you set the course in the first place might not be where it ends up with the quick moving of the course throughout the race. If you raced the in the morning you realized that almost every lap the course changed. But there where area's that if you did get up alot of speed you where coming dangerously close in some of the straight away turn. So maybe GNCC needs to include the JEFF (OMFG I CAN TAKE THIS TURN IN 4th DOING ABOUT 60) factor into account.

Sounds like laziness to me. Hire some help to clean up old barbwire that's infested the track if it's no longer needed..

I know that sounds harsh but I don't think it would be too hard. Heck I've done it many times on the farm. RP and the land owner should look out for the well being of the racers I think.

I seen pics someone posted and they mentioned how many racers came real close to a certain fence on the course. WTF is up with that. Run the track in a high speed section right on top of a barb wire fence..huh

Not directing this at you SECCRS just pointing it out.

Posted by: SECCRS

Hey Rico no problem. I just know what its like setting up for a harescramble race and stuff you have no clue about shows up. I found this out with some barbed wire that was burried and I had no clue it was there. Now about the fence. Yes there where several that came very close to that fence at the end of the 2nd straight away. And they where FLYING (literally) around there and coming dangerously close. I guess GNCC thought they had a 40ft wide road that gave them plenty of room well apparently that wasnt the case. But amen no one was hurt on it. Cause if you see that pic I was standing right there when that guy got up on 2 wheels and I started running that way cause I was like this is going to hurt.

As for Jeff I dont know where he incountered the barbed wire. Maybe if he'll report in we'll know alot more. Good luck to you guys in GA. Wish I didnt blow up so I could be racing

It was under the water in one of the many ditches. It was around the 8 mile marker I believe. It was right before were you ran next to a pond that was on your right. The fence was new and I couldn't get it to break, I finally got it untangled. No big deal, its not the first time its happend and it won't be the last. I'm very happy with how I finished.

Big thanks to everyone that was cheering me on!!!

When we walked the coarse we mentioned that it could be a danger spot especially later in the race when the braking bumps start to develop at the last of the morning race. Hay bales or tuff blocks on that corner would have been a nice safety device.

Jeff, if I had know you were going to be so close to Bill Ballance I wouldn't have got him untangled from that 400 ex so fast. j/k

when we were just chillen there, and that yamai got stuck I look and saw bill ballence on the gas tank and was like holy chit lets go help, he was try to help the guy and push him out of the way and then got lock together and then we saw jeff about 5 sec behind him. Good race jeff

Posted by: Braff1

From starting where you did Jeff you made a good come back. I am sure the barbed wire didn't help any either but you had a good finish.

jeff i was just telling my dad before you guys came through on the first lap that you loved this mud and you should have a good finish. then here you come leadin the pack and i start yellin at ya, but i think everyone was.

Posted by: SECCRS

Hey Jeff,

Did you even know you where in the lead? And how did you get there when I saw you last you where in 6th I belive.

Doug

P.S. when you start leading these things you have all your fans to answer to with there stupid questions HAHA!!!

Posted by: Jeff@TireBalls

When I passed Bill around the halfway point and thought I was in the lead but then I started seeing mudholes swirling around so I figured out that I wasn't leading. Soon after that I came up on Yokley stuck in a mud hole. Thats when I knew I was out front for sure.

Several people were stuck and others I just picked better lines and got around them.

Coolest site of the day was the V-force that came around through the fence hole to the 100 yard long straightaway near the end of the track - it was in the morning, he took the turn hard and never let off the throttle, did a 1 wheel wheelie yet he was able to pull the bike back towards the course and never let up. Heck of a rider, whoever he was! I should had the camera out for that one!
