New Berlin, NY � This will be a historic weekend as the GNCC Racing heads north to Unadilla, which has been reserved for the motorcycle Outdoor Nationals for years, but everything changed this year with both GNC MX Series and now the GNCC Series getting a chance to ride on the legendary Unadilla natural terrain MX track.

For the amateur bike riders this Sunday will be there first chance to ride on the track that they have watched some of the fastest MX racers conquer for years, so it is expected that many bike enthusiast that normally don�t even consider racing XC will give it a try this weekend just for an opportunity to possibly launch out of �Gravity Cavity� or Over �Sky Shot.� Other famous obstacles include �The Wall� and �Screw U loop�, but most likely the whole track won�t be part of the GNCC race, so some of these probably won�t be included.

As the racers arrived this morning at the track, they were created with a long line of vehicles waiting at the gate.

The starting of the race will be held right along the highway below were the parking lot is located for the MX Nationals, and fortunately some rain clouds have been moving in this morning with a few showers, but nothing yet to amount to anything.

Hopefully, the area will receive a nice steady shower today just to keep the dust down for tomorrow�s race with partly cloudy skies forecasted tomorrow with temps near 70 degrees, but rain is expected to move back in on Sunday for the bike race.

With the race located in snowmobile country and close to the Canadian border, Bombardier normally puts on an exhibition show for the fans with one of their top snowmobile riders. At the ATV Nationals, Kenny Murphy launched his Bombardier sled out of Gravity Cavity, so who knows yet what they have planned for this weekend especially with their newly formed GNCC Team with Mike Penland and Scott Kilby

Barerly past noon and the tracks perimeter is already beginning to fill up in sections as is looks like there is going to be plenty of riders on hand for this historical weekend regardless of the high gas prices that don�t look to be going down anytime soon with Rita with her sights on Texas and the oil refineries down south.

Bill Ballance didn�t attend the last round in Yadkinville, NC, so he could concentrate on preparing for his return to racing after breaking his leg at the Yamaha Press Intro in the beginning of August.

Bill would waste no time in his preparation to return to racing, and as soon as he could, he started swimming and even bicycling to help keep him in shape, but he has only ridden his YFZ450 once since the accident, which was last Sunday for 15 minutes.

Bill still has difficulty walking around, but he told me riding a bicycle didn�t bother him at all, and he will mostly likely only have 90% of his mobility he had before the accident, but the doctors explained that it shouldn�t affect his racing.

We wish Bill the best in his return to racing, and it is great to have him back at the track.

Bill Ballance definitely has his share of hardware holding his bone together as you can tell from this Xray, and they would normally leave the plate and screws in place forever, but because of Bill�s involvement in racing, they are going to remove the plate over the winter break.

Bill told me his has $1,200 worth of Hardware(Aftermarket) parts in his leg.

Chris Borich had a Brand New 2006 Honda 450R in his pits with Electric Start, but it looks like he will still be racing his 05 machines for atleast one more race.

The sun is starting to come out and it is turning into a beautiful day, but unfortuntately we didn�t get the little bit of rain we needed to keep the dust down tomorrow.

I am headed out to walk the track now, but before I do here is a view of the finish line at the top of �The Wall� with the Unadilla MX Track as the back drop.
