2008 GNCC-Round#4"Pirelli Big Buck " Amatuer Race Coverage

Round #4 of the Can Am GNCC Series headed south to Union SC for the Pirelli Big Buck and once again mother nature decided we needed to play in the rain!

This round marked the 3rd straight race where the weather would impact the event as rain hammered the region late friday night and throughout the morning. The weather friday was hot!!with temps way up in the 80's. As folks stood in line for registration, they were treated to a free copy of ATVInsider to help pass the time.

This round of racing also marked the start of the UTV race as many machines were tooling around the pits as fans got a glimpse of what would be competing.

A few folks asked me where I was friday afternoon, and the truth is I was about 3 hours late getting to the race. I arrived just in the nick of time to get in a quick shoot with Adam McGill and then took my spot in line to register

I had this shot all picked out in my head, to bad I blew it

So, only getting a few minutes with McGill (hey I wont be the one who causes his quad to develop a problem or get him hurt by spending 2 hours taking pics the night before a race ) not getting to waunder around and chat, I found myself at dark with having to get some grub and still prep my sons quad

So complaining doesnt work, because the more I moaned about never enough time blah blah blah, the lightening grew worse. By the time I figured out it was my punishment it was to late and we were getting hammered with rain and lightening Sorry!

To be truthful, I got a pretty decent nights sleep as the rain piter patered on the trailer roof Reminded me of the tim roof on the farmhouse when I was a kid.

No alarm clock was needed as the first stuck truck of the day found itself right next to me spinning wildly at 6 am I drank my coffee as I watched the poor feller slip and slide.

So, finally venturing outside and praying teh rain would spare us any further downpours I headed off to the starting line. There is nothing that will wake you up more then happening upon Dudding doing his "self sych up" routine

The sun actually popped out right before the start, but the clouds off in the distance had a different story going on. I bet Hooper he wouldnt go give Big Johns pony tail a good yank!!!

He chickened out

The Warnert Racing crew stands by as their riders get ready on the line. Warnert puts a ton of hours in each week getting ready for these events and it shows both in their trackside presence and in teh results they get on the track.

Jennifer Albright hams it up for me before the start. Jen has been having a mixed bag of results this season, which peaked at the opening round with a solid 3rd place finish. It hasnt been for lack of trying, she sure has had the hammer down in some bad conditions at rounds 2 and 3.

Angel Atwell opened the season with a big bang, taking the win but failed to follow that up in the subsequent 2 rounds. This had to have had her pumped for yet another chance to lay the smack down at the Big Buck!
