After a huge 10 week break in our GNCC series I was excited to get back to racing and back into the swing of things.

After flying up on Friday I felt good and ready to go, this was the fourth year I had been to this race so I felt I knew the track and felt comfortable in the conditions. The track was probably as good as it was going to get come Sunday for our race.

When the flag flew I got into the corner ok but got boxed in pretty good and had no where to go, I was out in about 8th, I quickly moved to the front and got into 2nd and then into the lead for a short time on the first lap, I stayed in the top 4 for the first couple of laps and then the lap of gas I had a small crash. After gas we caught up again and I was feeling pretty good when I clipped a lapper pretty good and lost my gear lever, I rode the rest of the lap with no shifter and pulled in to the pits to get a new one.  The last two laps I put on a charge to try and catch up but couldn’t get close enough.

I ended up 5th which I wasnt to happy about, Im now looking forward to the Worcs race this weekend and then Yadkinville the weekend after.

Thanks for the support.
