BTW ballance misied one race too, with ZERO points and still beat out Borich :notworthy:

 

the man is just not ready to be dethroned

no racing for me, especially GNCC. Iv done a D6 hairscramble allready... that was "interesting".

 

My cousin has been racing a few GNCC's every year and he's pretty good. He races in the Utiliy Unlimited class. He raced the Wisp this year and I went along to pit for him. He got 6th place in his class. Im a big fan of the Utility classes, they're a fun and unique class, plus they flat out haul ass. Another hometown GNCC races named bob obrick races in the Utlity Modified class, he races all the GNCC's and finished 4th overall in his class. Iv helped bob in the pits at the 6hr race at Rausch Creek this past summer. Oh hell yea man, im a big gncc fan. I used to post alot of GNCC stuff in the XC section of these forums, but I never had many replies.

 

Ballance is without a doubt, better than Borich was this year. Your right, they both had a throwaway race and Ballance still came out #1. Iv been a bill ballance fan since he used to tangle with Barry Hawk. His yellow LRD250r might be my favorite quad of all time. You all know the quad, its the yellow 250r with the big Klotz decals on the sides and it has a blue LRD aluminum frame. I seen that quad up close in the pits and watched it win the 2003 Rausch Creek gncc. Bill Ballance 6 time GNCC Pro champion. :notworthy:

I took pictures of his '03 LRD250r, I got pictures of his "04 and "05 YFZs. I'll show yas the pictures in a day or three.

 

I go to alot of District 6 hairscrambles, dist 6 is eastern Pa and some of NJ. Anyways, about 5 years ago there's this local kid thats been dominating the local hairscrambles and won the 250A class in the GNCC series. Chris Borich. Chris lives 10 miles away from me :cheers: so that pretty much requires me to be a huge fan :D

 

Im also a Jim Stack fan, if anyone knows who Stack is :evil:

Kinda off topic, but did anyone hear that Jason Baldwin, driver for Baldwin Motorsports, passed away last Saturday coming home from the Baja 1000. His plane crashed 3 miles off the coast of Dana Point, and sunk to the bottom, he is a So Cal man, and was about 20 miles from the airport when they crashed. He was quit a racer, made quite a bit of headlines, when he hit that guy head on and killed him, on his bike, and also lost control of his truck and went into the crowd, and killed 2 other people. Keep his family in your prayers, he was only 35, wasn't his time yet.
