Not mx I know, but this years gncc series has been a good one to follow. It’s down to the last race of the season to crown this years champ of the xc1. The xc2 champ was locked last weekend by Girroir and I think he’ll be a force in xc1 once he moves up. Next year will be even better once all the guys are healthy again. Just a super fun series to follow, and to be able to race in as a slower old dude…
Ironman usually brings out some industry names, anybody know if some big names are coming out for the finale next weekend? I unfortunately missed the race this year with 199, bummer. I was hoping to get passed by him, ha

Side note/question isn’t he the youngest guy to ever start in the front row at a gncc? Before the age rule didn’t he sign up for xc1 at like 14?

I was a moto guy only when I was younger and figured I would race Hare Scrambles when I was older. I race the plus 50 class in FTR Hare Scrambles and I crash more now than I ever have in my life. All is well and you think you're ripping through the woods then wham you're on your head because you didn't see a slick tree root.
Kelley should be way ahead in points due to stu's missed race
I got mad respect for the women racers!
Ben comes from an off-road racing family, his dad Mike and uncle Dave were pretty fast guys in the NETRA enduro series and cousin John is the 2016 NETRA H/S champ and has a good chance at another title with the points lead going into the final NETRA enduro on 10/24.
So go Ben Kelley!!!!!

Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe after the incident with toth last year maybe they crack down on the team tactics.
Either way its a bummer I was really looking forward to the racing.
Pit Row
Anyone who's been around this type of racing knows that these kind of lines just develop and everyone that sees them starts taking them.
Aside from all that, Baylor was docked 4 points while other riders were docked just 1 point. I understand this rule assigns penalty points by position, but it still doesn't seem quite right that two riders can commit the exact same infraction and get penalized differently.
GNCC is in a tough spot in situations like this because its extremely difficult (impossible?) to write a black and white rule that can cover every possible scenario.
MX Sports caving to KTM pressure. Regardless of the outcome there is now an asterisk.
Is this the word?
Like they knew people would take the line and this was the plan...?
As I said before, it's very tough to write a rules and penalties for these types of situations that cover every scenario perfectly because in this type of racing, every scenario is different. I understand why the rule was written this way, I just don't think it works all that well in practice.
I'd almost think that perhaps a 30-second penalty for such a minor infraction such as this would be more reasonable, but then what if the cut was 45 feet next time? It's hard to write black and white rules for a gray world.
