GNCC XC-2 1st place Jason thomas
EKS BRAND/FAR Husqvarna racer Jason Thomas was
not happy at all with his first two races of the season, but he seems
to have his house in order and took a dominating win in the XC2 class
at Steele Creek. The FAR Husqvarna-backed rider ran as high as third
overall at one point in the race, but ultimately settled into a pace
that carried him to a nearly six-minute margin of victory over second
place. The victory also gave Thomas the XC2 points lead.
