In addition to the promise
shown by the new Yamaha,
Cory Texter has been outstand-
ing on his freshly-minted Kawa-
saki Vulcan S-based machine.
Texter scored his first career
GNC1 heat race win on the bike
and finished a solid seventh in
the main.
Others in the top 10 included
TT and short track specialist

The night was also a good

First-year GNC1 riders Dominic
Colindres and Jarod Vanderkooi

the main may have prolonged the
29-year-old from Timonium, Mary-
land's, racing career. "I'm number
30S and I always said if I still had the
S on my number plate when I turned
30 I was going to retire. Now I guess
I'm going to have to race another 10
years." Isennock finished 15th. This
is Isennock's second run at trying
to qualify for a Grand National. He
first tried about 10 years ago, then
got away from racing for a while and
came back in the GNC2 class. Isen-
nock won the GNC2 national at Hag-
erstown in 2013 before coming back
to GNC1 last season.
Two of the newest motorcycles
