DUVALL GRABS MOUNTAIN RIDGE
GNCC VICTORY
R
ocky Mountain ATV-MC/
KR4/FAR's Thad Duvall
captured his first victory of the
season at the Car-Mate Moun-
tain Ridge GNCC in Somerset,
Pennsylvania, October 4. He
openly admits that he doesn't
like racing in the mud, but he
seems to always shine when
it gets wets, and that's exactly
what it was at this one, round
11 of the 2015 AMSOIL GNCC
Series.
Fuelled by the presence of
Hurricane Joaquin over the
Atlantic Ocean, the Mountain
Ridge GNCC was indeed a wet
one, but that didn't dampen the
enthusiasm of the racers, or the
many fans that braved the nasty
conditions.
Obermeyer Suzuki/Fly Rac-
ing/Maxxis Tires' Chris Douglas
got things started with the $250
All Balls Racing XC1 Holeshot,
but Jordan Ashburn on the N-
Fab AmPro Yamaha took over
the point before the first lap was
over. Ashburn then pulled out to
a 37-second lead and looked as
though he might run off with this
one, but Duvall and Grant Baylor
had other ideas.
Duvall quickly closed the gab
on Ashburn and moved into the
lead when the Yamaha rider
pulled into the pits to replace his
rear wheel, the foam insert hav-
ing shredded itself.
