GNCC Round #7 Race Report
May 16, 2009 - Mountain Ridge - Somerset, Pennsylvania
Somerset Pennsylvania is the home of Round seven of the GNCC series. In past years the Somerset track has been known to be extremely rocky in sections yet wide open and fast in others.
Saturday morning we arrived to track early and with no rain I prepared for a tough dusty race. When the 10 second call was made I focused on putting in a smooth ride. My reaction to the green flag was great but I stalled the bike which landed me in the back of the pack heading into corner number one. As the class headed onto the course I was calm and began making passes in the dusty conditions.

Borich Outduels McGill for Mountain Ridge GNCC Win
Kirkland takes XC2 class, Benson wins morning overall
"It was so much fun, that might have been the best battle me and Adam we've had," said Borich. "I got an okay start, I was hooked up with (Chris) Bithell there in third, then he made a mistake in a rock section and I went around him. They told me I was down 45 seconds to McGill, so I just decided to put the hammer down and see what we had."

2009 Induction Ceremony for AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum to be held at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas Thursday, 14 May 2009 18:41 | Author: Pete terHorst |
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Each year, the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum invites a group of special individuals to take a well-deserved seat among the greats of motorcycling history, and this Dec. 5, the annual induction ceremony will go down at its coolest location ever: the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. "The AMA is firmly dedicated to elevating the stature of our Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. "While the $1 million endowment that the AMA Board of Directors announced in February was a significant renewal of that dedication, it was only one part of those efforts. By moving our induction ceremony to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, we intend to give the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum -- and, by extension, our shared history and heritage -- the world-class stage it deserves." Added Rich Diaz, special events manager for the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas: "Motorcycle culture represents freedom, rebellion and an independent spirit. Our property was founded on those principles, so naturally we are beyond pleased to welcome the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony."
