Kiser Earns 5th at Mountain Ridge

Somerset, PA – FRE
KTM Factory rider Taylor Kiser earned 5th
overall at round 9 of the GNCC Series at
Mountain Ridge Park.
Kiser adapted well
to the rough and technical track starting within
the top five and maintaining that spot the
duration of the race. His teammate, Adam McGill,
was not far back off the start running inside
the top ten.
Both Kiser and McGill had a
good first few laps until bad luck struck McGill
when he broke his shifter on a large rock.
McGill rode as best as he could while stuck in
2nd gear until he made it to the pits where the
KTM crew provided him with a new shift lever. He
pulled back on to the course dropping
approximately five positions. In an attempt to
make up time, McGill came upon the dreaded rock
section once more and tried increasing his speed
as he plowed through the boulders. Unfortunately
his left front wheel got stuck in between two
rocks as he was speeding through which sent
McGill over the bars while cracking the wheel.
Once recovered, he again visited the pits to
repair the damage. With little time left in the
race he charged through the pack to salvage as
many positions as he could and eventually
crossed the line in 15th. Kiser rode a smooth
and consistent race to finish a solid 5th place
overall.
The GNCC Series will now take a
two month break. The next round is scheduled for
September 13-14, 2008 in Snowshoe, WV.
