Taylor Kiser - XC1 Pro #6
GNCC Round #4 –
Pirelli Big Buck
Pirelli Big Buck – Union, SC - Big Buck has
always been a good track for my riding style so
I was looking forward to a great weekend of
racing. As the green flag went up I got a great
jump out of the hole and headed to the first
corner. As we hit the holeshot line I was second
behind Bill Ballance; this is where I rode
comfortably for the first lap. I gained the lead
early in lap number 2; I felt comfortable and
everything was flowing well.
I continued to lead the race until I pitted
on the third lap; Chris Borich and Adam McGill
decided not to pit at this time so after gas and
goggles I hit the course in fourth behind
Ballance. I was moving along great when I
connected with a tree, it was a pretty hard hit.
I was shook me up pretty good but tried to
quickly gather my thoughts. Getting the quad out
of the predicament took me what seemed like
forever. By the time I got back on the course I
was in fifth place behind Bryan Cook.
I put my head down and began to charge
forward for last lap of the race. In the end, I
placed fifth for the weekend. This places me in
third in the XC1 point’s standing’s just three
points behind second. I look forward to heading
to Loretta’s for round five of the GNCC series;
in preparation I will be heading to Tennessee
early for an OMA event and some additional
training.
