Weekend Warrior Titan GNCC Results Revised
Borich Moves From Second to First
Morgantown, WV (May 6, 2009) - Race officials
from the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series have announced revisions to the results
based on penalties in the XC1 Pro ATV class from
Saturday's Weekend Warrior Titan GNCC. During
the race, officials became aware of three riders
venturing outside of the allotted 25-feet from
the course marker arrows during a section of the
first lap on racing. The Racer TV crew captured
the section on video, and the video was studied
at the track on race day. However, greater
analysis was available with the equipment
utilized at the Racer Productions TV studios in
Morgantown, WV. After analyzing the video and
data collected from track check points, it was
identified that Adam McGill, Don Ockerman and
Taylor Kiser had missed a section of the course,
passing competitors in the process.
In the revised results, McGill and Ockerman have
been moved back three positions based on both
riders gaining two spots while diverting from
the track. Kiser has been moved back two
positions as he gained only one spot while
diverting from the track.
The change moves Kiser from first to third
place, Ockerman from fourth to seventh, and
McGill from sixth to ninth.
The revision moves Rockstar Makita Suzuki's
Chris Borich into first place for the race,
which makes the Titan his third race win of the
season. Yamaha's Brandon Sommers moves from
third to second in the final results.
GNCC organizer Racer Productions prides itself
on the integrity of its events and will continue
to utilize all of the tools at its disposal to
ensure a fair outcome of any competition it
holds.
