Shermansdale, PA – One of the toughest tracks
of the year could not stop Cecco Racing’s Rick
Cecco from making his way to the podium at round
number seven of the 2010 GNCC series.
The Mountain Ridge course in Somerset, Pa has
always had the reputation as a tough track, but
this year seemed particularly brutal with big
rocks and rough terrain that was nearly
impassable in some sections.
Cecco would get off to a good start and was in
second as the 4x4 Open class headed into the
woods. Cecco would battle back and forth with
Brian Buckhannon and Zack Zakowski for most of
the race, swapping positions several times
before the last lap when disaster struck. While
crossing a stream that Cecco had cleared with
ease in prior laps the stream had become deeper
and more hazardous with large loose rocks at the
bottom. Cecco would get high centered on one of
those rocks and would be forced to dismount and
get down and dirty in the mud and water after
trying several times using the traditional
methods of getting unstuck by picking up on the
bumper or grab bar. “I was lying on my back in
the water, which was about a foot and a half
deep, while keeping my head above water I pushed
my quad up and out with my legs and finally I
got the quad free and kept going” said Cecco.
Cecco’s unfortunate incident would put him back
into third place, but his “Can’t stop – won’t
stop” attitude was still good enough to give him
a solid overall podium in third place at the end
of the day.
