KTM continues their Off-Road domination in the GNCC series as the Orange Wrecking Krew swept second through sixth place. Finnish rider, Juha Salminen placed second and increased his points lead in the series with former GNCC Champion, Shane Watts taking the third podium spot.
In an unexpected upset, three-time AMA National Motocross Champion, and retired full-time racer, Doug Henry came in first just mere seconds in front of the KTM Freight Train led by Juha "The Fast Finn" Salminen. Together, they handed the young GNCC racers an old-school lesson. Going for the glory, Henry battled with Juha and the rest of the talented field of riders for the entire three hours and Henry was so exhausted at the finish that he required an IV from trackside medics.
On the most brutal course the GNCC circuit has seen so far, Juha barely settled for second as his teammate Shane Watts placed an uncontested third and broke down in tears on the podium. Giving an emotional speech, he said, "It helps heaps to have people like this behind you. People just don't know how far down I've been. Things have changed so much for me. I'm married now and we're expecting a baby. Believe it or not, I have to leave the track so I can go to class tonight. I'm in school now. Things have changed so much."
Shane is in school getting his real estate license.
Making a late charge, and setting the fastest lap times of the day, Kurt Caselli finished fourth and six-time National Enduro Champion, Mike Lafferty placed fifth. As the KTM Kaboose, new rider Robbie Jenks completed the KTM Train in sixth place.
