SORCS Round 4 2007
Taylor Kiser Sweeps Dust Bowl
GNCC ATV Pro Taylor Kiser took the overall in Round 4 of the SORCS series.
In what has to be the dustiest race ever, GNCC #3, Taylor Kiser got the holeshot and went on to sweep the ATV overall winning the ATV Pro class. Round 4 saw five GNCC regulars converge on the grueling race at Wrens. The SORCS series is beginning to see a lot of GNCC Pro's, especially during the off weekends. Basically, the way the riders went into the first woods section dictated the way they would finish. The track was so dusty, you could see a pattern develop at the beginning of the race. On lap one, the leaders dust trail could be seen from far off. As the dust trail would drop off, the next riders trail could be seen. This pattern would continue until the checkered flag fell. The dust was so dense, passing was at a premium. The riders simply could not get close enough to attempt a pass. Despite the dangerous conditions, injuries were at a minimum. I attribute this in riders being smart and riding safely,
sacrificing points for just finishing the race and salvaging what they could. With the exception of Richie Brown, the GNCC regulars finished in the top positions. The first non GNCC regular in the finishing order was Zack Lovell, finishing forth. Zack got a good start and ran a good pace to get a good solid finish. Scott Rogers and Richie Brown almost tied for the last place position off the line in the Pro class. Scott has always been able to come from behind in any race to get a good finish. However, it was not to be in this race. Riding blind does not build a lot of confidence, and simply finishing is better than a DNF. Scott took what he could and finished seventh, keeping himself and his bike in one piece. The ATV Pro class finish order was: Taylor Kiser, Santo DeRisi, Brian Toney, Zack Lovell, D Martin, Steve Purser, Scott Rogers, Richie Brown and 
Trevor Schrantz. All the riders commented that the course layout was great and would have been a fun race without the dusty conditions. The ATV Pro class it very tight. With only six points separating the top five positions, it's anyone race right now. With only 25 points among the SORCS regulars, this is shaping up to be a very exciting a season. Congratulations to Scott on maintaining the #1 spot. With D Martin only one point behind Scott, this looks like a repeat of the High Points series. These young men will not give up for anyone, and will race hard but clean. They have always had a lot of respect for each other and its good to see the close racing action.
In the ATV A Class, GNCC regular Jennifer Albright was in the lineup. It was good to see Jennifer again, she is having a great year in the GNCC series. Jennifer is currently in third place in the Women's class, only 12 points behind Angel Atwell. Jennifer got a great start but was overtaken by Max
Seagraves, once again setting a blistering pace. Jennifer knew she couldn't sacrifice a possible injury and finished a respectable 3rd. Cameron played it safe and finished fourth. Currently Cam has a solid lock on second place in the A Class. He said the track was so much fun, he only wished they could hang it out a little more. Chuck Norris finished second in the A Class.
Congratulations to Kelly Deloach for winning the Women's class! Good job Kelly.
To sum up the race coverage, this was a pretty boring event. It was super dusty, not a lot, if any passing, and hot. This, however, has been the status quo for every race so far this season, with the possible exception of Aonia. With Aonia having more than it's share of problems, this has been a unique year. Certainly no fault of Eddie and the SORCS staff, this just goes to show how much the weather plays into this type of event. The good news is, it is raining! As I write this, I see a steady rain falling. It has been raining all day, a steady rain! Hopefully this will be the start to a turnaround to the series. As dusty as it was, it is amazing that Brenda got as many great photos as she did. She did find a spot near the finish that was watered and kept the dust down somewhat.

Until next time, God Bless, be careful, see you soon......
