To say that FLY Racing offroad racers had a fantastic GNCC season would be an understatement; winning the XC2 Pro Lites championship for the second year in a row and dominating the class with 8 podium sweeps in 13 rounds. The FLY crew went all-out at the final round of the 2012 GNCC series to show its support and capture its ATV and Motorcycle team riders in their element at Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. A big thank you to every one of the FLY offroad racers out there for giving us a season to remember!
#33 Getting ready to start his first section pre run.
Entering the final round of the series, the championship race for the GNCC XC2 Pro Lites title couldn’t be any closer with one point separating reigning XC2 Champion Steward Baylor and Jason “UK7” Thomas. This set up a winner-takes-all showdown between the veteran Thomas and youngster Baylor, both wearing FLY Racing’s 2013 racewear.
Thomas started and stayed near the front and rode a consistent race, heeding way to Andrew Delong for the race win, but doing what he needed to beat Baylor across the line and take his first XC2 title. It was later revealed that Baylor had entered the day’s race with a recently broken collarbone yet still finished an amazing fourth place on the day and second in the championship!
Congratulations to Jason Thomas: 2012 GNCC XC2 Pro Lites Champion! FLY would also like to congratulate Steward Baylor and Andrew Delong for their hard fought second and third place in the final standings. All-in-all it was a fantastic year of racing for FLY riders in the XC2 class taking a total of eight podium sweeps during the 13 race series and multiple amateur titles.

There is still time to load up and get to the best Vet race in the country. Here is the chance to race with Vet riders from all over the world.
What happens when an off road racing motorcycle club decides to go dual sport riding. Well first they have to hang a bunch of lights and turn signals on their KTMs, CRFs and WRs. Once that is completed they have to pick a ride location. October in N. California is beautiful and the coastal range is the place to ride.
Tough to beat two wheel travel, these guys had a great time. Check out the pictures in the Gallery. Hard to beat riding along the coast on a dirt bike or how about thru the Redwoods.
