I have raced 10 times this year, 9 were gncc and the 2 man 4 hr at western. I have also rode exactly 10 times also!! So with that sad fact stated, I finished 5th in the vet 30 c class for the series and 7th overall for the class.
The Ironman was an awesome experience, 894 in the morning race with 41 in the vet 30 c class! The craziest part about that race, there was no on course congestion. Creek crossings and hill climbs were the bottlenecks but on course options were everywhere! Oh yeah, last place start in my class to finish 14 and 343 overall.
I like the gncc series much better than the local HS series. We make a Fri-sun wknd of it some as a whole family some not.
If I could suggest 2 and only 2 gncc races to attend I would say Tomahawk and Ironman. Neither was super difficult but had flow, passing spots but were mixed with tight stuff. That is my opinion atleast!
Price break down for gncc:
20 at gate
40 to race, pre register and get 20 gift card back
75 for transponder to buy, return it and get back 65
Oh, cant forget ama card!
I forget the other questions but hope I answered some
