A total of seven racers will contest the 2010 GNCC season for Team Warnert Racing/ Can-Am and each of the team members have been working hard during the off-season to be ready to go when the opener rolls around in March.
Chris Bithell is making his return in the XC1 Pro class against the toughest woods racers in the world. Bithell is a fierce competitor and was consistently one of the fastest Pro racers in the woods last season finishing with several top-10 showings and an overall podium.
Joining Bithell in the XC1 Pro class will be racer Adam McGill.
Last season, 4x4 Limited class rider Michael Swift went all 13 rounds without losing a race and he is looking forward to continuing that class-win streak in 2010.
When he broke his leg at the seventh round of the season last year, defending his 2008 4x4 Open championship looked impossible. Bryan Buckhannon, however, was hard at work in the three rounds of racing he missed, making sure he would be ready to run up front when he returned. That he did as he finished in the top three of each of the final four rounds, including taking a do-or-die win at the final round of the season.
Lexie Coulter returns in the Women's class, but will now be a part of the Warnert Racing team. Coulter ran in the top 10 at almost every round last season, including five class podiums and two overall podium finishes.
Jamie Bithell raced the College A (16-21) class last season and finished second in the class championship with a win and several second-place finishes. This year, he will challenge for the College A class title.
