04.19.10 River Ranch, FL The season opener went off with a bang for the Warnert Racing team with both Adam McGill and Chris Bithell finishing in the top five, while the A.M class racers claimed four wins with Lexie Coulter taking the overall.
Adam McGill, the newest pro racer on the Warnert team lead the XC1 Pro ATV class for four out of five laps until he fell victim to a mud hole in the final lap; however, McGill was not going to let that stop him as he went on to take the third spot on the podium and finished only three seconds behind first. Today was amazing! I really have to give a big thank you to Can-Am and the Warnert team. They have done an amazing job with the bikes and I am looking forward to being on the podium a lot this year, said McGill excitedly.
Chris Bithell also had a great run as he was in a close second behind McGill for a good part of the race. Bithell threw down some of the fastest lap times of the race with his fastest lap recorded in lap two with a time of 28:07. Bithell hung on to take fourth place within seconds of McGill.
Lexie Coulter, who is new to the team for 2010, let it be known that she has every intension of going for the Womens championship. Coulter was fifth off the line and paced herself until the fourth lap, when she made her move. Coulter put the hammer down and took over the lead shortly into lap five, taking the Womens class win and her first ever overall A.M. win. I was hoping for a good race, but I didnt know it was going to be that good! exclaimed Coulter, who says that having the full support of the Warnert team played a big part in her round one success. Starting the season with a win is a great confidence builder and I hope that I can keep putting the Can-Am on the podium, she concluded.
Cliff Beasley, who made the move to the U2 class this season, seemed to be adapting well to his new ride, coming away with his first U2 class win. It was an easy switch for me. Warnert has done a great job once again with the bike, which makes winning easier for me, stated Beasley.
Michael Swift and Bryan Buckhannon picked up right where they both left off last season as well with Swift taking the 4x4 Limited win and Buckhannon claiming top honors in the 4x4 Open class. Everything went well and I had a good race, said Swift. It was a good day for our team and I think its going to be an exciting season, added Buckhannon.
In the College A class, the newest member to the Warnert team, Jamie Bithell, laid down some solid lap times to finish second in his class, in his Warnert Racing debut.
With the first race under their belt, the Warnert team is preparing for round two on March 20th in Georgia, where the threat of rain and mud could make things a bit messy, but the team is prepared to once again dominate in their classes at round two of the 2010 GNCC.
