Yokley Racing Summary

The heavy rainstorms and flooding that hit the eastern U.S. were a big concern to everyone heading to Unadilla for Round 10 of the GNCC Series. Flooding in New York closed some of the major roads nearby, but the conditions were actually almost perfect at the historic Unadilla MX facility. The Racer Production crew shortened the course to bypass some very wet valley sections, but the remaining track was great, including parts of the AMA National Pro motocross course.

Jarrod McClure got a great start, going into the woods in third place. He passed one rider on the motocross course and finished the first lap in second. Jarrod had the lead on lap 2 for awhile until Chris Borich passed him. He ran up front with the top riders for the next several laps. He dropped back a few positions in the last several laps to finish sixth in the XC1 Pro class.

Summary – XC1 Pro ATV

The track at Millfield can be really muddy, or really dusty. This weekend’s race was run in almost perfect conditions after receiving some rain recently; it was sunny and the temperature in the 80’s. There was very little dust, and there were some muddy hillclimbs and creek crossings. The course included a pro-style motocross track as well as tight woods sections.

Jarrod McClure got off the line well, but someone ran over his rear tire in the first turn, almost flipping him over. He completed lap 1 in sixth position, and was being smart with his line selections in the muddy areas. He moved into fifth on lap 2, and maintained that position to the finish. Many of the pro riders were getting stuck, but McClure said he never did. He attributed that to the new Kenda tires and Tireballs, and was really stoked about the traction they provided.

The National Guard Polaris Coastal Drilling Yokley Racing Team hauler traveled to Louisville Kentucky for the annual Thunder over Louisville on April 16. This one day event features the largest annual fireworks show in the country, kicking off the festivities leading up to the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May.

Unusually volatile spring weather in the region made less than perfect weather conditions for the event. Intermittent rain, cool temps and windy conditions kept the attendance less than normal. However, 300,000 people attended and witnessed a great air show featuring 90 military and other aircraft, including the latest $150 million F-22 Raptor fighter jet. As well, 58,000 shells were exploded for the grand finale 30 minute fireworks display.

The National Guard Polaris Yokley Racing Team appeared at the Kentucky State Fair, August 20 – 29 in Louisville Ky. Team owner William Yokley met with the soldiers and crowd, signing autographs and displaying the team race machines.

The National Guard display was interactive, allowing visitors to sit on and examine the Polaris RZR, Outlaw 450, military trucks and Humvees, as well as rock wall climbing, jousting and obstacle courses. The display is a fair favorite and creates a great deal of interest.

Even though the weather produced record high temperatures, more than 600,000 people attended the fair!
