Original DragonFire team driver Hans Wagge just seems to keep getting better each year. This is the same guy that brought DragonFire a Baja 250, 500 and 1000 title in 2009 and after putting that same race car on a diet he’s back out mixing it up with the short course guys. Turns out he can do that too! Hans brought home a 2nd place finish on Saturday at the Lucas Oil Regionals and a 1st on Sunday in the Unlimited UTV class.

Jacks Excavating
Jacks Excavating Racing – GNCC

This family is known for being seriously fast in woods racing and leaving a positive impression everywhere they go. The two brothers Marcus & Mouse Pratt both suffered mechanical issues on lap one after contact with a hidden stump in the XC1 class. Each showed that they won’t give up and did what they had to do to finish the race. Mouse brought home a respectable 5th and Marcus finished 23rd. Meanwhile, the newest addition to their team and cousin to the Pratt brothers Joe Krcelich was up front in the XC2 class and has been leading the pack in the first two rounds of GNCC. Joe battled hard all day and came across the line in 4th, while maintaining his season points lead.
