Ohio race this weekend

We're off to another race this weekend. We are excited that this race is in Ohio...only about an hour from Parkersburg. (The closest race of the year!!! YEAH) The last race was at Loretta Lynns Ranch in Tenn, but we just couldn't make that long of a trip. Instead, we stayed glued to the live feed for lap results. Chris came in 10th at that race. Today's GNCC Racing article had this to say about him and his teammate Bithell...

"Chris Bithell and Chris Jenk’s luck seems to have taken a turn for the better this weekend. Jenks ended his day with a top 10 finish in the XC1 class with Bithell just seconds behind him in 11th. “The bike did really well out there. The Warnert crew came up with some good ideas for this race. We put them to the test and everything worked out good,” said Jenks. Jenks did get hung up in the 3rd lap, which dropped him back to 13th, but he made the push and worked his way back up to finish with an overall time of 02:16:13. Bithell who had a bad start coming off the line in 19th, put the hammer down and began picking off riders one by one. Despite the rough track conditions, Bithell managed to work his way up to 11th and finish with a time of 02:16:54, which earned him 16th overall.

The Warnert team will once again be ready for action as they head to the John Penton (round 6) in Millfield, OH on May 10th, where Beasley will try to continue his sweep of the 4x4 Lites and Bithell and Jenks hope that luck will be on their side once again as they try for the podium."
