2ND GNCC PODIUM FOR F.A.R. HUSQVARNA`S JASON THOMAS.
15th Mar 2011
F.A.R. Husqvarna/Rockwell Time`s Jason Thomas made his 2nd trip up onto the GNCC XC2 PRO-LITES Podium this weekend with an impressive 3rd spot finish at Round 2 of this season`s series,the Maxxis General,which was held at Aonia Pass,Washington,Georgia.
Racing the increasingly impressive Husqvarna TXC250F,Thomas absorbed the
punishment inflicted by a major 1st lap crash,which could easily have
ended his day,but exploded his Camel-Back in the process,leaving him
without hydration for the rest of the race.
By the mid-point of the 3 hour event,Thomas,who,along with the Fred Andrews race team,has done much to raise the profile of Husqvarna`s Off-Road capability Stateside in recent GNCC events,had worked his way back up to 4th place,& managed to continue with his charge for the remainder of the event,grabbing 3rd spot with a lap left to go.
Jason & the F.A.R.Husqvarna team will be back in GNCC action over the weekend of March 26th-27th,at Round 3 of the 2011 series,the FMF Steele Creek event,which will be held at Morganton,North Carolina.
