Minneapolis, July 8, 2008 - William Yokley and co-pilot, Mark Notman cruised to victory in their Polaris RANGER RZR at GNCC's Mountain Ridge-Round 9, in Somerset, Penn.
Yokley led the 45 min race for the first four laps. After an altercation midway through the race that resulted in losing the lead, Yokley regained the lead for the last three laps and never looked back. He finished the race taking first in the Open Modified Class and first overall, and leads the overall rankings with two races left.
Even though Yokley runs the Open Modified Class, he runs his RANGER RZR very few mods. His mods include different tires, wheels, shocks, exhaust, side panels, front and rear bumpers, battering ram and 5-point safety harnesses. The motor is completely stock.
GNCC's next Side-by-Side race is in St. Clairsville, OH, on October 11.
