Borich and the QuadRacer R450 have yet to be off the podium. Brea, Calif. - June 29, 2010 - Deemed by some as "America's Toughest Race," the Snowshoe GNCC in Snowshoe, West Virginia, is a test of not just the rider, but also machine. For reigning GNCC ATV champion Chris Borich and the championship-winning Suzuki QuadRacer R450, however, it was just another race to win, which is just what they did on Saturday.

Chris Borich and his No. 1 Suzuki QuadRacer R450 took the win in the XC1 Pro class at the Snowshoe GNCC.
Utilizing the QuadRacer R450's power and durability, Borich grabbed the holeshot and stayed at the front of the pack for the entire race. As the competition struggled with the elevation, the QuadRacer R450's Suzuki fuel injection performed admirably and kept the power flowing. Borich held strong and eventually stretched out an unassailable lead, crossing the finish line nearly a minute and a half ahead of second place.
"The race was great," said Borich after the race. "Everyone was having setup problems due to the elevation, but the Suzuki QuadRacer R450 worked awesome. I got the holeshot and never had trouble climbing the big ski-lift mountains. As far as the bike is concerned, I can't ask for anything else!"
