 Traci
Lenig Cecco Places 6th at Rausch Creek GNCC
Thrown
from her Team Alba Racing LTZ400 in the tight tree section
only to discover that the axle was tweaked - Traci Cecco still
manages surprisingly fast lap times and again takes the lead.
But a lost wheel is not something you can ride off. After
a quick pit, Cecco still manages a respectable 6th place finish!
That's the kind of "never say
die" attitude that makes a great rider! Great Job Traci! |
