Traci Cecco Wins Round 7 GNCC Race at the Jon Penton - Millfield, OH

With the weather providing the most extreme conditions yet for 2003 - which easily topped the muddy Florida and Georgia rounds - Team Alba's Traci Cecco guided her Alba Suzuki Z400 thru pouring down rain, mud holes, and extremely slick hill climbs to bring home her 2nd win of the 2003 GNCC season with a staggering 10 minute cushion of 2nd place!

From start to finish Cecco battled tooth and nail with Honda of Troy's Stephanie Parton to swap lead positions several times during the grueling 3 lap race with Cecco emerging on top as the 2003 John Penton GNCC Women's Class Champion. At the end of the race Traci Stated: "My Alba Suzuki Z400 ran like a top today", "I had a bit of trouble with my starting button not working properly on the first 2 laps - but we got it figured out - and I had no problems for the rest of the day", "Stephanie and I swapped positions about 5 times a lap in the beginning - we were yelling / cheering and actually having a great time out there", "Thanks everyone for the support!!!!"
