Traci Cecco Scores a Solid Second at the Wisp GNCC

After a 180 degree spinout off the start on the slick grassy turn one Traci Cecco gets headed in the right direction to chase down the early leaders. By the 9 mile marker of the 1st lap Cecco has worked her way to within 4 seconds of 1st place rider Honda of Troys Stephanie Parton. Cecco held her position steady throughout the final 2 laps of the race while battling a severely bent spindle & no brakes after contacting a rock during the first lap of the race to bring home a solid 2nd placing at the end.

"I had a pretty scary start today when I spun out on the slick grass right after turn one with racers passing me by as I was facing backwards sliding down the track" , "My Alba Z motor ran flawless today" "I hit a rock really hard in the first couple of miles while trying to make up time I lost when I spun out - I guess I bent my spindle pretty bad which aided in me loosing my front brakes completely" "I still made good time - but the bent spindle and no brakes kept me off of the pace I wanted to run" "I am just glad to have finished with some good points going into the final 4 rounds!"
