“Bill Ballance is the last racer to overall a GNCC on a 250R based machine. The Kentucky GNCC legend won the final race of 2003 at the Ironman round”

His quote on the podium, "This is the best way to retire this two stroke machine. Now, it is time to make this thing obsolete and bring out the production machines. I am looking for the factories to come in and make this sport just what we want." Bill had no idea how right he would be. The factories and production bikes DID come, the sport DID change, and almost just as fast it all ended”.

Pennsylvania's Chris Borich on his Laeger 250R back in '03. Chris would win three races that season, but Bill Ballance would win nine and the GNCC title. The next several seasons, Borich would go through Yamaha and Honda 450's before deciding on the LTR450. It was on the 'zuki that he won six straight GNCC championships and the majority of his seventy five wins. Two and a half decades later, Borich is still on pro row and the last remaining current pro racer to have raced a 250R in the GNCC pro class.

Interesting

Mark Ehrhardt on the CT Racing 250R from somewhere around the 1991 era. These frames were 4130 chromoly and $1,700 from CT back then. Seems like they were very limited production and rare.

Chris Gillette's true survivor, non restored Laeger 250R. The West Virginia native raced pro GNCC throughout the later 80's up until1997. Today, GNCC racing starts its 50th season. And, like everything else, it has expanded and changed drastically in those five decades. Gillette's era preceded half a million dollar (or more) rigs, separate AM/PM races and 40k (or more) builds.

Old race quad

One of William Yokley's old Roll GNCC lobos as it exists now. The current owner has owned it for almost twenty years, won three state championships with it and still rides it from time to time. He bought it straight from Yokley and was even able to ride with his childhood hero that day. He was a teenager then and remembers "it was the best day of my life and it still might be the day of my life". This one is 100% not for sale nor will it be.
