Welcome to Carrillo Racing |

Some people say that cross country (XC) racing is one of the most grueling and demanding sports that you can participate in. Whether it be GNCC style, with the various terrain changes encompassing dirt tracks, woods, rocks, roots, mud, ruts, grass fields, sand pits and motocross, or Baja style where long distances are the norm, XC racing has it all. As demanding as this sport is, it has been growing in recent years, and there are several race circuits in the northeast. Plans for next year include racing in the 30+B Sport class. I will be attending races in the GNCC and ATVA nationals series, as well as some smaller local races to get my niece comfortable with racing. Who knows, she may race some nationals in the 90cc stock class after all! |

Erik settles for 8th at Round 1 of the ATVAS |
|
 Round 2 of the Northeast Harescramble series was also Round 1 of the ATVA National series. I was eagerly anticipating this race, as the ATVA national courses are always challenging, and the competition is usually pretty tough. I had replaced the bad bearings and gone over the quad with a fine tooth comb, I wasn't going to let a mechanical issue affect me for this race... Or so I thought...
My start wasn't bad, mid-pack out of 11 riders. I quickly settled into a pace behind the other riders getting a feel for the course.. The first fun challenge was a sick hill-climb that we hadn't run before.. I've been practicing some hill climbs on my personal course, and I have to say, they CERTAINLY prepared me for this! I picked my line and passed 4 people in my class on the hill.. At the top I shouted "Oh YEAH!" and with a charge of adrenaline, I pushed forward.

 On April 17th I raced at Evansville once again. I was super excited for this race because it was my first National race. There were about 11 people in my class. We got to race on the super cross track as well as the usual track. It was fun and easy because I have done that track so many times already. I have also been practicing my turns so I was way more confident with riding. I ended up getting the hole shot in the first race. Then many people went the wrong way so we had to restart. I was behind a slower rider and kept trying to pass her but she kept getting in my way. I started to yell but she just ignored me. Finally I got passed her and was so relieved. I thought I was doing really well; I was in front of some people.
