DeRisi Racing

Braden Henthorn, Eric Hoyland Big Buck Podium

CASAR, NC, April 16, 2012 – Round 4, the VP Racing Big Buck GNCC in Union, SC, was full of success for DeRisi Racing as 7 out of 8 team riders landed top five finishes.  The newest addition to the team, Carter Kerens, had an unfortunate mechanical problem which only allowed him to make one lap.  He is looking forward to the next race in Kentucky to show his true potential in the 90 Open (8-11) class.  The next team rider to take a run at the dusty track was Kylie Ahart.  Kylie had a slight collision with another rider off the start, but quickly rebounded and fought hard to eventually finish 4^th in the elite Women’s class.

Braden Henthorn, Eric Hoyland Steele Creek Podium

CASAR, NC, April 2, 2012 – For Round 3 of the GNCC series, the DeRisi Racing crew made the short 1-hour drive to Steele Creek Campground in Morganton, NC.  Much needed rain would fall on Friday night and into Saturday morning, making for perfect track conditions.  The first of the DeRisi team to hit the track would be Kylie Ahart, racing the Women’s Pro class.  Kylie got off to a great start and battled for the lead the entire race, eventually finishing in the 4^th position.  She showed her competitors that she has the speed to run up front and is sure to be a championship contender as she sits third in points.

Team DeRisi Racing 2012

CASAR, NC, March 21, 2012 – The Florida sun was shining bright as the DeRisi Racing crew rolled into River Ranch for Round 1 of the GNCC series.  The beautiful weather would eventually give way to rain clouds that would spread some moisture on the track by the time racing got underway.  When the flag dropped on the XC2 row, both Eric Hoyland and Braden Henthorn would suffer mid-pack starts.  Both riders rebounded quickly, however, and managed to work their way well inside the top 5 early in the race.  At the finish line, it would be XC2 rookie, Braden Henthorn, taking an impressive 2^nd place finish with teammate, Eric Hoyland, rounding out the podium in 3^rd.  Read the rest of this entry »
