BAYLORUPD8: STEWARD BAYLOR, GRANT BAYLOR
3-18-12, GNCC Round 2, “The General,” Washington, GA
With a phenomenal start to the season at Florida in the books, the Baylor Boys have carried that momentum to the Georgia “General” of the GNCC Series.
14-yr-old Grant Baylor took over the 250A Points Lead, as well as the Overall A Points Lead, after 2 rounds of racing. Grant finished an impressive 15th Overall on the day, taking 2nd in 250A after a heated battle with Yamaha rider, Aaron Plessinger. “I had a good day,” said G Baylor. “Reports are that I was actually overcalling the whole race at the second check of lap one. Unfortunately, I got stuck in a mud hole where I lost some time, but I managed to run a pace that would land me in the Top 15 for the day.”
Steward kept a pace that would secure the XC2 win, and is now 2 for 2 in the XC2 ProLites division, & owns 3rd Place in the Overall Points after Round 2. “The battle [between me and Jason Thomas] was intense. We were back and forth – it was kind of like skiing all day – it was sick.”
