Sunday Oct 7, 2012 Powerline Park GNCC, St. Clairsville OH Things are crazy at work, so this is one of those better late than never things… Powerline Park has always been good to us; there is some very challenging mud along with some well used hard pack that can be sketchy at speed… We got there early to walk around, check the mud pits to see how bad they were and what was safe to do. Ended up deciding to take the safe and consistent route, over the risky… Found a good pit location right next to the track after the finish line area. Never really warmed up, stayed around 50 degree with some intermittent sprinkles. The crowd was somewhat back to normal compared to Unadilla. His starting line rotation had him next to last line and next week he'll be last… Started with 17 bikes on the 4 Stroke B lites line… Another good hole shot… (I had my finger over the phone microphone) #88 on the left is Kyle Greer on a TC250 Setting up for corner #2 at the start... First lap thru he was running 3rd…top three within 20 seconds… The 2 front runners got out a little too far and Andy got off the pace. Even though I keep a pit board up with times he never was able to push back to the front. If he'd have kept it closer an opportunity presented itself around lap 4 when the leader plunked it into one of the mud holes. The leader had to dig himself out and stop for goggles/gloves… The course had it moments...He faded a little with each lap and finished 3rd…good ride overall.
