The Big Buck Raceway, located in Union, South Carolina, was home to Round 2 of GNCC UTV racing action. Thousands of spectators and hundreds of racers were in attendance. The red clay track was extremely dusty at the beginning of the race, making visibility a real issue, but thanks to our Fly helmets and goggles, the KR4 drivers’ eyes were protected from the elements. The weather was awesome for this race; 80 degrees and sunny.The track was challenging and very rough, but thankfully all four of our machines are equipped with Summers Brothers Axles, so broken axles were not an issue for the KR4 Team, unlike many other race buggies. As the green flag dropped, the KR4-backed #591 buggy of driver Pat McGuire and special guest co-driver Steven Rice (from the internet talk show Seat Time) darted to the front of the 3rd row and set their sights on the Top 10 XC1 veterans.
