Perfection? Awesome? A slice of moto heaven? Finding the right words to describe the perfectly prepped Grunthal Centennial Raceway can be difficult, but one thing is certain and that is GCR’s dates on the schedule are as anxiously anticipated by MMA racers as Lorie Peters baked treats are by the MMA trailer staff. |

Hey can you loan a brother a four stroke? The conversation in the Brincheski household likely sounded something like the aforementioned question as Stuart Brincheski has parked his RM125 in favour of his injured brother Patrick’s RM-Z250. The four stroke obviously agrees with the younger Brincheski as he captured the 125 Junior Main event aboard it at GCR. Brincheski also took a podium with a Third place finish in the Supermini class. |
