Is GNCC Racing as Hard as They Say?

  • In This Week in MXA, episode 166, presented by O'Neal, Josh Mosiman lines up for the 2024 Big Buck GNCC race in the Sportsman A 25+ class on the brand new 2024 Yamaha YZ450FX cross-country bike. Yamaha told Josh that he should race the 2-hour sportsman race first, before going into the deep end of GNCC racing and signing up for the XC1 450 Pro class. Josh has raced WORCS, NGPC, the 24-Hours of Glen Helen, SRA and other West Coast off-road events, but this was his first taste of GNCC racing. Two hours in the trees of Union, South Carolina, is no joke, and Josh found that out quickly.

    Thanks for brining exposure to the gncc series. Two years ago i went to my first gncc at the John penton, and I’ve raced Moto my whole life, 30+A class… I haven’t raced a moto race since doing the penton. You get addicted to the suffering that comes with a gncc race and the atmosphere is like no other.

      I always tell my buddy’s it’s miserable fun. Iv raced GNCCs for 10+ years and last year I found my way into 6 hard enduros, you want to talk about next level suffering those are the final boss. Running the whole east coast hard enduro series this year to continue the pain.

    Its funny. I work at Yoshimura and we just made Stu Baylor's KX450 prototype exhaust for his program. I was seeing last season pop off and sorta got into it. After designing the Kawi pipe Im definitely much more into GNCC now. its pretty cool that all these extra GNCC videos are popping up just as I am starting to get into it.
    Good job MXA. yalls make me wanna race GNCC now

I got a degree at Cal Poly in mechanical engineering. These two passions combined with actually living close to Yoshi is what got me in. So in sense i created my own luck and took advantage when the opportunity was there.

    As someone who’s raced hare scrambles and GP, your fellow racers and the fans are your first responders when you go down. Twice over the years I’ve seen racers and fans performing CPR on someone who’s gone down. You have to understand, getting medics out to an accident is difficult. One instant took about 20 minutes. Someone has to get to an emt which is usually back at the pits. Then you have to show them where the incident took place which usually requires going against the race direction. And in a lot of spots a UTV isn’t going to fit so you have to double them out there with their gear. It is NO JOKE. Learn basic cpr as a racer because you’ll be the first on the scene of an incident and it may save someone’s life. We love the fans not only for the support but you’re the ones that help us racers when we go down. Response time in the woods is nothing like response time on a MX/SX track. Be safe.

    During covid the rules were relaxed and I raced NETRA 1 HR 30MIN sports man A/B in the am got second then B vet 2 hr moto in the afternoon to a 3rd
    Proud of that accomplishment and it was hot as hell
    Normally they don't let you do that so people don't do one lap in am pull off and have an advantage for the second race. I will admitt it was an advantage off the start with the dust knowing the trail. I was leading until last lap and I fell apart was so tired I barely hung on to 3rd
