Apex Congratulates Jay Shadron for his GNCC Victory

GNCC Round #3 took place this last weekend in Morgantown, NC at Steele Creek.   Jay was 1st in his class (12-15 90cc Limited) and beat out 65 other youth racers to get a 3rd overall podium finish!   Jay finished over 2 minutes faster than the 2nd place bike in his class!  Jay got the holeshot and maintained the lead until the end.  He reports that the track was very rough with hills and creeks.  Jay also reports that he is happy to have his Apex GNCC edition quad with the airbox to keep water out!  Apparently this made a big difference for him at this race!  Fantastic job Jay!!  Keep up the 1st place finishes!

Apex Pee Wee Riders Take Top 2 Spots in 50cc class 

This weekend at Racetown 395 in Adelanto,  California there were some real cute faces on the podium!  Two of the Apex Pee Wee Riders took top spots in the 50cc (4-6 yr old) class.  First place went to Hunter Schumacher #199, on his cool looking Apex.  Second Spot went to Aidan Cash #23 on his Apex.  Third spot went to Luke Sorter, whose brothers all ride Apex.  Luke is riding a LEM in the 50 class, I wonder if he will be bugging his dad for his own Apex.  read on ...

Ace Meade aka "fly'in ace", #911 submitted ... "In NY mini quads are considered "expatriation" only so their are no points. Ace has 1st in heat at every track in district 3 and place 1st-3rd at all but two races last year, all 3rd or worse weekend were due to mechanical failure. With back to back 1st at session end last year, and the new apex learning curve behind us he is sure to be a dominating force in the up-coming session. Starting in conn. this weekend. THANK YOU Scott "
