Whibs has got a nice points lead now.
Wonder what happened to Rory. He was riding a 2 stroke today and wasn't far from the front on lap 2. Lap 3 took ages then he pulled out of the race but still got 11th which was a few points.

Whibs at Unadilla Rd last weekend. Gained more points over 2nd in the series

Although points leader Paul Whibley didn’t get the win, the veteran hasn’t lost sight of the big picture, which is a second GNCC championship. Whibley kicked off the afternoon by grabbing the $250 Motosport.com Holeshot Award before taking the early lead with Russell, DuVall and defending champ Charlie Mullins. The top four diced back and forth throughout the first half of the race but bad luck soon plagued the Factory FMF/KTM camp as Mullins lost rear brakes and was forced to return to the pits to change them out. Russell fell back a few positions after crashing on the motocross track on Lap 3, which opened the door for Kanney and Obermeyer Yamaha-backed Chris Bach, who were previously battling for the sixth place position, to make their way to the front.

“Thad and I were battling at the end and I broke my front brake lever on the last lap,” Whibley said. “There was no way I could keep up with Thad after that, he was riding really good, so I just chose to back it down and try to ride with him and make sure to get some good points. Second is not what I was wanting but we’ll take it.”
