2017 Beech Mountain Pro GRT: Day 2, More Practice and Seeding
Day 2 of the Beech Mountain Pro GRT started like the day before as a 50/50 day of weather. 50% of the day was going to be sunny and the other 50% was going to be raining. As our friend Eric Wever (Pisgah Produtions) would say "There's a 100% chance of weather today. We're in the mountains. It's going to do something somewhere."
Slippy sloppy day of Qualifying here at Beech Mountain Resort for Pro GRT #3 here in North Carolina!
Mauricio Estrada, Angelina Palermo, & Titus Nicholson went fastest - it got loose, check out the extras.
Starting on the Cat 2 and 3 course, here's what we saw...
