This year round three of WORCS was held in Lake Havasu, which was last year’s opening round. The skies were cloudy and it started to drizzle. Just when everyone was expecting the worst, the rain didn’t materialize, but the temperatures did get pretty low and continued to drop as the day progressed. The last day of racing was some what better with sunshine poking through the clouds.
As the Pros lined up for Production Class race, we notice there were many missing regulars like Team Temecula Motorsports Mike Cafro and Levi Marana. The two were in Mexico Racing the San Felipe 250. Another rider everyone was asking about was Pro point’s leader Josh Frederick. Come to find out Josh was also down in Mexico racing his factory Bombardier Outlander 800 in the SCORE race. He then had planned to fly into Arizona to race the Utility Class, which he didn’t make. Josh arrived just in time to catch the ending laps of the Open Pro race where he rode a couple of laps to work out any possible bugs with his new machine.
In the end Doug Eichner took the pro and the point’s lead. Check out the photos and captions for more….
Duncan Racing’s Doug Echiner ran a couple laps in the Open Pro Class and then pulled off the track to conserve his energy for the pro class.
Robbie Mitchell had a great weekend taking a forth in the Pro Production and third in Sunday’s Pro Class
John Shafe ended up third in the Open Pro class.
The birth of a new kind of ATV racing is born!
The newly added Rhino Class was a sight to see. These guys, Oh yeah and gals, put on one hell of a show.
To only fall victim to engine failure, fellow racer David Lindsay showed true sportsmanship and helped Josh Frederick off the track and into the pits. Josh would later push his bike across the finish to salvage series points. Frederick came into round three with the point’s lead, after his misfortune he now dropped a position to second.
As you can see Open Pro Class winner Brandon Brown was on the gas and charging.
