WORCS GLEN HELEN DOUBLE HEADER

SEPTEMBER 25-26

WORCS Round 7 & 8 Glen Helen, September 25-26. A brutal weekend of racing was ahead of us as we prepared for a double header. A very demanding aspect to keep our bikes and riders fresh for two days. To add more to the variables, WORCS added in a treacherous pro section that would test the equipment and riders abilities to the max.

MASON OTTERSBERG

ROUND 7 - DNF

 ROUND 8 - 3RD 

  250 PRO  

Mason found himself running in third 3/4 of the way through Saturdays pro race and put over a minute on 4th place and with a 1/4 lap left suffered a mechanical that forced a DNF. Fortunately we had a spare bike to use for that reason and he was able to get going early on during Sundays race and found himself running third on the first lap. WORCS then decided to red flag the race and start over and pull the pro section out because to many people were stuck. The restart didn't aid in his favor to much as he ran 6th most of the race until the end where he was able to make up the time he needed to get into third place.

In his words: "Not the most ideal weekend, but it was not the worst either. First DNF of the season and was able to land on the box for the second day. Counting my blessing and appreciate what I was able to do. Ready to keep working and focus forward."

JUSTIN SEEDS

ROUND 7 - 2ND

 ROUND 8 - 2ND 

VET PRO 

Justin rode hard, but just didn't have the edge he needed to secure a first. Another great battle of the vets to start the mornings off and we certainly enjoy the entertainment.

In his words: "1st day wasn’t a very good day for me. I was fighting to find energy all day and just didn’t have anything for Robby after the first lap. Day two was definitely better amd I was feeling good up until I tried to beat a lapper to the corner and at the last second I realized I wasn’t going to make the pass and instead of taking him out I decided to take my self out into the fence loosing the lead and having to finish with yet another second place finish"

TYLER LYNN

ROUND 7 - 5TH

 ROUND 8 - 7TH 

PRO 

Tyler has had a bit of bad luck lately with some small nagging injuries, but he is overcoming them. Despite the injuries, he isn't quitting and keeps fighting to be on the track whatever the outcome is. Some solid finishes for him this weekend. 

In his words: "Solid weekend all in all. Saturdays pro race got off to a decent start and was in the back of the pack before getting to the pro section. The pro section this weekend really played well in my favor and I was able to get through it cleanly most laps and make some good passes and make up some good time. I would eventually make my way up to 5th for the finish of Saturday’s race. Sunday’s pro race seemed to be the same scenario as the day before with the pro section helping me out and I was feeling great on the bike running 5th again with a good gap to 6th until they red flagged the race. They would take out the pro section and that changed the whole dynamic of the race. I would end up finishing 7th at the end of day. Can’t complain and excited for the next one. Thanks to everyone for the support for 2021"

THOMAS DUNN

ROUND 7 - 7TH

 ROUND 8 - 7TH 

PRO 250  

Thomas was consistent with 7-7 finishes and continues to learn where the pace is right now in the 250 class. It is more competitive than ever and the demand for speed is high. His progression is fantastic so far. 

In his words: "Race report. Saturday got a bad start and made a few passes on the first lap. Got stuck in the rocks for way to long and had to try and catch up the rest of the race finishing 7th. Sunday was interesting. Got off to another bad start but worked my way into 5th before they red flagged the race. After the restart nothing changed on the start and I worked my way up to 7th and stayed there the rest of the race. Just need to be better. Get to try again next weekend at NGPC. Thanks to everyone who supports the team and gets us to the races!"

AVA SILVESTRI

ROUND 7 - 4TH

 ROUND 8 - 3RD  

WOMEN'S PRO

Ava struggled Saturday to find the speed to land on the podium, but she took that as fuel for Sunday and turned it around to get third. She also qualified for the pro-am race and competed in that for the extra practice. Slowly but surely she is finding her pace.

In her words: "Round 7 and 8 of WORCS is done and dusted. Saturday was rough for me since I put myself in a bad position being 30 seconds behind 2nd and 3rd after the first lap. I was able to make up some time but it wasn’t enough to seal the deal to make it on the podium so we finished with a 4th. Sunday came around and I felt better mentally even though I was a little bit drained physically from the day before, but I put that in the back of my mind. Got a great start which of course put me in a great position and was battling all race for 3rd place and finally put the pass on 3rd to seal the deal and finish out with another podium! Was also able to qualify for my first pro race which is awesome and finally showing what I can do. Ready to knock the next few races out and get ready for the new year!"
