Letter from Sean Reddish
The WORCS anniversary tour is almost 1/3 over and it has been exciting to date. Taylor Robert is undefeated as a pro wining the last round of 2009 and the first of 2010 all that even with a blown ACL on the third lap at Speed World, Special “K” Kurt Caselli let everyone know he was back in the deep sand of Primm and Dietrich found his moto speed for Havasu and never really looked back. Two Lake Havasu wins in a row, not bad. That is what makes WORCS so good. There are a number of real contenders each week that will be in the mix but consistency and stamina will win the ultimate prize. Speaking of consistency, WORCS Bike Week is coming up soon and the first Cycle News advertisement will come out this week with details of the event. After last years participation I can not wait to see what happens in 2010. This really is a great way to see who is the best overall off road racer out there and I am excited to crown this years WORCS Bike Week National Champions. The Hare Scrambles portion of the week event will be a Saturday and Sunday event. There will be activities to do during the week and most likely an industry golf tournament on Monday after the first weekend. RC Car and Bicycle races looks to be on the schedule and a general good time should be had by all.
After Havasu the scoring system and online web reporting are going great. It has really lived up to the expectation I had. The biggest issue now is racers just not charging their purchased transponders 10 hours Thursday or Friday prior to the race weekend like the directions state. If you leave the transponder in the charging cradle it will stay idle while driving down the road and this will ensure long battery life for the weekend. Once it is charged there should be no need to charge it again for the race weekend. We really appreciate your help with this. If they are not charged, the live timing is off, the result take longer to produce, and after Rnd 6 if they are not charged and do not read you will not be scored in the event. It is really easy for us to see the charge state and how long they were charged, so please do your part and keep the live web results accurate and the scoring girls happy. There is a new LCD live results viewing screen on the WORCS semi for everyone to see the live action as well. We hope to implement a few more of these around the pits in the future.
Honey Lake is coming up soon and I really hope every one gets a chance to come out and race what I feel is the model WORCS track. Tough, fun and full of great stories to take home. We will see you at Adelanto and next onto Honey Lake.
