Honolulu Hills has been the ending round of the series for the past years and is commonly very dusty. However, that would not be the case this year as the mountain sides were green, weather was great and dusty conditions were very low. The track was very high speed, a mix of some motocross, huge jumps, high speed and tight technical sections.
Doug Roll and Erik Westergaard from Roll Design/Elka Service Center were trackside to help out with the challenging setups needed for the track conditions. Roll/Elka Service Center track support rig was also onsite for the 2011 WORCS ATV season to assist riders’ setup their quads for the race (on any Roll Design or Elka Suspension equipped quads). Elka Suspension newly released Stage 5 hocks can also be seen on Dustin Nelson’s Yamaha GYTR YZF450R.

Nelson would quickly take the second spot during the 1st lap of the Main Event as he chased down the leader Can-Am rider Jeremie Warnia (#62), followed by last years WORCS Champion Josh Frederick (#1). Uncontested for most of the race, Nelson would clip a banner on the last lap which closed the gap back to 3rd Position. Losing his 10
second gap over 3rd Place would setup a last lap battle to the checkers between himself and Frederick. Nelson held off Frederick claiming the 2nd Place spot for the opening round of the WORCS ATV season.
“The Elka Stage 5’s and Roll Suspension worked great, I can’t thank them enough!”-Exclaimed Nelson after the race.
