WORCS MC Olympia Hare Scrambles
August 30th, 2010
Back On Top, and Fighting to Stay There
Story and Photos by: Bryan Grey
This years edition of WORCS Week in Olympia, WA kicked off with a weekend of Hare Scrambles racing in the woods surrounding Straddleline ORV Park. Tall old growth timbers, tree roots, rocks and a bit of mud challenged the racers as they navigated their way through the tight course built by the WORCS staff. Unlike a typical WORCS weekend, the racers had the added challenge of dead engine starts, longer laps, and they rode very little of the motocross track. Read the rest of this entry »

WORCS ATV Round 7 Pro Report by Justin Waters
August 13th, 2010WORCS ATV PRO REPORT- Round 7 Straddleline WA
Story by: Justin Waters (WORCS ATV PRO Racer)
In 2008, Josh Frederick was able to clinch the WORCS ATV Pro Championship even after getting a DNF at the final round. In 2009, Beau Baron only needed to finish in the top 10 to win the championship and take the #1 plate away. In 2010, with only two rounds of competition left, Frederick and Baron are separated by only 2 points. The title this year is likely going to come down to who can beat who in the final two rounds! This past weekend in Washington for round number 7, Baron was able to pull away with the win and make the battle that much closer. Read the rest of this entry »
Jeff Stambaugh Race Report – Staddleline WA
August 13th, 2010
The stator went out in the race Rhino this past weekend. It was not running well for practice and on Saturday, a friend of mine helped me out immensely by tearing into the motor to see what was the problem while I was out sweeping. After calling every bike shop within 75 miles, I was out of luck for finding a stator. What to do? I put the blue Rhino through its paces and managed a podium spot. You never know what can happen in a race! Read the rest of this entry »

QUAD FMX : PROGRESSING THE LIMITS

Freestyle motocross is about progression. There is always something to improve on or a new trick to learn and I’ve yet to meet anyone that is perfect every time out. Even Caleb Moore, one of today’s top freestyle riders admits his backflip needs a little polishing. The best riders in the world will tell you it’s not a matter of if you’ll crash, but when.

It’s great to see that WORCS has gained their attention, hopefully we’ll see more of them come out here in the future.

Walsh Race Craft & Jeremy Laswson 3rd Overall at GNC round 8 PVR
July 16th, 2010
Jeremy was on a brand new LT-R450 we had just finished assembling on Thursday around midnight, just in time to leave for the race.
This weekend started off just like most of our weekends. Saturday practice went well, we tuned the quad and got ready for Sunday morning qualifying. Sunday morning went well, but nothing special, as Jeremy finished the practice in 9th place. However this would prove nothing.
Moto One: At the drop of the gate things didn’t look so well as Jeremy had a terrible reaction off the sticky concrete at PVR. However, he was lined up on the inside and snuck into 5th place around the 1st corner! Within a few laps he caught up to Cody Gibson and quickly passed him for the 4th place position. Joe Byrd was in 3rd place at this time and Jeremy was focused on moving forward. Within a few more laps Jeremy caught and had a little battle with Byrd, Jeremy tried to pass Byrd in an off camber Read the rest of this entry »
