Linkon Leaverton Continues Success at Havasu WORCS
Cody Bradbury & Linkon Leaverton WORCS Round 4 Report

Nuevo, CA (3/31/2016) - Team Bradco’s Linkon Leaverton scored a pair of victories and a second-place finish during the doubleheader WORCS weekend at Lake Havasu, AZ. Teammate Cody Bradbury suffered issues in the Pro and Pro Unlimited Side by Side races.

Leaverton earned his third and fourth victories in a row in SXS Youth 700 Production. Driving a bone-stock Arctic Cat, Leaverton dominated both races.

“I just got the holeshot and didn’t look back at all,” said Leaverton of the Youth races. “The track was rough, and wet in spots, but it was fun. The Arctic Cat people had my car running great. I’m just stoked and super happy with how we’re doing.”

Leaverton also finished second in the SXS 700 Production adult class race after brake problems forced him out of the lead.

“I had to run that race with no brakes, so I wasn’t able to keep the lead,” said Leaverton. “It was really rough in that race. There were lots of holes everywhere and rocks.

“Arctic Cat, D&P Performance, Raceline Wheels, GBC Tires, Gates Belts, and Bradco Construction are the reason I’m here,” added Leaverton. “They’re all behind this successful effort.”

Bradbury had problems with the fans on his rides in both Pro SXS races. He retired early from the Pro Unlimited race with overheating problems.

“The car just overheated after the fan stopped working,” said Bradbury. “Havasu is a fairly slow track and it was really hot here. With the temperature at 93 and no fans, there is no way to get air into the radiator. I was down by the lake and we were shoveling water on top of the radiator to try to get it to cool down, but we just overheated and had to stop.”

Bradbury suffered similar issues in the Pro Class race. While driving through the field after fixing a broken axle, his fan stopped working again.

“I was settled in into fourth, and we broke a brand new axle,” said Bradbury. “I came out a lap down, got past some people and got back on the lead lap. The car just started overheating on the last two laps. The fan stopped working. I got points, but not as much as I wanted. We’ll work on the fan issue and we’ll have it sorted out for the next race.”

The Bradco Team will be back in contention as WORCS heads to Sand Hollow in Utah, April 15-17.
