- Goldspeed Tires’ Collins
Webster finished fifth in the WORCS Pro ATV
race at Sand Hollow State Park in St. George,
UT. Webster now sits fourth in points, only
five points out of the lead.
Sand Hollow is unique on the WORCS circuit
in that it combines deep sand, jagged rocks
and hard pack on the same course. Webster
ran Goldspeed’s Sand Tire and it worked in
every area of the challenging track.

him, which currently has him 4th in

“The bike was working great,” said Webster.
“We were great tire wise and the tires definitely
gave us an edge. When I got into the deep
stuff on the back of the track, I barely needed
to try. Goldspeed Sand Tires hooked up really
well in the sand and it worked well on the
hard pack.”
Webster was challenging at the front of the
pack when bad luck struck. Webster figured
out a fueling issue quickly and got back on
track for the top five.
“I didn’t want to push too hard because the
track was a little sketchy,” said Webster.
“I had a few opportunities, but I was trying
to wear the leader down. My vent hose was
plugged and the bike vapor locked. I opened
up the fuel cap, pushed it in and the bike
fired.”
Webster is happy to see his season starting
to turn around. Despite early issues, he sits
well in range for a championship run. Only
five points separate the top four in the championship
chase, so one race could easily put Webster
into first.
“It’s been a good season,” said Webster.
“We’re battling for podiums now. The PEP suspension
is great, the engine is there, and the tires
are good…everything is where it should be.
Other than some unforeseen circumstances,
we’re doing OK.”
Webster will return to the WORCS Series May
19-21 when it heads to Iron Mine Racepark
in Cedar City, UT.
