Bakersfield, CA (8/5/2015) - H&M Motorsports netted three victories and six combined podium finishes at Round 7 of the 2015 WORCS series held at Straddleline ORV Park in Olympia, WA. David Haagsma won both Pro ATV Races and the WORCS X Pro SxS event, while Beau Baron was second in both ATV races and earned another runner-up effort in the Side by Side Pro race.

This weekend’s race featured two points paying races for the pros with a special WORCS X round of racing held Saturday evening on a special Enduro-Cross course with tires, jumps, logs, and mud to challenge the racers in front of a large crowd of spectators.

In the WORCS X Pro ATV race, Haagsma snagged the holeshot at the start of Saturday’s ATV race and was never seriously challenged, leading all four laps of the event. “Everything was working great on the Elka/Sparks Honda,” said Haagsma of Saturday’s WORCS X race. “It was really slick out there. Everyone was looking for traction. But the Maxxis Tires were really hooking up. I am glad they added this round. It was a lot of points for such a short race, but it worked out great.

In Sunday’s race, Haagsma battled his way into the lead, rebounded from hitting a tree and held off Baron for the victory, his fifth in a row. In fact Haagsma hasn’t finished out of the top two in every Pro ATV race this season.

“There was a lot of action in this race,” said Haagsma of Sunday’s race. “This is not my forte. I am not comfortable in the trees at all, but the bike worked great and I just tried not to make mistakes. I thought Beau had me, but he seemed to have a mishap and I just cruised the final three laps. The Elka suspension and Maxxis Tires gave us a lot of traction through the corners that others didn’t have. They really made a difference in the race.”

Elka Suspension's David Haagsma also clinched the win in the WORCS Pro ATV Class extending his points lead over teammate Beau Baron by 10 points

Haagsma now owns a 10-point lead going into the next round at Glen Helen, but the title chase is far from over. “This is going to be a battle to the end,” explained Haagsma. “Beau is good at every race, so I’m not comfortable with my lead at all.”

Baron challenged Haagsma early in the WORCS X for the Pro ATV lead, holding onto second throughout the dusty event. “I got beat into the first corner and I squared him up after the log to take second,” said Baron of WORCS X race. “I had a pretty good race going, but David just ended up pulling away. I gave it everything I had and that was all I could do.

In the Pro ATV main event, Baron actually briefly took the lead when Haagsma hit a tree, but Haagsma quickly took back the lead and Baron held on to second.

“I was just behind David (Haagsma), but I got blasted in the face, I stalled my bike and, once I got it restarted, I just couldn’t make up the time,” said Baron of Sunday’s event. “Once I got some clean air in second, I had a lot of fun riding this course today. I lost some points this weekend, which is tough. David is getting really good at this and the last two races are going to be tough.”

Webster’s top five in Sunday’s race was the icing on the cake for the team. Webster struggled with the many pine trees around the course.

“I look forward to coming to this race, but I felt like I was dating some of the trees out there today,” joked Webster. “I spent a few times in trees and that didn’t really work out. This is not were I wanted to be, but I’ll take it going into Glen Helen.”

In Saturday’s Pro Side by Side WORCS Cross race, Haagsma battled Baron during the first lap, but took over the first spot for good when Baron got stuck in a mud hole. Baron bounced back in the second SXS race, finishing second. Haagsma currently sits second in Pro SXS points with Baron in fourth.
