Tempe, AZ (4/2/2015) -
Pro Motorsports’ Matt Hancock finished
third in the SxS Unlimited class at round four
of the 2015 WORCS series in Lake Havasu, AZ
and also claimed second in Open A ATV class,
while Jeff Hancock rounded out the top five
in the Pro ATV class.
Rough conditions and hot temperatures were
on hand for the weekend’s races at Lake Havasu,
AZ but Matt and Jeff Hancock were both up
to the challenging weekend of racing.
For Saturday’s SxS races, Matt Hancock had
a good run in the SxS Unlimited class with
a third place finish. “I ran the turbo Maverick
in the Unlimited class, and it was crazy fast.
It was really rough out there though so you
had to be careful, but overall we had a good
race and I am happy with a third place finish,”
said Hancock.

In the Pro SxS class, Hancock was on the
second row for the start and was in mid pack
heading into the second lap. “I came into
this race knowing a lot of people were going
to break, so finishing was really important,
and the Maverick did just that,” said Hancock.

Hancock drove smart and stayed focused through
the tough race and claimed a seventh place
finish at the checkered flag. “Some of the
guys that were ahead of me in points, broke
out there, so that put me up in about fifth
in points, and I am happy about that,” said
Hancock.
In the ATV classes, Matt Hancock was looking
strong in the Open A class as got out to the
early lead by grabbing the Holesot. “My Maxxis
Tires hooked up and I had a great start. It
was one of the roughest races we have had,
but my Elka shocks and Roll Design suspension
worked great. I tried to find good lines and
I was able to pull away from the rest of the
pack,” said Hancock, who claimed a second
place finish by over a minute ahead of the
rest of the pack.

Hancock set a good pace and battled back
and forth for the first couple of laps. Hancock
was pushing hard and finished in fifth place
at the checkered flag. “It was really rough
out there, but my Pro Motorsports quad ran
great, and I was able to finish the race.
It’s not what I wanted, but next round I’m
going for the win,” said Hancock.
Jeff Hancock came into this round without
having the advantage of getting in any practice
before hand and suffered the consequences
on the lagoon jump. “The first time I hit
the jump, I hit it as hard as I could. The
next time I tried it a gear lower and flat
landed. I gave up after that and just went
around,” said Hancock, who injured his wrist
in the process.

Despite the injury, Hancock continued on
and still had a solid race and a good finish
as he rounded out the top five in the Pro
class. “It was rough out here ten years ago
when I was racing and it’s still just as rough
now, so I am just glad I finished. I have
to thank Pro Motorsports for putting together
such a good quad for me. It handled everything
out there,” said Hancock.
Round five of the 2015 WORCS series heads
to Sand Hollow in Hurricane, UT on April 18-19th.
