his first start at the venue and continues
to be the top WORCS rookie, sitting sixth

pack to a to 9th place finish by the

The picturesque racing venue is known both
for its beauty and its toughness. This year’s
track was shorter than in years past. The
traditional deep sand whoops and rocks submerged
under the sand remained as did the roughness
the track is well known for.
Driving a naturally aspirated Polaris RZR
at a track that gives turbocharged cars a
distinct advantage, Heidler recorded a clean
and consistent result on what is arguably
WORCS most difficult track. He got a great
start and held strong in the top ten all race.
“Running a NA car against the turbos was
tough here,” said Heidler. “This is my first
time here and the track was fun. The Fox shocks
soaked up a lot of stuff because there were
a lot of rocks out there.”

Tireblocks for getting him to the finish
line with a top ten finish, which currently
has him 6th in the points championship |
The deep sand on the track here hides much
more dangerous obstacles: sharp rocks. He
took several hard hits from the rocks, but
his Raceline wheels and GBC Tires with Tireblocks
helped him to the finish.
“The Tireblocks are a big reason I finished
the race,” said Heidler. “I hit several submerged
rocks hard and the Tireblocks helped hold
everything together. I ran the 29” GBC Dirt
Commanders here. They got me a good start.”
Heidler, who has experienced several issues
with his car early in the season, is happy
to score a clean finish. In fact, at the last
WORCS race, he spent hours tracking down issues
with his car. Despite the difficulties, the
hard work paid off with no issues here. He
will be unveiling a new Polaris at the next
race.
“We finally got all of the bugs worked out
of the car today,” said Heidler. “I have a
new car coming for the next round, so we’ll
see what happens.”
Heidler will be back in action May 19-21
during the next round of WORCS competition
at Iron Mine Racepark in Cedar City, UT.
