The opening rounds of the WORCS Series was
run as a special doubleheader event with a
short course race on Saturday and traditional
off road racing on Sunday. Overall finish
was determined from both races. Weather played
havoc with the event. Friday’s qualifying
was rained out and starting positions were
set by a random draw. Saturday’s race was
run under blue skies with warm temperatures.
Winter weather returned on Sunday with sleet,
rain and frigid temperatures.
Bulloch took the lead early in Saturday’s
race and was untouchable. In Sunday’s race
Bulloch was hit by a competitors while leading.
Though the resulting crash tore an A-arm out
of his Polaris RZR, he held on to finish sixth.

“Saturday was awesome,” said Bulloch. “We
got out front early and never looked back.
In the second race, I was on the inside in
some mud and I got hit really hard from both
the side and from behind. Even with the lower
A-arm ripped out of the frame, I was able
to drive pretty well. I got some good speed
on the last two laps.”
Bulloch starts 2017 second in Pro Stock points.
After a breakout season last year, Bulloch
has one goal this year: win the Pro Stock
championship.

Overall for the weekend |
“We’re going for a championship this year
so to go out there with a broken A-arm and
finish second overall in Pro Stock, I’m pretty
happy in the end,” said Bulloch. “Racing has
ups and downs, but we know how to run out
front and we want to do that all year.”
WORCS is a family sport and the Bulloch family
is all in. Ray Bulloch’s sons Stockton and
Skyler both recorded victories during the
weekend. Skyler Bulloch finished second overall
in the SXS Youth 800 Production after finishing
third in the short course race and first in
Sunday’s event.

For the elder Bulloch, family is what this
sport is all about. He said it best a few
weeks ago when the family was competing in
a Best in the Desert Race.
“The future is there with these kids,” said
Ray Bulloch. “We actually turned down some
offers to run in other series because WORCS
is so family oriented. I’m not here for myself…I’m
here for my family. These kids are the future
of our sport.”
The Bulloch family will be back on track,
and in the front of their respective classes,
when the WORCS series heads to Honolulu Hills
Raceway in Taft, CA February 17-19.
