his 2nd Straight WORCS Pro ATV Podium
finish at Round 5 of the Pro Class |
The event is unique on the WORCS schedule
in that the circuit comprises sections both
inside the casino’s arena and outside in the
parking lots. Featuring changing surfaces
that included hard-packed dirt, asphalt, logs,
tractor tires and even a big air jump, Webster
credited his Goldspeed tires for the successful
run.
“The Goldspeed Tires were definitely up
to the challenge today,” said Webster. “With
all of the different surfaces, it was key
to have a tire that worked everywhere, and
the Goldspeed Tires were perfect today.”
Webster also credited changes made to his
PEP suspension. With no data coming into the
event, Webster made changes based on the two
laps he had in practice.

“We had two laps of practice and it was soft
and rolling,” said Webster. “I called Jaimie
and Wayne from Pep and made some shock and
tire pressure adjustments, which really made
a big difference.”
Webster is hoping that troubles early in
the season are behind him now. Webster switched
to a Yamaha this year and has been adjusting
to the new ride all season.
“We had a rough start, but it’s turning around,”
said Webster. “We had to learn the bike setup;
I’ve been riding a different brand for so
many years and it’s tough to learn the new
bike. But we’re getting better and better.”
Webster came into the event without having
ridden since the last race in Havasu. A podium
finish was made sweeter by doing it front
of hometown friends and family.

has boosted him to just two points behind
3rd Place in the Pro ATV Points |
“I was racking my brain all day because I
haven’t ridden since the last race,” said
Webster. “So I was jittery. After all of that,
it feels good to podium in my hometown. I’ve
always done well in Sand Hollow, so it should
be a pretty good race.”
Webster will install Goldspeed sand tires
for the next race, one of his favorites among
the events on the WORCS calendar.
“I’ve always done well in Sand Hollow, so
it should be a pretty good race,” said Webster.
“We’ll be running sand tires for the first
time so that should definitely give us an
edge.”
Webster will be back in action as WORCS heads
to Sand Hollow in Hurricane, UT April 21-23.
