Grant Mitchell finishes 2nd in the Open
A Class at Buffalo Bill's WORCS |
Primm, NV (2/14/2014) - GMR
Racing's Grant Mitchell had a great weekend
at round two of the 2014 WORCS Racing Series.
Taking a second in Open A and rounding out the
top five in the Pro-Am class, he is excited
to gain some valuable points in defending his
Pro-Am WORCS Racing Championship.
In the Open A Class, Mitchell proved that he
is a front runner as his incredible lap times
proved his speed and skill. During the race,
Mitchell was able to maintain a steady and consistent
speed. Without any issues and with his Sparks
Racing Honda working flawlessly, he raced his
was across the finish line in second place.
"I felt good, but I would have rather
won, but it was still a solid finish, and it's
a long season," Mitchell said in regards
to second place finish in the Open A Class.
In the WORCS Racing Pro Am race, Mitchell came
off the line in the sixth spot. Charging early
in the race, Mitchell quickly moved into the
third place position, which he held for the
majority of the race, but with the race length
extended to two hours for round 2, the extra
laps didn’t work in Mitchell’s favor.

In the final three laps, Mitchell dropped back
to the fifth spot, which he held to the checkered
flag to round out the top five and gain some
valuable points in the pro-am class championship
race. “The change to two hours, definitely got
me. It was a longer race than what I was prepared
for, but my quad worked awesome with the Roll
/ Elka Suspension, and my Maxxis tires were
hooking up great,” said Mitchell on his Pro-Am
finish.
Although it was not the finish he was hoping
for, Mitchell still added some solid finishes
to the 2014 WORCS championship races in both
the Pro Am and the Open A Class.
While his machine ran great and he felt strong,
Mitchell is looking forward to moving on to
round three of the WORCS Series in Lake Havasu
City, AZ as he goes for a podium finish in both
the Open A and Pro-Am Class.
