2008 WORCS
Racing Season Announcements
Pro Purses, Series Sponsorship,
Factory Involvement, Higher Contingency
Washington, UT (1/4/2008) - WORCS Racing
announced today 2008 Pro purses, series sponsorship
extensions & factory contingencies for the upcoming
2008 season. On Jan. 18th, 2008, Phoenix, AZ will
mark the opening round for the 2008 WORCS Racing
season. The Rocky Mountain ATV/MC WORCS Racing series
is proud to announce the 2008 season will have a
minimum guaranteed $7,000 Pro Bike purse at each
round along with a $10,000 purse for the Annual
Lake Havasu Spring Break race. ATV side will boast
an increased $4,000 guaranteed purse along with
an $8,000 at Lake Havasu Spring Break race.
“The rider participation along with the
growing numbers we saw in 2007 was a contributing
factor on our decision to up the payout for the
2008 season. The Annual Lake Havasu Pro payout
will be a minimum guaranteed $10,000 purse. The
riders and factories know that we have the premier
off-road venue locked in and I couldn’t
be happier to be able to offer this pay structure
and hope it will encourage many more Pros to get
involved in the west coast off-road scene.”
Sean Reddish- WORCS Racing
Along with Pro Purse increase WORCS Racing is
continuing to gain the factory respect by seeing
an increase in the 2008 factory contingency programs
that will be offered this season. Kawasaki was
the first to announce their 2008 Contingency with
an unbelievable $440,000.00 dollars; Honda is
coming in with an increased $105,950.00. Contingencies
are still unannounced for the Yamaha, Suzuki &
Maxxis payouts. Look for those to hit the press
very soon.
“I can’t believe the contingencies
these factories are offering. I mean we see it
every year in SX & MX, but for the companies
to finally step up into the off-road world, they
are about to see how many people actually ride
off-road and the increasing numbers in sales and
revenue that they will see half way through the
year and into 2009. I am very impressed with the
support WORCS Racing has received over the past
two years. It’s only going to get better
from here” Jason Reed- WORCS Racing.

we will bring the top off-road racers to there
