Justin
Waters finished his best WORCS race in
the Pro class with a 10th overall |
Lake Havasu City, AZ (3/31/2009)
- After only six Pro starts, 19-year old Yamaha
rider Justin Waters continued his march up the
WORCS leaderboard, finishing his best-ever tenth
in last weekend's ATV Nationals in Lake Havasu
City, AZ.
With a strong start again this weekend - fourth
to the holeshot turn in a field of nearly 30
- Waters knew he had to ride strong, push himself
hard but also pace himself in the nearly 90-degree
heat, battling extremely rough, sandy conditions.
Suspension would be key.
"I just got my new Teixeira Tech A-arms
and it was the first time I really tried them
with my Fox Shox. We could have used some more
[practice] time."
But when the gun went off for Sunday's final
so did the Yamaha, and it was a solid result
at the end of the two hour event.

Justin Waters will be ready at WORCS round
4 in Milford, CA |
"I went out fast again. I knew some of the
riders behind me were strong enough to probably
come around me but it's also about staying ahead
of trouble as much as you can, so you can't just
let off. And I'm not going to just 'let' someone
around me anyway. If they are faster than me,
they're going to have to come take it."
"I did crash once - went off a jump next
to Timmy [Tim Shelman], but there was only enough
landing room for one of us, so I went off the
side of the landing. Got back on and going as
fast as I could. Didn't feel it when I did it,
but I guess I hamburgered my elbow pretty good.
Think I ruined my new MSR jersey!"
If the only thing Justin has to worry about
is a new jersey, he'll be in good shape for
the next round in Milford CA, the first weekend
of May.
