WORCS Racing Pro-Am
& WORCS X ATV Race Report
::Continued::
Can-Am Motoworks’ Dillon Zimmerman continued
to prove that not even a serious crash is enough
to hold him back. Zimmerman was second off the
line in the Pro-am Class and quickly took the
lead. Zimmerman held his lead all the way to the
checkered flag, finishing over a minute before
second place’s Mike Kelley, and two minutes
ahead of Joel Garlinghouse who claimed the final
spot on the Pro-am podium.

the summer break, but he didn't let it slow
him down as he secured yet another Pro-Am
Win |
Local
Olympia, Washington ATV Racer, Joel Garlinghouse,
secured the final spot on the Podium behind
Washington's Mike Kelley in 2nd Place |
Friday night’s WORCS X race proved to be interesting
as well as seven Pros made it to the final, including
WORCS series promoter, Sean Reddish. Unfortunately
for Reddish, he would suffer mechanical issues due
to the brutal track, which would cause him to DNF.

Borich lead the early charge in the WORCS
X over Dustin Nelson, but a derailed chain
ended his race early |
Yamaha's
Dustin Nelson held on to claim the WORCS
X Win on his Yamaha YFZ450R ATV |
Chris Borich would lead the PRO WORCS X race
for four laps until he snapped a chain, which
would allow Beau Baron to take the lead, but that
lead would be short lived as well as Baron would
get hung up on the partially buried van. Baron’s
misfortune would hand the win to Yamaha’s
Dustin Nelson, with Ryan Piplic following in second
and Josh Frederick taking third.

Piplic was one of the few racers that braved
the mini-van climb, and he finished an impressive
2nd place |
Amateur
Racer, Allie Shelman stole the show as he
battled her way to the B/C win on her MotoX
Raptor 250 |
The action should be intense at round seven,
which will be held at Glen Helen raceway on September
25-27. With only two rounds left in the 2009 WORCS
season, the Pro championship could come down to
the wire as Josh Frederick has vowed to give Beau
Baron a battle to the end as the pair duke it
out for the 2009 Pro title.
