Allie Shelman made WORCS Racing history
by qualifying for the Pro-Am Main Event
to race with her father, #9 TPQ's Tim Shelman,
as the first father & daughter to compete
together in the Pro & Pro-Am Main Event |
Track conditions at Speedworld MX were anything
but typical as rain showers were forecast for
the day. Rain had fallen overnight into the morning,
which made for a slick and muddy track, which
prompted the pros to decide against running the
normal parade lap to check out the track before
the start of the race. Getting out front early
was going to be crucial in the muddy conditions,
and veteran racer Dustin Nelson was well aware
of that as he lined up for the final WORCS pro
ATV race of the year.
