For the first time ever, the WORCS series hosted the first Women’s Powder Puff SXS race. Jamie Piplic, wife of Ryan Piplic, spear headed the effort to get a women’s SXS race into the series and it was a huge success with 17 entries. The Women’s class ran a shortened course, but the competition was amazing and everyone had a great time.

“It was fun! I didn’t underestimate anyone but I pushed hard and took the win. I am used to racing with all the guys so it was nice to race with the girls for a change,” said Smith who races the Lucas Oil series.
Sara Price also put in a strong effort and claimed the second spot on the Women’s podium.
