WORCS Racing - Lake Havasu
ATV Race Report
::Continued::
Without a starting gate, it is always a dead
engine start at Lake Havasu, and Robbie Mitchell
grabbed the holeshot, and he was followed closely
by David Haagsma and a fierce battle began. “My
Maxxis Tires hooked up and I was second off the
line, and I got blasted with rocks. I had a couple
chances to pass, but Robbie was riding really
good. I almost wadded myself up on a table top
when I jumped next to him and landed off the side
of the jump. I thought my race was over,” said
Haagsma.

Luckily, Haagsma was able to come out of the
mishap. Haagsma kept charging and soon made the
pass on Mitchell. “I was finally able to get by
on an inside turn and was able to pull off the
win,” said Haagsma who claimed his first win of
the season, and his win moved Haagsma within two
points of Beau Baron in the WORCS Pro ATV championship

LMR Racing’s Robbie Mitchell, who has been a
busy man since the last round with him getting
married to BreAnn on March 7th, which was exciting
news for the great couple, but Mitchell was ready
for the brutal Lake Havasu race, and he got off
to a great start by grabbing the holeshot “My
engine fired right up and I got the holeshot.
David and I were really battling and when we came
into the second lap and we hit that table top,
I thought he was going to die when he landed half
way off the jump. I had to look back and make
sure he was ok,” said Mitchell.

Mitchell held off Haagsma for a little while
longer before Haagsma got by. Despite falling
back to second, Mitchell stayed close and claimed
a solid second place finish. “This is my fourth
straight podium finish and I am really happy with
that. I didn’t get to train as much as I wanted
for this round, but it all worked out for me,”
said Mitchell.

Duncan Racing’s Garrin Fuller put in a strong
effort and earned his first ever Pro podium finish.
“My Duncan engine got me off to a great start
and Doug Roll hooked me up with my Elka suspension
and it worked great out there, even in the waist
high whoops,” said Fuller.

Fuller battled with Mitchell and Haagsma for
the first three laps and tried to make a move
on Haagsma for the number two spot. “I showed
him a wheel, but he wasn’t going to budge. I just
tried to stay close and I finished on the podium.
It’s been a long time coming and I couldn’t be
happier,” said Fuller, who had his own private
cheering section out on the sand bar.
