2015 WORCS ATV Racing Round #7 - Straddleline ORV August 2, 2015 Olympia, WA

Maxxis’ Beau Baron said the course was fun and he’s looking forward to the championship coming down to the wire. “I was just behind David (Haagsma), but I got blasted in the face, I stalled my bike and, once I got it restarted, I just couldn’t make up the time,” said Baron. “Once I got some clean air in second, I had a lot of fun riding this course today. I lost some points this weekend, which is tough. David is getting really good at this and the last two races are going to be tough.”

Maxxis' Beau Baron finished in the second spot, which now has him 10 points behind David Haagsma heading into the final two rounds

Mitchell was pleased with his third-place finish. “I struggled,” admitted Mitchell. “For the most part, the lappers were really good at getting out of the way. But a lapped bike took the good line in the Enduro cross section and I didn’t want to risk it, so I slowed up and David took the lead. I’m really happy right now. I felt good at the end. I felt like I could have gone another hour, so I’m ready for the next one.”

EXIT's Robbie Mitchell claimed the final spot on the Podium

Duncan Racing’s Garrin Fuller returned from a three-month break to heal a shoulder injury. Fuller wasn’t a fan of the trees here and rebounded from hitting one of the many pines surrounding the course to finish fourth.

“My shoulder feels a lot better. It’s not really affecting my riding; I’m just trying to get a little more endurance out of it,” said Fuller. “On the first lap, I got caught in David (Haagsma’s) dust, got off course, hit a tree and rolled down the mountain. I put my head down and came away with fourth. It just shows that you never give up. The Duncan Motor was fresh for this race and we had brand new shocks from Elka. I don’t like trees. The only thing I can come away with is that I didn’t hit a tree…more than once!”

H&M Motorsports’ Collins Webster, too, had his own love affair going with the local foliage. “I look forward to coming to this race, but I felt like I was dating some of the trees out there today,” said Webster. “I spent a few times in trees and that didn’t really work out. This is not where I wanted to be, but I’ll take it going into Glen Helen.”

“TPQ” Tim Shelman came out of retirement after two years to compete at his local track, and he put in a great effort to score a sixth place finish.
