Las Vegas, NV (4/2/2015) – Art Works / Goldspeed Tires’ Ty Sanders braved the rough conditions at the Crazy Horse WORCS in Lake Havasu, AZ and claimed top ten finishes in both the Pro-am ATV and Production A classes at round four of the 2015 WORCS series.

Lake Havasu is known for its tough conditions, but for round four of the WORCS series, it was particularly hot and rugged, and Ty Sanders unknowing was also dealing with gall bladder stones, which added to the challenge.

In the Pro-am class, Sanders was in second off the start was charging hard, but a crash the day before started to take a toll on him. “I had a really good start and I near the front, but I started locking up from the get-off I had the day before and I dropped back,” explained Sanders.

Sanders fell back to tenth place, but a final push gave him two more positions for an eighth place finish. “It was a rough day, and it was hot, but it all worked out. We are testing some new Goldspeed tires and they bit like no other tires I have ever used and I was really happy with them. They helped a lot out there today,” said Sanders, who is currently fifth in series points.

During the Production A class race, Sanders had a good start in the number two spot. Sanders held that position for two laps, but them he came into a corner too hot and high-sided the berm. “That put me back down to about fifth, but I got back up and kept going. Then it happened again in the same corner on the next lap. It took a while for me to get my quad kicked over, and I kind of hurt my back a bit between my shoulders, so I started stiffening up,” said Sanders.

Despite the get-offs, Sanders still rounded out the top ten in the Production A class. “This was the roughest track so far this year, but it was still a good time. The fans along the shore were awesome; they would cheer every racer that came by and that’s a good feeling,” said Sanders.

Round five of the 2015 WORCS series heads to Sand Hollow in Hurricane, UT on April 17-19, and Ty Sanders is hoping to be healed up and ready to go for a WORCS podium finish.
