Kaska, PA - Did you ever hear the expression “I don’t know if I coming or going”? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately. In the past month after the holidays I have been running wide open preparing for the 2011 race season. I have bounced from California to Pennsylvania, then to Florida, then back to PA. Now I am getting ready to pack up and head to California for the first round of the WORCS series on January 23!

That’s right this season I will be competing in both the GNCC and the WORCS national circuits, just like I did in 2009. With only one round conflicting between the two series for 2011, I will be able to attend all races.

Now the big question...what am I riding? I will be on a Yokley Racing National Guard Honda TRX450R. I have a lot of sponsors carrying over from last year, but I picked up an additional title sponsor this year…Coastal Drilling. Coastal is the one responsible for making it possible to once again race in the WORCS series with them providing a ride for my ATV back an forth to all of the races out west.

I am in the process now of building my race quads for the upcoming GNCC and WORCS season. The WORCS series requires a totally different setup than I am used to running in the GNCC. It is more like a cross between a desert and a motocross setup, meaning I will be running 50 inches wide instead of the typical woods width 46-47 inches. I achieve the width with help from Roll Design a-arms and a RPM axle. Also I will be running longer EXIT shocks out West to soak up the harsh desert bumps at the high speeds we will be running. Pair up the suspension package with a Precision stabilizer and Vibe Clamp and your set for a smooth ride!

The WORCS races consist of a lot of sand and loose terrain meaning I would need some more power to be able to hang! Baldwin Motorsports has come onboard to help with engine mods, and Mark Baldwin is doing some headwork for me and giving me some tips on how to make a ton more power! I plan on getting that new power to the ground through a KG clutch, Tsubaki chain, and Kenda Tires paired with Tireballs and Douglas Wheels on both quads.

HMF Exhaust System

In the breathing department, I brought on board two new sponsors, K&N filters and HMF exhausts to keep everything clean and smooth flowing! We also are removing the electric starters and installing kickers to save weight and keep things simple, thanks to XCBOB.com.
