/ Can-Am DS450 ATV Racers Compete in WORCS &
SCORE Series
Valcourt, Québec (3/23/2012)
– Team Motoworks / Can-Am racers Josh Frederick
and Dillon Zimmerman finished on the Pro class podium
at round three of the World Off Road Championship
Series (WORCS) race in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. Frederick
won his second straight WORCS event and Zimmerman
earned his first career WORCS podium. The two racers
also recently teamed up to win the Pro class on
the Can-Am DS 450™ at the 2012 SCORE San Felipe
250 in Mexico.
“Josh and Dillon have been working hard
to put Team Motoworks / Can-Am and the DS 450
out in front of the competition whenever they
compete,” said Jimmie O’Dell, Race
Manager, Can-Am. “We’re very pleased
with the recent racing results out west. Both
of them battled hard to earn the San Felipe 250
victory and followed that up with a 1-3 showing
on the WORCS podium in Arizona. I’m very
pleased with these guys reaching the podium and
getting victories in two different series.”

Havasu, AZ |
Frederick came out of the dead-engine start in third
at Crazy Horse Campground in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
After a slight bobble slowed his pace on lap four,
Frederick regained a top-three position a lap later.
On lap nine, he took the lead and never looked back.
He won by more than 40 seconds, posted his second
consecutive victory and is now the Pro class points
leader with 72. “It was rough out
there, but once I got in the lead, I just kind
of cruised,” said Frederick. “I’m
taking it one race at a time and just trying to
give my best at every race. I was really excited
to have Dillon on the podium with me.”

Zimmerman battled back from a slow first lap
to earn his first top-three Pro class finish.
He was in sixth after one lap, but by the midpoint
of the race he was challenging for a podium spot.
His third-place ride also moved into fourth place
in the Pro class standings.
“I got a good start but I got hung up behind
another rider in the third turn,” said Zimmerman.
“I was almost dead last, but put my head
down and kept going.”

Motoworks
/ Can-Am's Josh Frederick at the SCORE San
Felipe 250 Baja ATV Race |
Frederick and Zimmerman powered their Motoworks
/ Can-Am DS 450 to a dominating victory in the
SCORE San Felipe 250 desert race. Using a Can-Am
ATV set up for WORCS racing and taller tires,
the team completed the race in 6:01:53 and averaged
a speed of 41.22 MPH. Its overall time was around
12 minutes better than the runner-up team.
“This was the first time I have raced any
of the SCORE races and it was a really incredible
experience. The course was fun, there were a lot
of spectators just out in the middle of nowhere;
it was very unique, and the fact that we won,
makes it even better,” said Zimmerman.
Team Motoworks / Can-Am racers compete in the
WORCS, SCORE, BITD, GNCC and AMA ATV Motocross
series aboard the DS 450. Reigning AMA ATV MX
Champion John Natalie will defend his 2011 title
Saturday, March 24 at Aonia Pass MX in Washington,
Ga.
