WORCS
ATV Racing – Round 5 – Payette, ID
– June 4, 2011

William Yokley
placed fifth at Clay Peaks MX & still
sits first in the points

Frankfurt, KY (6/8/2011) - National
Guard Polaris Coastal DragonFire Yokley Racing Team
driver William Yokley finished 5th in the Side by
Side Class 1 in Round 5 of the 2011 WORCS Series,
and National Guard Polaris Coastal Yokley Racing
Team driver Scott Kiger finished 3rd in the same
Class. National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing ATV
Team rider Jarrod McClure finished 8th in the Pro
ATV Class.
The National Guard Polaris Team made the long
trip to Idaho after last week’s GNCC race
in Pennsylvania. The Clay Peaks Motocross Park
is less than an hour from Boise in a picturesque
part of the state. The terrain was hilly with
many long up and down sections, loamy motocross
turns and sandy areas. The weather was perfect,
temps in the 70s and low humidity.

Scott Kiger took third in Side by Side
Class 1 aboard his Polaris RZR XP 900
UTV
|
At the drop of the flag and into the first turn,
Yokley was 2nd and Kiger was 5th. There were a
few sandy sections where the visibility was poor
and racers from about 4th on back had to basically
come to a standstill and let the silky dust settle
before they could continue. This allowed the leader
to stretch out his margin by quite a bit going
into lap 2.
Once the racers separated a bit after a couple
of laps, the dust was less of a problem. Yokley
experienced a few issues, and uncharacteristically
dropped back in the pack. Meanwhile, Scott Kiger
was getting into a fast race pace and moving toward
the front. He actually turned the fastest lap
of all the Side by Sides, but he had lost too
much time on the first lap to challenge for the
win. The National Guard Polaris Ranger RZR XP
900s were handling and working well.
Kiger finished in 3rd with Yokley in 5th. William
maintained the lead in WORCS season points, and
Scott is in 6th position. The Side by Side team
has a summer break from racing, and their next
WORCS event is at the Washougal Washington Motocross
Park.

Only a week
after his crash at Rock Run GNCC McClure
finished with a respectful eighth place
in the ATV Pro Class
|
National Guard Coastal rider Jarrod McClure only
had a week to heal up from his injuries sustained
at the last GNCC race. ATV Pro practice was the
first time that he was back on the bike since
his accident, and he was sore but able to run
a good pace. He did not earn a good gate pick
for the pro race due to some problems in the timed
practice.
When the gate dropped, Jarrod was squeezed and
bounced around in the first turn. He was toward
the back of the 14 rider pro class. Like the Side
by Side race, the dust was very bad, allowing
the front runners to get a big gap. Jarrod rode
a good race and worked his way up to 8th by the
finish of the 90 minute race. His battered body
held up well and was able to finish strong. Jarrod’s
next race is in 3 weeks at the Snowshoe Mountain
GNCC. We’ll see you there!
