It was a busy weekend for the National Guard
Polaris Coastal Yokley Side by Side Racing team,
as they traveled straight from the Heartland Challenge
in Carlisle, Iowa on Friday to the Washougal MX
Park in Washington for Round 6 of the 2011 WORCS
series. With little sleep, the team prepared for
the race. The course includes parts of the historic
Washougal Pro Motocross course with big jumps,
and woods sections in the scenic Washington hills.
The weather was perfect with low humidity.
The 45 minute Side by Side race began with the
National Guard Polaris Ranger
RZR XP900s running 4th and 5th heading into the
woods sections. William
Yokley overshot a turn and lost several positions,
and Scott Kiger worked his way
up to 2nd place after 2 laps. Scott had a brief
delay on course while William had
passed up to 2nd place. On the last lap, Yokley
passed for the lead going into
the woods, and was able to stretch it out for
his first overall WORCS win of the
season. Kiger finished 3rd putting both National
Guard machines on the podium.
Yokley increased his season point lead with the
win, and Kiger moved up to 3rd in
points. It was a very good day for the team! On
Monday, the team went riding in
the Oregon sand dunes and had a blast. They talked
to many other riders in the
area, and showed them the new XP900s. It was a
good end to a long weekend!

Jarrod McClure took his season's best
finish at Washougal taking fourth in the
ATV Pro Class

National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing ATV Team Rider
Jarrod McClure was anxious to get back racing after
several weeks of summer break. The start used the
pro motocross starting gate, which makes for a crowded
first turn. Jarrod was 7th after one lap on the
MX course and heading into the woods. The MX track
was perfect with loamy soil that had been watered,
but the woods sections were pretty dusty with everyone
nose to tail on lap 1. Jarrod was able to move up
once the riders spaced out some. He rode a strong
race eventually finishing in 4th place, his best
finish this year in the series. Jarrod is now 6th
in season points, and his next race is on September
10 at the Unadilla GNCC in New York.
