2 of the WORCS Series

Primm, NV - The MCR Maxxis team
claimed two positions on the pro podium, but the
playing field was evened at round number two of
the 2010 WORCS series, with Can-Am Motoworks' Josh
Frederick taking the win over MCR/Maxxis' Beau Baron
to tie for the points lead, while MCR/Maxxis' Josh
Row claimed the number three spot.
Round number two was held at the esteamed Buffalo
BIll's Casion & Resort in Primm, NV and was
a combined round of quads and bikes running side
by side on two courses. In addition to the added
distraction of the bikes, the race was also a
dead engine start that got the best of some racers.
"It was a little confusing on the starts
because they had two flags; one for the ATV's
and one for the bikes. I was paying attention
to the ATV flag because I didn't want to jump
or anything like that. The flags were supposed
to be dropped at the same time, but the bike flag
dropped a couple seconds early and all the quads
went on that flag and I was still sitting there
at the line waiting for the ATV flag, so I was
like last off the line," said Can-Am Motoworks'
Cole Henry regarding his start in Saturday's Production
A class.

The 13 mile course for Sunday's main event was
dry and very high speed in most places, but the
loose sand soon gave way to huge whoops and ruts
that played a big part in most racer's endurance,
but it didn't seem to phase Can-Am Motoworks'
Josh Frederick one bit.
Frederick was in about eighth place off the line
and worked his way into fifth before the end of
the first lap. From there, Frederick paced himself
in order to make a hard charge later on. "At
about the midway point I really started to push
hard. I knew I had to make up a couple of spots
so I just tried to stay focused. By lap ten, Frederick
had made his way around Josh Row and Yamaha's
Dustin Nelson and was in pursuit of leader Beau
Baron.

In
the 10th lap, DWT's Josh Federick made his
charge to the front passing both Dustin
Nelson & Beau Baron to take the lead,
which he held to the checkered flag for
the win
|
About halfway into lap ten, Frederick took over
the lead and checked out. Frederick would take
first place with almost a one minute lead. "It
felt really good to be back on top of the podium
again. We've done a few suspension changes to
the Can-am and it's working awesome, so I hope
to keep getting more wins," said Frederick.
