WORCS Racing - Round
1 - Honolulu Hills - Pro ATV Race Report
Can-Am's Jeremie Warnia Wins,
Dustin Nelson &Josh Frederick Podium
Taft, CA - The off season proved
to be convulsive for many of the sport’s top
factory riders. No one was hit harder than AMA ATV
MX National Champion Josh Creamer, who brought the
2010 National Championship to Suzuki only to be
told they were dropping out of ATV racing, leaving
Josh with no ride and dim hopes of defending his
#1 plate.

2010
AMA ATV MX Champion, #270 Josh Creamer |
2010
WORCS Pro ATV Champion, #1 Josh Frederick |
| The
stage is set for 2011 with the battle of
the champions with Josh Creamer making the
switch to WORCS racing for 2011 to go head
to head with the reigning champion, Josh
Frederick,, but they aren't alone with 4x
Quadcross Champion, Dustin Nelson back in
the mix along with prior champion, Beau
Baron, which will surely make for some exciting
WORCS Pro ATV racing action in 2011 |
However, Creamer rebounded, hooked up with Bomb
Squad Racing and traveled west to take on the
fast and fit riders of the World Off Road Championship
Series (WORCS). The WORCS Series already had Champions
of its own and those top rider were ready to pay
close attention to Creamer, but were not really
worried about him knocking them off the podium.

#62
Jeremie Warnia focused on racing at the
AMA Pro ATV MX Nationals in 2010, but for
2011 he is back to racing WORCS full-time
for Can-Am / Motoworks |
DWT's
#49 Dillon Zimmerman finished out his Pro
Rookie Year with a Top 5 finish, so he is
back for 2011 looking to move up the points
ladder |
Defending 2010 WORCS Champion Josh Frederick
returned with the #1 plate gracing the front of
his factory Can-Am. Frederick is the only 3-time
WORCS Champion and has his sights set on his fourth
title in 2011. He is joined under the Motoworks
/ Can-Am semi by teammates Jeremie Warnia and
Dillon Zimmerman.

The
2009 WORCS Champion, Maxxis' #549 Beau Baron,
missed a repeat championship by 3 points
in 2010, so he will surely be a force again
in 2011 |
The
2010 WORCS Pro-Am Champion, David Haagsma,
has made the jump to the Pro Class for 2011
& he will remain on the #422 MCR / Maxxis
Honda Team |
Last season, Frederick barely edged out 2009
WORCS Champion Beau Baron. Maxxis / MCR's Baron
is a tenacious competitor and always a factor
and hopes to regain the title he lost last year.
