Anza, CA- All three of the top
finishers from the Pro-Am ATV Class had their share
of difficulties over the course of the weekend.
The flag dropped for the Production A Class Saturday
morning with D.J. Noerr # 842 grabbing the holeshot.The
next line after Production A to take off was Women's
A, # 279 Raustyn Hurst would edge out Julie Russell
# 1W for the holeshot and the early lead. Russell
charged hard and took over the lead on the 3rd
lap. She would have the fastest lap in her class
as well as a minute and a half lead over 2nd place.
She would hold the first position taking the checkered
flag in Women's A! Garrin Fuller would overtake
Noerr and maintain his position throughout the
race to take the win.

Hurst’s # 279 holeshot over Julie
Russell 1W in Women’s A Class |
Open A had a lot of names you usually see in
Production A, not to mention that the top three
finishers in Pro-AM ended up racing all three
A races over the course of the weekend (Production
A, Open A and Pro-AM). The gate dropped on Open
A, and Cole Fite # 177 took the holeshot with
Garrin Fuller # 45 on his back bumper along with
the rest of the field. Garrin Fuller quickly got
around Fite # 177 and was putting some serious
time on 2nd place.

Collins
Webster made his way thew the pro rock section
on his Can-Am DS450ATV |
It seemed as though he was going to easily walk
away with the win as he continued to pull away from
the pack, then all of a sudden the crowd watched
as he crashed going into a turn on the motocross
track. After sitting on the side of the track for
some time, he continued the rest of his lap, before
pulling off with mechanical issues. This would move
Keith Johnson (# 312) into 1st and Collins Webster
into 2nd. When the leaders came around for the 3rd
lap, Webster crashed in the same exact corner as
Fuller. Both fortunately walked away from their
crashes unscathed.

H
& M’s Chase Thomas # 622 had a
pair of 4th places in Production A and Pro-Am |
Keith Johnson took third in Pro-Am
aboard his Honda TRX450R and 1st in Open
A |
With two of the top contenders out of the race
due to crashes, Johnson # 312 was left with Mitchell
# 83, and Daniel Grodski # 800 in 2nd and 3rd
place respectively. Coming around for the last
few turns on the motocross track Mitchell was
right on Johnson’s grab bar. They came to
the checkered flag Johnson # 312 first, Mitchell
# 83 second, and Grodski # 800 third. The win
for Keith Johnson was special as it was the last
time the # 312 will ever be ran at a W.O.R.C.S.
race in memory of his younger brother Casey Johnson.
