WORCS Racing - Round
8 - Racetown 395 - Pro ATV Race Report
Can-Am's Josh Frederick Wins,
Beau Baron & Jeremie Warnia Podium
Adelanto, CA - Can-Am/Motoworks’
Josh Frederick claimed the win at round number eight
of the 2011 WORCS series while MCR/Maxxis Tire’s
Beau Baron charged his way to a solid second, with
Jeremie Warnia taking a third place finish.
On Saturday, there was a pro rider clinic put
on for all interested to attend. There were four
stations set up with two pro at each one to assist
participants with jumping, cornering, starts,
and other riding techniques. Yamaha’s Josh
Row, who recently underwent shoulder surgery was
also on hand to help out for the clinic and was
happy to be a part of the action even though he
was not able to race. “It was fun for me
out there and it felt good to be back out there
and be a part of everything even though I wasn’t
racing,” he stated.

| Saturday
evening, the WORCS Pro ATV Racers provided
riding tips to the amateurs at several different
stations around the track. Beau Baron &
Josh Row (Above left) offered tips on going
through the WORCS-X Section & David
Haagsma (Above Right) along with Tim Shelman
provided jumping technics |
A redesigned track greeted racers for this round,
but laps were shorter adding and advantage for
some as they were able to choose good places where
to make passes and increase their lap times. The
dry conditions did create some dust, but a slight
breeze cleared the areas quickly.
With the pro points chase being so close between
teammates Josh Frederick and Jeremie Warnia, and
with wildcard Beau Baron thrown into the mix,
the competition was fierce as the three racers
left the line for the main event.

Can-Am's
#1 Josh Frederick was on the move late in
the race as he chased down #549 Beau Baron
in the lead |
Can-Am/Motoworks’ Josh Frederick was in
the top five off the start but was not worried
about making up time as he has been known for
his come from behind wins. Frederick held his
fifth place position for two laps before he started
to make his way to the front.
The shorter course offered plenty of opportunity
for racers to scope out good lines and places
to pass, which helped Frederick to make his way
through traffic and move into position to take
over the lead. In the eighth lap, Frederick made
the pass on his teammate Jeremie Warnia after
getting by Beau Baron when he made a pit stop,
and took over the lead. Frederick did fall back
to second in lap ten after stopping to pit himself,
but was able to retake the lead and take home
the win after Baron got a little crossed up in
the whoops section.

Racing's #1 Josh Frederick made the pass
on Beau Baron & stayed on the gas to
the checkered flag to secure the win, which
now has him tied for the points lead with
#62 jeremie Warnia with only one round of
racing left on the race schedule |
“It felt really good to take the win. I
had a good race today. I got a decent start and
was able to move up easily. The track did get
a little rough because it was such a short track,
but it was good and challenging track. I guess
Jeremie and I are supposed to be tied for points
right now going into the last round, so I am going
to do whatever I can to make sure I take the win
at Speedworld,” stated Frederick.
