2012 WORCS ATV Racing Round #2 - Buffalo Bill's February 12, 2012

Round 2 of the 2012 WORCS Racing Series was held at Buffalo Bill's Casino with both ATVs & Motorcycle racing on separate tracks both Saturday & Sunday

Great weather was on tap for round two, but the lack of moisture that has plagued the Nevada desert this winter took its toll and made for quite a bit of dust. Track workers saturated the track overnight but too little avail as the water soaked up quickly and created quite a bit of dust in sections. Luckily, there was a nice breeze blowing that helped to clear the dust out and keep visibility issues to a minimum. The great weather also contributed to the giving nature of the WORCS family who came together his weekend to help out a fellow racer in need.

The WORCS family is known for their unity and support of each other and round two of the 2012 series showed that sense of community in full. Legendary racer, and multi-time WORCS Pro ATV champion, Doug Eichner and his family have been struggling ever since Doug’s wife Joan was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. It has been a tough battle and Doug has been working non-stop to support his family and pay medical expenses that have been mounting.

Special Doug Eichner t-shirts were available for $40/each with all the funds going to the Eichner family & they will be available at Lake Havasu as well	There were numerous silent auction items available for bidding along with Polaris Outlaw 450MX ATV Raffle & Rick Shafe was the lucky winner

The WORCS family banded together for round two to show their support of the family. Special Doug Eichner t-shirts were available for purchase, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Eichner family. Also donations were collected via a Fill-the-Boot style campaign that helped raise money for the family. One of Doug Eichner’s stock Polaris Outlaw ATV’s was also raffled off with Rick Shafe being the lucky winner of the quad.

This weekend was a combined weekend with both quads and bikes in attendance and t was reported that there were a record number of registrations for this event that made for a great weekend of racing.

As the racers lined up for the pro ATV main event, racer Justin Waters noticed his drain plug was missing and just before the drop of the flag, Waters jumped off his quad in hopes of getting a two minute delay, but it was too late, and the flag dropped. Waters’ last minute dismount did however create a distraction on the line that caused several racers who are known for good starts, to get a slower than normal start; but that wasn’t the case for DWT’s Dillon Zimmerman, who grabbed the pro ATV holeshot on the dead engine start.
