2006 Worcs Round 8 - Monticello Utah

[quadchick01]

After over a month off from racing the Worcs series it was time to get back into action. And the track could not have been in a more peaceful place.

[quadchick01]

This is the first round that the WORCS crew has brought thier semi out. But we were all wondering were the quad was on the rig.

[quadchick01]

And as we walked around the other side, we noticed Doug Eichner, who is the only person who has ever had the WORCS title.

[quadchick01]

The weather was not that great however. It rained the few days before the race, as well during the day saturday. In fact their was even hail that came through for about 20 minutes. And then Saturday night, it rained pretty much the entire night.

This is how much pretty much all of the riders where.

[quadchick01]

But that would not stop the 14 pros that where signed up to race.

[quadchick01]

Getting out front would defintly be a great advantage in this race, and it was Robbie Mitchell who grabbed the holeshot for the pro race.

[quadchick01]

But Frederick was able to take over the first place position on the first lap.

[quadchick01]

With Doug Eichner in the second place position.

This is one of the most difficult obstacles that the pros have had to face this year. It was about a 4 foot drop off of rocks.

And there where only two lines, so when someone got stuck, other riders where having to get off of their bikes and help them out.

[quadchick01]

And Robbie Mitchell was in the third spot.

[quadchick01]

Zack Herrera lodge himself in between a rock, and a tree, and was not able to get out. After several minutes, Pro Am Rider Robert Kramar stopped to help. Unfortunetly even both of these riders could not dislodge the quad. So Robert was off and on his way. Finally David Lyndsay stopped and they where able to get Zacks quad out, unfortunetly once Lyndsay went to take off, he found himself in the same position.

[quadchick01]

Lyndsay was not able to get his quad out, until Dax Snow, the pro-am rider stopped to help.

This was defintly a very tricky obstacle.

[quadchick01]

Eichner took over the lead after Frederick had to stop to due to a flat tire.

[quadchick01]

This is what the conditions where like during the pro race, and may I add that this is at the end of the racing day, anfter the Sunday morning classes have already went through it.

[quadchick01]

Frederick was trying to work his way through the pack, in all hopes of catching up to Eichner.

[quadchick01]

But in the end it was Eichner who was able to grab the win for the pro class.

[quadchick01]

Robbie Mitchell grabbed the second position.

[quadchick01]

And Josh Frederick rounded out the top three.

[quadchick01]

With this win, Doug Eichner is now 31 points ahead, and with only one round left, no one can pass Eichner in points. So DOUG EICHNER CLAIMED the 2006 WORCS Title. Congratulations DOUG!!!!!!

[quadchick01]

After getting a bad start, and having to work his wya through the pack, Justin Waters was finally back on the podium. Waters had not been on the podium since the Race Town race back in March. We are glad to see his hard work in practing was paying off.

[quadchick01]

Nicholas De Le Grange grabbed the second place position on the Podium for the Pro-Am class.

[quadchick01]

And Paul WIlkerson rounded out the Podium in the Pro-Am class.

[quadchick01]

Josh Frederick took the win in the Utility class on Saturday. He didn't have to deal with the mud this late in the day, but you can sure bet the track was still difficult to ride.

[quadchick01]

Lynn Prosser took the win in the Women's A class.

[quadchick01]

After her only opponent got stuck in the mud, right after the start.

[quadchick01]

And this is what most racers looked like after they where done.

[quadchick01]

John Shafe took the win in the Open pro class, after leading the entire race.

[quadchick01]

Christy McGuffin grabbed the win for the Womens B Class, which now puts her and Danielle tied going into the last round of the series.

[quadchick01]

Danielle grabbed second overall, after having motor problems in her earlier race, and still being able to stay right behind McGuffin on a different bike.

[quadchick01]

Despite the fact that the entire track was muddy, there were sitll many girls out there thearing it up.

[quadchick01]

After a long break of having the pros interview the kids while on the podium, they were back to old traditions.

[quadchick01]

And you can bet that Katie Hunt was glad to recieve her first place trouphy from the 2006 WORCS Champion.

[quadchick01]

And here is the Pro-Am podium shot. With Justin Waters with the number one plate, Nicholas De Le Grange with the number two spot, and Paul Wilkerson in Third.

[quadchick01]

And here is the Pro Podium for round #8.

[quadchick01]

And YOUR 2006 Worcs Champion, DOUG EICHNER!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO DOUG!!!!!!

[quadchick01]

And you can bet that Lenny will not be as stressed as he was today, anymore, well atleast not until the next series.

[quadchick01]

And it looked like we were getting out of there right on time, just before it started to rain once again.
