2006 Worcs Round 9 - Pismo

[quadchick01]

For the final round of the 2006 Worcs series we would be racing in the sand dunes, in Pismo.

Which means you were right along te beach.

[quadchick01]

They had both races going at the same time, but on two different parallel courses

[quadchick01]

And you can bet that the riders were having fun racing in the dunes.

[quadchick01]

There were 19 pros signed up to race.

[quadchick01]

But it was Doug Eichner who was able to grab the hole shot for the pro class.

[quadchick01]

You can bet that the racers had a nice view to look at while they were racing.

[quadchick01]

Doug Eichner was still our front when he came around for the first lap.

[quadchick01]

John Shafe was running in the second place position.

[quadchick01]

And Brandon Brown was running in the third spot.

[quadchick01]

Robbie Mitchell was running in the fourth spot.

[quadchick01]

And Josh Frederick was running in the fifth spot, shortly before having moto problems, and having to call it quits for the day.

[quadchick01]

Doug Eichner looked as if he was having a blast out there. And had a comfortable lead over the rest of the riders.

[quadchick01]

Brandon Brown was riding hard, and was able to move into the second place position.

[quadchick01]

Pushing John Shafe into the third place position.

[quadchick01]

Levi Marana was running int he fourth place spot after having a not so good start.

[quadchick01]

And Robbie Mitchell was running in the fifth spot.

[quadchick01]

Here is Doug Eichner coming down one so the small dune hills, but it looks like it would definitely be a lot of fun.

[quadchick01]

Here is John Shafe running in the third place position, and tearing it up in the dunes.

[quadchick01]

Also a face that we do not get to see around here often, Nick Hengtgen. Nick has been slowly working his way back into racing, after a bad crash at an ITP Quad Cross race at Speed World. We are jsut glad to see that he is ok.

[quadchick01]

Doug Eichner was able to walk away with the win for the Pro Class.

[quadchick01]

Brandon Brown rode hard, and was able to finish second in the Pro Class, which is his best finish in this class for the entire year.

[quadchick01]

John Shafe grabbed the last podium position for the day.

[quadchick01]

Levi Marana just missed the top three, but was able to pull a fourth place position. Marana is going to definitely be a rider to watch next year.

[quadchick01]

And Robbie Mitchell rounded out the top five for the pro class.

[quadchick01]

Mike Kelley grabbed the hole shot for the pro am class, but had some problems, and was only able to make it one lap.

[quadchick01]

The Pro Am points leader, Justin Waters, crashed off the start, and it took him awhile to get his quad going. But luckily he was able to.

[quadchick01]

Andrew Lattimar took a quick lead in the pro-am class.

[quadchick01]

Dillion Zimmerman was running in the second place poisition, and closing the gap between himseld and Lattimar.

[quadchick01]

And the number 124 rider Paul Wilkerson was running in the third place position.

[quadchick01]

Justin Waters was making his way up through the pack fast, from a last place start. It was not very long before he was running in the fifth spot, and closing the gap between the rest of the riders.

[quadchick01]

Dillon Zimmerman took over the lead for the Pro-Am class pushing Lattimar into the second place position.

[quadchick01]

And Justin Waters pushed his way into the third place position.

[quadchick01]

Pushing Wilkerson into the fourth place.

[quadchick01]

Ira Green who was running in the fifth spot, moved into the fourth spot, pushing Wilkerson into fifth.

[quadchick01]

But in the end of the race, it was Dillon Zimmerman who was able to grab the win for the Pro-Am class, followed by Andrew Lattimar in second, and Justin Waters finishing in third.

[quadchick01]

But the 2006 Pro-Am Champion was Justin Waters taking the win with 127 points. Congratulations JUSTIN!!!!!

[quadchick01]

There were definitely some interesting things this weekend at Pismo, such as the porter-potties that were graphic wrapped.

[quadchick01]

And vehicles having to be pulled in and out by a tractor.

[quadchick01]

But once again Congratulations to Doug Eichner on the 2006 Pro Championship win.

The Pro-Am race was ROUGH. This was my first ever Pro-Am race, I got 8th in Open A, my first legit qualification. You can see me at the far right side of the track on the Pro-Am Holeshot.

The three riders in the front of the holeshot are all Team Money$hot guys, Mike Kelley, Bryan Grey, and Jared Johanson.

Mike Kelley crashed right along with Justin on the start, and spun a hub in one of the long whoops sections....Bryan Grey(#111 on the ATK) and Joe Rarey(#609 on the Sundahl Banshee, 3rd in the Pro Holeshot) both blew rear shocks.

Jared got an 11th, and I got a 13th.

[QuadJunkies]

Great coverage, though the holeshot in the pro-am was close it was awarded to Bryan Grey #111 on the S&S ATK in the left of the below picture.

I personally appreciate all the time and effort Brittany and Roy have put into the series. It takes ALOT of time and we all know how crazy things get and how busy we are. Not everyone can or will take the time to do this .

I know I speak for many that the coverage is VERY MUCH appreciated ;)

[wimpy76]

Does anybody know what happened to Logan Holliday this year? I thought he was going to have a good year.

[CannondaleRider]

He sold his quad stuff, quit, and is now riding bikes only.

Apparently he's much better on a bike then he is a quad:eek2:

[flyboy62]

Doug Eichner was still our front when he came around for the first lap.
