WORCS 2007- Rnd. 2-Racetown395-Youth classes

[QuadJunkies]

The WORCS quads only series has reached a spectacular rider attendance over the past few years in each class and the youth classes are no exception.

The youth rider entries have soared and now have classes suitable for kids of all ages including a new Youth shifter open and shifter sport class.This allows the growing youths that are in a more competitive class with riders there own age that are not quite ready to graduate into the full sized quads/motors and yet separating them from CVT minis to even things out abit .

I personally love to watch the youth class as I too have my own kids who also race the series and I am always amazed to see how much talent these kids have and each year see how much more competitive they get.

Who knows,someday we just might see some of these kids being the next Traci Cecco or Doug Eichner :)

The youth race took place in at RaceTown395 Victorville California .
Friday I got a full day to meander threw the pits and shoot alot of the mini practice .
Pictured here is #177 Cole Fite.
Cole has a new quad for the season and races multiple classes including the Shifter sport class aboard his new 125 :eek2:

Fridays practice went pretty smooth for the minis, but there were some tough spots they would have to overcome to make it threw the wk. ends racing .

[QuadJunkies]

Practice also didnt come without inncident.
11y Cristian Elms from Blythe, CA

[QuadJunkies]

I think all the parents held there breath and then a sigh of relief as each rider rolled this section

[QuadJunkies]

Race 2 this year also has an Youth unclassified race followed by the mini classes .

The weather was near perfect racing conditions on Sat. but Sundays racing would prove to be alot different.

Gates are shared with the 71-90cc,71-90 stock and the 51-70 mod class.

[QuadJunkies]

The riders are off and 1st off the flag is the Shifter open class!!

[QuadJunkies]

Ashley Clinton in 2nd place
Unfortunatly for Ashley, this would be the only lap she gets due a tie rod issue while battling with Ze'vyer Mott for 2nd place.
Ashley is a very competitive and determined young lady so I expect to see more battles with her threwout the season.

[QuadJunkies]

Ze'vyer Mott makes the mad dash and pursues Taylor also grabs the holeshot!

In the 51-70cc mod class it would be # 16y Buddy Williams who leads the pack with #56y Caide Hunt tucked closely behind

[QuadJunkies]

This would not be the day for a poduim finish for Caide Hunt as she had to be air lifted to a local hopsital for possibly internal injuries.
I was there when Caide was thrown from her quad and was accidentally ran over by the 3rd place rider.
Im very happy to report Caide is doing fine and has no life threating injuries.
