This past week end kicked off round 3 in Lake Havasu Arizona at Crazyhorse Campgrounds.
Lake Havasu City, Arizona is located on the beautiful Colorado River. Lake Havasu is known as a popular year round tourist destination .The city is a destination of choice for university students during Spring Break,which just happened to start the same week end as the WORCS race was and continues for the city for a full 8 weeks!

Its hard to imagine a lake was hidden in between all the rugged desert I passed along the way.
Most of the wk end we had light winds which helped us all survive the heat as several of us have not adjusted to the warmer weather yet.

I pullled in abit late on Friday so I made a mad dash for the track to get in a few shots of the last few riders at Fridays practice.
I like to take pics of the practice so I can get a feel for the riders when they are a bit more relaxed for some fun shots.

Racing is about to kick off with near perfect racing temps for the unclassifieds,but soar up into the low 90's.
By mid afternoon ,even some the seasoned riders were taken by surprise from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

This was about all the time I had time to recap the wk ends racing as Ill also be doing the Video Coverage of most of the holeshots videos as well,so watch for those ! Youth and Womens race will be held in separate Coverage.

Also watch for upcoming interviews with some of the West Coast fastest ladies in the WORCS series



Round 4 will be held in my home State-Payette, Idaho at Clay Peak MX Park . This is a popular track in the WORCS series and will be one round you will not want to miss!
The topic is now open for discussion.
