WORCS 2007-Round 4-Clay Peak Mx Park-Youth Coverage

[QuadJunkies]

Clay Peak MX Park would be where the majority of the Youth racing originated a couple of years ago at the 1st quads only WORCS series.
The Youth class has steadily grown over time and has taken to a higher and much more competitive level with kids racing anything from 50cc 4 yr. olds to highly modified Hybrid 125-150cc mini quads to keep the youth in a class thats for the rider who is not yet age of size wise ready to move up to a full sized quad.

The Youth classes have been a HUGE success in WORCS racing with youth classes under 15yrs old ,riders are able to chose from a variety of 15 classes to race in between Sat.and Sunday racing.

Clay Peak in the past has been known for its change in pace as a very past pace track with very little jumps and sections that could easily reached in 5th gear.
Mini riders were also able to hit some high speeds in the MX section . But this year would prove to be a whole new ball game as the MX section was completely rebuilt at thelast minute- overwatering and rain would cause havoc for several of the riders this past wk end as well...

To start the Coverage off, youths over 50cc were given an option to race the unclassified combined with the Amatuer B/C classes.

After the unclassified race, the Shifter open,91-125cc open,71-90 mod. 8-15,71-90cc stock 8-15yrs and the 51-70cc mod 6-11yrs. ALL share the same race with separate gates .

Shifter open riders are off !!
Rider ##196y Casey Donahoe from Puyallup Wa. was flat out haulin ! Out front for most of the race ,but was not able to finish his last lap at he blew a motor.
Two of the shifters did not make there final lap and I heard an unconfirmed reason for one of the shifter riders that he ran out of fuel.,Im just not sure which one .
If someone can post the info at the end of the coverage on these two riders that woule be great

Holding the number 2 spot would be 18y Parker Taylor

[QuadJunkies]

In lap one, #961y Ze'vyer Mott would hold the 3rd position moving back to the 5th slot in lap 2.

[QuadJunkies]

By lap 4 things on the line up had completely changed as Atvriders #10y Kelsey Lugan(LILQJ) made her way threw the pack starting out with a 5th position in lap 2 to 2nd place in lap 4!
Mott was hot on her path!

[QuadJunkies]

Lap 4 with only less than a second between 2nd and 3rd place, Mott would take advantage of a lapper in Lugan's path and take home the checker with a 2nd place finish leaving Kelsey Lugan in 3rd. This was an awesome race to watch the two battle to the end!:macho

[QuadJunkies]

In the 91 open class #30y Allie Shelman from Bonney Lake Wash. would take home the solid 1st place finish.
Shelman has had a tough time this season with a few mechanical issues so this would be her big break!

[QuadJunkies]

2nd place in the 91 open goes out to #1344 Ben Williams who also led a solid 2nd place finish.

[QuadJunkies]

and in 3rd place finish goes to #299y Cameron Donahoe

[QuadJunkies]

#14y Austin Bennett would take over the 1st place slot until the final lap Mitchell would then lead to the victorious checker with 1st place on the podium-Bennet in second.

[QuadJunkies]

All the mini 's would have not only a tough battle with such a variety of classes all sharing the same race, but mud would play havoc for mini riders as well and there quads.

[QuadJunkies]

Several riders had to be pushed up hills that was too slick to make it upon on there own on the horsepower robbing hillclimb.

[QuadJunkies]

3rd place in the 71-90 mod. class would go out to #110y Tommy Harris.

[QuadJunkies]

In the stock 71-90 class, #345y Tyler Wentz from Susanville,Ca. lad the 1st lap falling back to 2nd in lap two.

#00y Aj Bihary from Marysville,Wa would move up from the 4th position to the 2nd in lap 4 taking home 2nd place for the day in the 51cc-70cc mod .

[QuadJunkies]

Who would have thought that a 50-70cc mini could be competitive?
Im still amazed each time I watch these little guys and gals in this class.

Sundays race # 13 is the race right before the Pro main for the 50-70 open,70cc stock 6-11 yr,50cc stock 7-8 yr. and the 50cc stock 4-6 yr.

[QuadJunkies]

These kids would have to endure some very tough muddy conditions that had to allow for alot of assistance at times from the infield to get over simple rollers ,small hils ect.

[QuadJunkies]

This time in the 50-70 open class, Caide Hunt would move up from 4th to the #1 on the poduim in lap 3 .

[QuadJunkies]

Buddy William would start the race in 3rd, but quickly moves up to a solid 2nd place finish .

[QuadJunkies]

#00y Aj Bihary would lead the race until lap 3,falls back to 4th ,but gets his place also on the poduim with a 3rd place finish in the 50-70 open class.

[QuadJunkies]

In the 70cc stock 6-11 yr class #445y Kristen Wentz runs solo.

[QuadJunkies]

In the 50c stock 7-8 yr class # 11p Christian Elms off to a rough start in 4th place, but in lap 4 moves all the way up to 1st place winning the 50cc stock class.

[QuadJunkies]

# 103p Kody Winiecki would move from the 1st place position to 2nd on the poduim.
Caitlyn Harris would finish in 3rd.
I try to make sure I get everyones shots but this time I somehow missed these two riders shots. :( The riders got pretty muddy by the end of the race so I had a tough time seeing who was who ..
:p

Congradulations on your finishes and Ill do my best to get more next round ;)


The final mini class of the day was the 50 stock 4-6 yr class.
# 211y Kohl Feuerhahn from Bakersfield,Ca. was solid from start to finish ending the race in 1st place .

[QuadJunkies]

# 711p Chase Higgins finshes up in 2nd.

[QuadJunkies]

3rd place would go to # 222p Missy Taylor.

It was a great race to the end. I just wanted to say the Ze'vyer #961 dropped to 5th in the second lap due to a rock being lodged between his steering stem and the stop on the frame not allowing him to turn left. It was still a great race....
