2007 WORCS rnd. 5 Zaca Station-Youth Coverage

[QuadJunkies]

Round 5 of the WORCS series was held at Zaca Station in Los Olivos Califorina.
Zaca Station would set a small change in pace for this round with sound concerns,so DB's would be strickly enforced as well and a NO tear off policy .

[QuadJunkies]

Some of the more seasoned riders would separate themsleves on this course as it would prove to be much more challenging on the MX sections.....

None the less, it didnt seem to effect much of the Youth class as approx. 88 entries for the Youth classes were ready to race!:macho
