With additions to the entries, so are the Youth Teams.
APEX USA was on hand and ran fast and furious this past wk end adding yet another Factory backed race team to the WORCS series.
DRR ,APEX and Polaris are only the tip of whats in store for the future of our Youth riders .

There may have been some Lake front racing, but dont think for a moment it was just a cruise around the Lake!
Track conditons quickly began to look like a rock quarry with sandy whooped out sections ,MX sections were tough on the riders and on there machines ,riders in all classes found several of the jumps tough to clear and kickers were found on the lips of some of the jumps.
Riders would not only have to endure tough riding conditions, but would also have to prepare for the heatwave that so many riders were not ready for.
Many of the riders are just now seeing 60 degree weather at home, so preparing for 90 degree weather was ROUGH !!!
Several riders experienced Clutch and chain issues threwout the wk end.

The final re-cap of the youth Coverage is the Sport 8-15 class...
I save this class for last because it was HUUUGE!!
Gates were popping at the seams and were staggered forthe Sport 8-15 class.
This was also the most grueling race of the Youth wk end as temps soared into the 90's and the race was pushed back an hour,which meant more heat and a much rougher track....
These kids are TOUGH! MAny of the adults struggled to finish and at times,wanted to pull off. I could hear a few kids in tears from the agony ,blistered hands and sore muscles...

Shifter Sport class -
#177 Cole Fite has the fastest lap time in lap 3 ,Fite leads the race to the checker .
