Holly cow... Those whoops were "very nasty"! First lap I took a beating going a little too fast for me to handle. I am sure there were quite a few doing the "face plant" on that whoop section!:DQuote:

Great pics!

If I remember right, they announced over the intercom that the rider in race 3 that was air lifted out was ok. I believe they announced it just before race 5.
Lots of laughs about the fuel... Same thing happend to a buddy a couple of years ago on a Cannondale. Hopefully that will never happen again to you.
Congrats!Quote:

I noticed quite a few nice setups there this past weekend. Good luck with your YFZ... And make sure you get some sleep!:D
You talking bout me? I never ran out just flew like heck to get around the first lap to get fuel.:DQuote:

Phoenix sure did turn out to be a great race weekend. The track was set up nice and was a blast to ride on. They really have a good set up at speedworld with the drag cars and R.C. airplanes and everything. The flat track section was serious speed and the rest of the track was a great quad track to race on. It was awesome to start the new season out so good with PERFECT weather and epic racing. Everyone we talked to was glad to be getting back to the action and Congrats to anyone who took home some trophies. My son got one for his 1st place in his class (90 mod.) and those things are nice this year. It looks like the WA. racers are going to be strong this year with a good turn out so far from their home and two events in their state. That Sunday pro race was just flat out exciting to watch. If you missed it you missed some great racing action. This is going to a great year of battles between those guys with Logan Holliday running so strong with Josh Frederick and Doug Eichner. It was worth paying for to watch. And speaking of paying, does anyone else wish that the track flyers would start including the track entry fees to get in once we get there? I think it would be nice to know ahead of time what the fees are and have them printed somewhere. Entry fees+fuel cost+track fees=$$$$$. We know that it's not going to be free but we would like to know what to expect. See everyone at Taft and good luck.
yeah I was the one sitting in the corner of the mx track cheering everyone else on on my brother's quad lol at least I had a good view of the race, but it sucked cause that's as far as i got so I didn't even have a lap in when it was time to race the Open A race, but the course was pretty much the same as last year, just the jumps and that whoops section was different.
What a great time!!! What a perfect weekend, too! Except it was DAYUM cold!!! I kept sliding around in practice.....I couldn't figure out why - till I went to wash my quad and found out the ground was FROZEN and the mud was actually iced over! LOL!!!
What a turnout!!! Glad so many of you came to AZ!!! I know the WORCS people were happy campers!!
I have to thank my wonderful mechanic and hubby for making sure my YFZ ran flawlessly.......as always!! And this is the first WORCS raced I've run with my RXM/TCM suspension (I was stock last year) and it makes a WORLD of difference!! :)
My Women's A class I had a great race.....no traction due to very bald Kenda's, but plenty o power - so it was fun! I got back a little on the start due to the dirt starts....too much tire spin...bald tires....hahahahahaha.....but I got into second pretty quick and had to ride it out a little behind Brittany Brosious, who was ahead of me - I only had a couple of tearoffs, and the first part of the track was pretty muddy....had to wait to find a good place to pass without getting mudded out.......I passed Brittany on the long straight just before the right hand sweeper onto the vet track......and then I hammered it down. I figured Lynn Prosser was behind me and she'd be showing me a tire at any time, so I just wanted to put as much distance between her and I as I could before my arms pumped up too bad.........every once in a while I'd check back to see where everyone was......and I knew towards the end of the race, that I had a pretty good lead, so I could just ride smooth for the rest........so I finished 1st in Women's A. I was pretty happy with that! :)
My first 30+ A race on Sunday was also really fun....had some good racing with Roy Bloodworth - he and I swapped leads for most of the race.......I got a bad start again (balder tires, muddy start....not good!) and went through all of my tearoffs before the 1st lap was over trying pass guys.....I finally just chilled and started passing on the drier parts of the track.......had to preserve my goggles the best I could......it was SO ROUGH that I had a hard time just hanging on in some places.......I'd get passed in the rough stuff, then when we got to the MX parts, I'd pass them back.......super fun race. I had no idea where I finished, until afterwards - I got 6th in the 30+ A class!! I didn't think I had finished that well - made me a happy and very tired and sore camper! :) I definately need to work more on my whoops......I just can't do those square-edge nasty holes very well.....it's like my piddly arms will just snap in half!! LOL!!!
We took a bunch of pics - I think some are already up......the rest will be up soon......I know there is coverage coming, too - so look for that!!!
Pro races were awesome to watch......great racing action - I think everyone had a great time - even with the final race being as rough as it was......there were some TIRED Pro's coming in that last lap........
Good to meet you guys, too - in person - finally!!!! :) Hope to do a few more of these this year......I have a thing for pain, I guess! :)
Corry, is it me or does it just take a bit to pull up the pics from your site ??
I see red X's and jpg.'s I cant seem to click on???
Ive had a very slow computer today so I thought maybe it was just me .
Nope...not you.....our server timed out again while loading the thumbs....the pics are there....the thumbs aren't yet.....and once alot of people get on the site, it slows it way down........we are going to work on trying to fix that issue...in the meantime it's just slow until people get off the site.........what a pain, huh? I will post up some of the better ones later........so you don't have to wait through that.....and we will fix the upload for the thumbs so it's all there when we get home today.........unfortunately I can't fix it from work at all.......
What a great weekend for Racing at the Worcs race. For those who competed at the race, awesome job showing that ATV racing is here to stay with the 400+ entries to meet another milestone for WORCS. Do I hear 500 for Taft?
I got a lot of shots from the weekend (over 2000) , but I am finding it hard to know who was who. The frozen ground that turned to muddy conditions during the morning races made it very difficult to see numbers or even colors. But the afternoon races with Temperatures in the upper 60's.
There was definitly some coverage for the race with many of the big magazines being there, as well as many online sites showing up. I will have photos up soon and will post the link here as I always do. Can't wait to see the photos and race reports here at ATV Riders.
