WORCS 2008-Round 1-Surprise, Arizona-Youth Coverage

[QuadJunkies]

Round 1 of the WORCS series kicks off in Surprise, Arizona .

After facing a very long, cold and wet Winter for the West Coast riders, everyone was looking forward to a little sunshine and warmth. They dont call it "Surprise" Arizona for nothing!

For the Friday MX practice, most of the youth riders would spent the day in the pits, rather than on the track as most of the track was completely buried in mud . Riders decided to spare there quads and just go out and race the Sat morning race instead.

In spite of the weather, riders were eager to start the 2008 season!!
Youth rider entries are expected to be very abundant this year as well as the trackside support, factory involvement and race teams.
ExtrememiniquadsNW will once again have there own Youth team as well as the newly formed DRR/Hetrick Race Team.
Having youth support is something fairly new to the series and is a great additon to all the uprising talent .Who would have ever thought youth riders would get such a thing!

Riders recieved trackside support from various companies including FOX shocks, MotoX Nutrition,and various Factories such as Polaris and Cam Am.

Saturdays racing would be the only day for the wk.end that was sunny blue skies.During the late evening it rained and left alot of sections of the track under water. With that said, again, youth riders were passing up the opportunity to spare themselves the sneak peak at the course and skip the unclassified.

Going into the 1st corner would play havoc for all the Youth classes.
The Picture is decieving... Even I had a hard time getting threw with my own quad w/o getting covered in mud or stuck!

The first set of riders off the line was the ****er Open class.
#10y Kelsey Lugan had a bit of bad luck into the 1st corner getting hung up in the mud .

Extrememinis NW rider #18y Parker Taylor would move up from the 3rd position in lap 1 to taking it to the #1 on he podium for the Shifter Open 8-15 yr . class.

#343 Ashley Clinton makes her way to the final slot on the podium, falling back one position in lap 1 to the #3 in lap 3.

Clinton's new 125 Hybrid seems to be working for her nicely.
