GBC Racers' Win Big at WORCS SXS World Finals
Race Recaps from the WORCS Double Header in Primm, Nevada

Anaheim, CA (1/30/2017) - The 2017 race season is underway as members of the GBC Motorsports Rider Support Program dusted off their SXSs and headed out to the desert. SXS classes started the season off with a doubleheader at Buffalo Bill’s Casino in Primm, Nevada, where the SXS opening round of WORCS was combined with the SXS World Finals.

This marked the first ever SXS-only WORCS event, held over two days on two different courses. On the first day, racers would compete on a Lucas Oil style short course track, while on the second day they would hit a more traditional desert racing course. Results from these two motos would be combined to determine the World Finals champions in each class, while the overall winner would be decided from the Pro Production and Pro Stock classes.

Conditions were wet and muddy throughout the entire weekend as the Southwest was hit by record rainfall. GBC Motorsports’ Cody Bradbury finished 2nd in the first race and followed it up with the SXS Pro Production class win in the second race. This earned him not only the Pro Production title but also the overall World Finals victory, along with a $2500 cash prize. Fellow GBC racer Randy Romo bounced back from a rough first moto to a 3rd place Pro Production finish on day 2.

Nic Granlund added to the GBC Motorsports accolades on the weekend. A pair of 2nd place SXS Pro Stock finishes was enough to edge out the competition and earn the World Finals class title. Shelby Anderson also put in a pair of strong performances, earning a pair of fourth place finishes in the same class.

Casey Sims put together a 4-3 weekend in the Youth 800 Prod class, while Aaron Cuevas went 4-5 in the SXS Youth 250 Stock class.
