Logan, UT (2/14/2013)
- Round 2 of the WORCS series in Primm, NV was a successful weekend for Zbroz Racing. EXIT and Ars-FX riders brought home victories in several classes, along with strong finishes across the board.
PRO ATV:
After a confidence inspiring Pro practice on Saturday, Collins Webster, Keith Johnson and Robbie Mitchell were dialed and ready to get the race underway. Unfortunately for Keith Johnson, his EXIT/Ars-FX suspended Honda had other plans. During the prerace prep, it was determined that his motor was transferring oil between the cases. With no time to solve the issue, he saddled up and went for it. Several laps into the main event, his Honda called it quits for the day, resulting in a DNF.

After an inspiring, in less then desirable conditions at round 1, Robbie Mitchell was ready to come out swinging for round 2. Robbie kicked over his EXIT/Ars-FX suspended Honda and railed out of the dead engine start, entering the trophy truck track mid pack. After dealing with a few issues, he managed to fight his way to a 6th place finish. Robbie heads to round 3, fourth in the points, tied with Josh Frederick.
Pro ATV rookie Collins Webster put on another solid ride, aboard his EXIT shocks suspended Can-AM DS450. Collins finished lap one, hot on the heels of Yamahas Josh Row and continued to put his head down for the duration of the main event. A strong 7th place finish at the end of the day, is a solid platform, which he will certainly build on during the upcoming races. Collins sits 7th place in the series points standings after two rounds.
PRO-AM ATV:
Round 1 of the WORCS series, saw Mike Sloan show up Sunday morning with no practice and ZERO time on his new EXIT/Ars-FX suspended Honda. He then lined up on the back row, started at the back of the pack and landed himself on the podium at the end of the day. Round 2 was a different story with a similar result. Mike grabbed the holeshot in the Pro-am main, before spinning out on the slick truck track, resulting in the loss of several positions. By the end of lap 2, he had worked his way up to 2nd behind Cody Mitchell. Mike quickly got by for the lead and never looked back, grabbing his first ever Pro-am victory. Carrying the points lead into round 3 in Lake Havasu, look for Mike to come out swinging once again!
