Ron Heath grabbed the Pro-Am Holeshot and
held the 2nd spot till the 8th lap when
he was sidelined, which dropped him back
to a 11th place finish |
In the Pro-am class, Can-Am/Motoworks’ Dillon
Zimmerman went on to take his third win of the season
and get even closer to Pro-am points leader, Josh
Row. Zimmerman came off the line in 6th and soon
worked his way into the number three position behind
Ron Heath and Drew Lattimar, but in lap seven, Heath
crashed and was unable to continue, putting Lattimar
in first and Zimmerman in second. In lap eight,
Lattimar began to tire and Zimmerman was able to
take advantage of all the extra training he has
been doing this season. “I’ve been training
a lot with Brandon (Smith) and the rest of the Motoworks
guys and it’s really paid off. My endurance
has really increased so I didn’t get tired
and was able to pass Drew,” said Dillon.

a rear tire didn't stop him from reeling
in Andrew Lattimar to secure his 2nd straight
win, and he is now less than 7 points behind

Josh
Row (right) secured yet another podium finish,

Angela Butler - Polaris Outlaw |
In the Women’s class, Angela Butler continued
to dominate and now has a six race winning streak.
Angela also placed 8th in the Pro-am class and
is holding steady at 6th in the Pro-am points
race. Amy Horst on the number 894 Honda once again
finished in second place in Women’s A followed
by Julie Russell in third, while both Donna Espensen
and Tammy Balser both ran into issues and were
forced to DNF.
Round seven of the WORCS series heads to Milford,
CA where Honey Lake MX will be the hosting facility
on September 26-28. The track website claims it
is the “dictionary definition of the perfect
WORCS race” and boasts a hill climb called
the MX395, which is one of the longest up-hills
in motocross, consisting of a vertical rise of
400 feet. The overall elevation change from the
starting area to the top of MX395 is 500 feet.
There is also a 99 DB limit at the track so racers
should be sure to bring along the necessary equipment
needed to meet the limit. You can check out the
WORCS website for more info about the facility
and accommodations at www.worcsracing.com.
