2012 WORCS ATV Racing Round #7 - Cahuilla Creek MX August 5, 2012 Anza, California

Can-Am/Motoworks’ Dillon Zimmerman was looking strong as he grabbed the holeshot, which was icing on the cake for Zimmerman, who was celebrating his birthday on Sunday. Zimmerman was immediately under pressure from Beau Baron, but he held his ground and held off Baron for several laps before falling back to second. “It felt great to get that holeshot and lead. I felt good out there and my quad was running awesome. I knew it was going to be dusty, so I wanted a good start and I got it,” said Zimmerman.

Once in second place, Zimmerman set a fast and steady pace for himself and in the final laps, he got his second wind and was able to close the gap on the leader. “I closed in on Beau a bit, but he was running really fast and it was pretty dusty. I stayed close and finished in second. It was my best finish and I am really happy about it. Hopefully I can finish on the podium again at the final round,” said Zimmerman.

Can-Am/Motoworks’ Josh Frederick did not get the start he was looking for when the gate dropped. “I was last off the start and when I went into the rock section in the first lap, I ended up flipping and that put me behind again,” said Frederick.
Frederick was not about to give up and mounted an incredible charge, moving into sixth place before the end of the first lap. Frederick kept the hammer down and was able to take over the number three spot at the midway point of the race.

Once in third, he began to close the gap on his teammate, Dillon Zimmerman, but he was not able to see well enough due to all the dust and was not able to get close enough to make a pass. “It was so dusty and I couldn’t see so I ended up in third. Dillon was riding really well and I am really happy for him that he took second,” said Frederick.

Maxxis/H&M Motorsports, David Haagsma was in third off the start and held his position for several laps. “I caught up to Dillon, who was in second, but I was eating a lot of dust so I couldn’t really do anything and then Josh passed me so I just stayed in fourth and tried to stay consistent,” said Haagsma, who ended his day in fourth.
